    Thousand Trails Bear Cave

    Great Campground

    This is a nice, family friendly campground. Lots of very friendly other campers, a heated pool, playground for the kids, nice size lots with fire pits, picnic tables, electric& water (including at tent sites). Pool has an ADA lift chair. 2 shower/bath houses, camp store, a real bear cave you can tour in (free), a creek that meanders through it. The resort sits on the St. Joseph river & this park has a boat ramp & dock for fishing. There is a gate that campers need a code to get into so it keeps out unwanted’s. Nice staff. Yolanda is a great manager. Security, a ‘honey wagon’. Laundry center. Quiet hours are 10p-8a. It’s near Buchanan Michigan and the RED BUD Motor Cross track. Very friendly people, always stopping and talking.

    Air conditioning in the bathrooms

    Very nice campground with level sites and air conditioned bathrooms! That is amazing in the summer. They have trails that are a nice walk for the dogs and a pond to catch and release fish.

    Shamrock Park

    Hidden Gem

    The ranger was awesome. You can buy firewood and ice on site. There’s WiFi, electricity, showers and bathrooms. The campground is right on the water-perfect for kayaking or fishing. There’s also all sorts of activities for kids-ping pong, basketball, cornhole and more. It’s also a quick walk to a grocery store and restaurants. There’s no grill on the fire pit, so plan accordingly.

    Shipshewana North Park Campground

    Nice campground in a convenient location

    We were passing through and decided to stop for frozen custard at the stand right next to the campground. The first review for this place did not seem very inviting but a more recent one was a little more positive. After checking it out, I thought it could use a little reinforcement of the positives! I’m not sure if there have been new owners since the first review but I received a very friendly greeting, and the office is open from 9 am– 8 pm and clearly marked as the place to check-in. 

    There are many options here: back-in or pull-thru tent sites, w/e sites, full hook-up sites, camper cabins, and fully equipped cabins. The campsites range from $32-$46 per night and the cabins range from $69-$144 per night. Sites 47-52 are close to the road so you will hear road noise, but Sites 11-35 are farther from the road and are more shaded. The layout is RV park style but there is reasonable separation between the sites. 

    The restrooms have a code for entry, and I did not see the inside of these.

    Amenities include:

    - a community fire pit

    -  game room with television

    - guest laundry 

    - dump station

    - gift shop

    - pet friendly options

     -WiFi

    - There is, of course, an ice cream/frozen custard stand that I dare you to resist. 

    While we would not consider it a destination, we would definitely consider camping here en route – the price is reasonable, and the staff is friendly and welcoming.

    Very pleasant

    Hope, the owner, is always so friendly & helpful. The restrooms/showers are nice and clean. You can get an entire 4 wheeler dump load of wood for $20. It’s nice dry wood. When we’ve camped in the past during April & October, we got free firewood those months. There’s a nice little camp store. We were given a nice welcome packet at check-in with visitor guides for the area. They recycle also. Pool and small miniature golf course. We really enjoy camping here. We’ve camped on several different sites here. We’ve stayed on the deluxe patio sites a couple of times when they were available. They have patio table & chairs on extra wide concrete pad, gas grill, fire pit & seating area in back.

    Indiana Dunes State Park Campground

    Clean & Spacious

    We pulled in around 4:30 in the evening. The sight was spacious with plenty of room in between sites. Since the weather was cooler , it was pretty sparse with other campers. We stayed 2 nights over the weekend. You are within walking distance to the beach within the park. The buildings have great architecture. The sight had 50 amp electric hook ups but no water or sewer connections, and we knew that going in. We had a back in sight #69. There was plenty of space on all sides. We have a 37’ motorhome and pulled a Jeep behind it. There was plenty of room to maneuver around. The sight also had a wood picnic table and fire ring for a wood fire pit. We will definitely be back! I wish I had taken more photos from the beach and beach pavilion.

