Oak Lake RV Resort features basic furnished cabins with electricity and beds, while Cedar Lake Ministries RV Park offers clean, well-maintained cabin accommodations.

Oak Lake RV Resort has a general store for essential items, and Cedar Lake Ministries is located near grocery stores for more substantial shopping needs.

"We stayed in the off season in a site close to the laundry facility and office. Great campground for families. Our site was smaller however, no one was around us so it seemed bigger."
ScoutNice, clean, quiet, simple state park set up. Many miles of paved and crushed limestone trails. The actual Kankakee River access is sort of outside of the campground- that would be my only complaint. You have to walk or bike a little distance to be near the river. Seemed very well maintained and we loved it!
ScoutBobbie and Tony thank u so much guys are amazing! If ur planning on camping everyone's so welcoming u can tell they really care about the grounds eveything is kept very clean with friendly camp ground neighbors my bf and I were traveling with our dog and found this camp ground randomly and we are so glad we found it we will absolutely be back
TravelerThe campground is right off of US-30 and IN-23 so pretty convent other than due to construction on 30 right now. But being right off of a major US highway it can be a little noisy. Short term sites are just grass but pretty close to level side to side. Think I had to raise door side like an inch. Water pressure was okay but drops during the day. At about 600 PM I was struggling to get more than 40psi even with regulator all the way open. I don’t think it is worth $65 a night but there are more expensive options closer to Plymouth
TravelerTrailer was nice plenty to do. A lot of seasonal sites. was a pleasant enough stay. Looks like a converted Yogi Bear campground. A lot of storm damage around the campground. Pools were clean, bathrooms and shower houses are a bit dated but clean. They are about every 5 rows/streets. You can rent golf carts which seems the main mode of transportation. Nice rowboat lake with a beach for swimming. Small fast food restaurant small menu weird hours and more expensive that your normal fast food places. All in all it was a nice place and activities are plenty close to Chicago and one of the closest, also very close to the Indiana Dunes and Lake Michigan.
ScoutChris likes to run a tight ship, but she has a good heart. There are so many activities in the summer for kids it’s non stop action and for the adults it’s usually just a chill by the fire or lakeside kind of of place. I’m a heavy sleeper so the highway traffic doesn’t bother me one bit!
ScoutWe got in late, grabbed an empty lot and after realizing I ran off and forgot my plug adapter, we called it a night. Generator powered lights and that was enough. The owner and campers around us were very friendly!
ScoutWe love this KOA that is the closest one to our home.
TravelerThis campground is conveniently located near interstate 94, town, Lake Michigan and food. The spots closer to the highway are a bit noisy, but it’s a great park overall!
TravelerVery crowded, We stayed by the front gate and it was noisy. All the amenities were working, the staff was very nice and accommodating. full hook ups although my 32 ft. Class C hardly fit the site. There was a band the weekend we stayed. The pools were clean and nice the beach was nice with a platform and floating slide. we rented a golf cart it ran nice. Close to the Dunes for a day trip. Would definitely stay again. Had a great time.
Cabins near Lowell, Indiana sit within an area characterized by gently rolling terrain typical of northern Indiana's glacial plain topography, with elevations ranging from 650-710 feet above sea level. The region features a continental climate with four distinct seasons, including warm summers reaching mid-80s (°F) and cold winters with average temperatures in the 20s. Most cabin rental properties remain open from mid-April through October, with limited winterized options available during the colder months.
Hiking at Sand Creek Campground: Located 27 miles from Lowell, this campground offers access to multiple trail systems through wooded areas. "We came in without a reservation and got a nice spot for a camper, showers were decent and hosts were nice!" notes Maya L. at Sand Creek Campground.
Water activities at Lakeshore Camp Resort: The resort provides swimming options with a pool and lake access about 40 minutes from Lowell. A camper reports, "We were there the week before peak season opened so none of the pools or splash pads were open, but they were very accommodating so that we could still play mini golf and ride around on the pedal cars." Water toys are available for an additional fee.
Mountain biking at Camp Bullfrog Lake: The extensive trail system makes this location particularly appealing for cyclists. "What's great about this location is the access to the miles and miles of MTB and hiking trails just out the front step of your campsite," writes Josh M. from Camp Bullfrog Lake. The campground also offers kayak rentals for $15 per hour including life vests.
Clean facilities at Michigan City Campground: This gated campground maintains well-kept facilities throughout. "Bathrooms were really clean but small. The only complaint of the weekend was the garbage pickup at 11pm, very loud, and the fireworks being set off until after midnight," mentions Beth B. at Michigan City Campground.
Privacy between campsites: Several cabins offer more secluded options compared to standard campsites. At Kankakee River State Park, campers appreciate the layout: "Spacious sites with lush jungle-like greenery grown in between, which provides perfect privacy. Easy access to water pump. Have to drive to get to the toilet/shower station though."
Free firewood provisions: Oak Lake RV Resort provides complimentary firewood with stays. One camper describes their experience: "We originally booked August 22–25, extended to the 29th & then lucked into staying through Labor Day weekend. We canceled our other plans because Oak Lake had everything we wanted & more!"
Reservation requirements: Most cabin properties book quickly during peak season (June-August). At Pioneer Family Campground, one camper notes: "It is a very nice campground. It could use some updates. More water and electric sites. Bathrooms are clean but small. The dump station was full and we couldn't dump our camper. The staff is very nice but not always at the camp store."
Noise levels: Train traffic affects several campgrounds in the region. At Camp Sullivan, a visitor reports: "The safety issues have me seriously concerned. They lock the gates (both of them!) to the campground with a PADLOCK at night until 7 in the morning! I had to search for someone to let me out for my meeting."
Weather preparedness: Northern Indiana experiences significant weather variations between seasons. Some cabins offer heating but limited air conditioning. At Camp Bullfrog Lake, one camper warns: "There is NO shade during the day. None at all due to the trees within the campground being small."
Playground accessibility: Several campgrounds feature playground equipment with varying quality. Pioneer Family Campground offers "a small playground, and a pond for swimming and fishing. This campground gets stars from me for the gorgeous and peaceful surroundings, as well as very friendly staff."
Swimming options: Look for properties with swimming facilities for children. One family at Oak Lake RV Resort shares: "Pulled in as the sun was coming down after a looong day of driving. Our site was right next to the playground and my kids had a blast swinging, climbing, and jumping while we set up camp."
Safety features: Security measures vary between locations. At Michigan City Campground, a parent appreciated that it's a "gated campground so not just anyone can come in, very clean and a nice pool."
Site size considerations: Many cabin and RV sites have limited space. One RVer at Lakeshore Camp Resort cautions: "Easy enough to find. Checkin was a breeze. The pool is the size of a backyard pool. My biggest complaint is the size of the sites. We are on top of each other. I have a 26 foot class c and the pad for the adjacent site is at my tailgate."
Access for larger rigs: Some properties can accommodate larger vehicles while others have restrictions. At Camp Sullivan, a camper advises: "When you are checking in with trailer make sure you don't turn left to the office. It will be hard to turn around. I recommend stopping when you get to the fork in the road as the RV sites are to the right."
Hookup availability: Water and electric options vary substantially between sites. One RVer at Camp Bullfrog Lake notes: "Really nice campground. No water hookups. Water on site but, not ideal. Really nice views. Very quiet. Super friendly staff and neighbors."