    Michigan City Campground

    Great campground, will return

    This is a beautifully kept campground just outside Michigan City, IN. It is gated so will need to call in once you arrive to enter. We stayed  in the premium sites which were 90ft pull thought with 50A service, water and sewer, and the best wifi I have seen at a campsite. The cement patio was large with a picnic table and an adjacent fire pit. There is swimming pool and a game room, and a small store with the essentials, and propane.

    You are close to Indiana Dunes and the downtown area of Michigan city. Good food, shops are close by. 

    By the way there are a number of cabins/mini homes to rent.

    Dunewood Campground — Indiana Dunes National Park

    Easy camping

    You gotta love Indiana dunes national lakeshore! A quick drive from chicago this campsite is a real good place to get away from the city and enjoy the outdoors. It’s one of my favorite places to go within an hour’s drive. The campsite has everything you need. Modern bathrooms and showers, running water. Good for tent camping. It’s clean and a quick drive to a quiet beach at Beverly Shores. I highly recommend!

    Potato Creek State Park Campground

    Big, clean and plenty to do

    The park itself is rather large, and the camping area is pretty expansive as well. Bathrooms are cleanish…but they start getting a little wild as the weekend wears on. Perpetual mud and slop from the showers, but functional. The sites are roomy enough but they are a little close together. Some sites are shaded, some are open…hard to tell when booking. Not many trees to set up a hammock on site. General store was well stocked and the staff across the board were very helpful.


Guide to North Liberty

Potato Creek State Park and surrounding campgrounds near North Liberty, Indiana offer diverse overnight experiences beyond standard tent sites. The region sits at the intersection of wetlands, prairies, and woodlands approximately 800 feet above sea level. Seasonal variations create distinct camping conditions from spring's soggy grounds to fall's prime hiking weather with temperatures ranging from the 50s-80s°F during peak camping season.

What to do

Bike the trails: At Potato Creek State Park Campground, dedicated bike paths provide extensive riding options. "Peppermint Hill mountain bike/hiking loop was really fun and not to be missed," notes a visitor. The park features beginner mountain bike trails and paved paths for casual riders.

Winter activities: When snow covers the region, many campgrounds remain accessible. One visitor to Potato Creek mentioned, "Trail number one is a 1 mile weird loop that has some neat scenery, especially in the summertime," though trails transform into cross-country skiing routes during winter months.

Fishing opportunities: The St. Joseph River at Bear Cave RV Campground provides river access for anglers. "Nice river fishing, nice stream scenery," reports one camper. The campground includes boat launches and docks for water access.

Dune climbing: For a unique topographical experience, Warren Dunes State Park offers challenging sand formations. "Mt. Randall is the high dune to climb but not for the faint of heart! And beware, the sand does get HOT midday," warns a visitor. The dunes create a completely different terrain experience compared to the wetlands around North Liberty.

What campers like

Upgraded facilities: The bathroom facilities at Maple Ridge Campground receive consistent praise. "The shower and bathroom was the best I ever saw at a campground," notes one visitor. Several campgrounds in the area have renovated their comfort stations in recent years.

Privacy between sites: Many campers appreciate the natural buffers between campsites. At Indiana Dunes State Park Campground, a visitor observed, "The best sites are the ones on the outside from the beach trail to the nature center. These are up against the dunes and have some shade."

Family programming: Scheduled activities enhance the camping experience for families. At Maple Ridge, one camper mentioned, "Multiple activities on Saturday included tractor ride, kids bingo, and elephant ears." Weekend programming varies by season and campground.

Yurt options: For those interested in yurt camping near North Liberty, Indiana, several area campgrounds now offer these structures as alternatives to traditional tents. Warren Dunes State Park includes yurt accommodations that provide a more weatherproof option while maintaining a connection to the natural environment.

What you should know

Seasonal mosquitoes: Insect activity can affect comfort levels. At Tippecanoe River State Park, a visitor warned, "The mosquitos get bad in the summer, so come prepared. We camped the end of May and they were just getting going. Spring and late fall would be a good time to visit."

Train noise: Several campgrounds experience railroad disturbances. One camper at Indiana Dunes State Park noted, "The only reason I rate this park a three is that it's very close to train lines and the trains going through and blasting their horns all night long."
