Best Glamping near Ora, IN

411 Reviews

Potato Creek State Park Campground and Indiana Dunes State Park combine their glamping accommodations with lake access and natural beauty. While traditional tent and RV camping are common, the parks' glamping options provide climate-controlled environments with comfortable bedding and electricity. At Potato Creek, the glamping units sit within a spacious, wooded setting that provides privacy between accommodations. Indiana Dunes offers more premium glamping experiences with views of the massive sand dunes and Lake Michigan. The cabins in these parks have been upgraded to offer luxury amenities not found in standard camping, including kitchenettes and private bathrooms. As one guest noted, "The site was spacious with plenty of room in between sites. The buildings have great architecture."

Multiple hiking trails wind through both properties, providing glamping guests with immediate access to nature without sacrificing comfort. Indiana Dunes glamping visitors can walk directly to the massive dunes and Lake Michigan beaches from their luxury accommodations. Water activities feature prominently at both locations, with Potato Creek offering boat rentals during summer months. Guests staying in glamping accommodations at these parks also appreciate the proximity to modern amenities like clean shower facilities, camp stores with essentials, and nearby dining options. The parks maintain seasonal programming like ranger-led hikes and wildlife watching opportunities specifically catering to glamping visitors. According to a camper, "We had a great experience. Campsites had decent privacy and even on a Friday night, quiet hours were respected. The bathrooms and showers were very clean, and the free showers were the best we've experienced in a campground."

    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.

    Oak Lake RV Resort

    We came for a weekend… Stayed nearly 2 weeks! Oak Lake RV Resort is where family memories are made.

    6 people, 1 pup & a 44.4' Keystone Sprinter... Oak Lake RV Resort handled it all with ease & gave us the BEST camping trip ever! From the moment you drive up, staff are waiting in golf carts to guide you to your site & even help with setup. We were nervous about fitting our big rig, but pull-through site #17 made it flawless. Where else does that??

    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!!Pond swimming & obstacle course, movies on our inflatable screen, golf cart glow parades, s’mores, homemade campfire pizzas & endless family memories. The kids are still raving about it!

    Rebecca deserves a huge shoutout for going above & beyond! Tom & Marianne, the owners, are amazing hosts who clearly pour their hearts into making Oak Lake special. Even the coin operated laundry was a lifesaver & convinced us we need a washer/dryer in our camper for future impromptu stays 😂.

    We’re already talking about being put on the list for a seasonal site for next year bc we know we’ll be back again & again. Oak Lake RV Resort is Newton County’s hidden gem!!! If you’re searching for fun, hospitality & true family camping memories... THIS is the place!! Hands down, every time.

    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!

    Lakeshore Camp Resort

    One step above WALMART

    This campground hosts many permanent or monthly campers, as evidenced by semi permanent structures, fences etc. There is a small lake that offers swimming and fishing, but we did not use this area. It is a huge area, with 4 shower and bathroom facilities, but they were old and needed maintenance and updating. One of us was brave enough to shower there, the other one preferred to take a sponge bath in the van. Each site that we saw had electric and waste water and potable water, so this was convenient. There is a loud highway nearby. The camp is a ten minute drive from West Beach area of Indiana Dunes National Park. As we ate breakfast on the supplied picnic table, the neighbor next to us had a loud argument with another resident involving a presumed theft, and police visited.

    Dunewood Campground — Indiana Dunes National Park

    Great campground.

    We stayed for two nights and had a great experience.  Campsites had decent privacy and  even on a Friday night, quiet hours were respected.  We were on a wheelchair accessible site which was the only one available, so there was more pavement than the other sites.

    There was a dishwashing sink which is always handy.  The bathrooms and showers were very clean, and the free showers were the best we've experienced in a campground with plenty of hot water, good water pressure, plenty of hooks and a bench. 

    Some noise from the highway and the trains, but I like trains so it was fine.  We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

    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.

    Potato Creek State Park Campground

    1st time, will definitely be back.

    Our first time here with our pop-up. It's a beautiful park. So much nature to explore, so we'll have to come back again. Note that my four star rating is based on five stars being perfection, so I would still definitely recommend it.

    Our site was purposely located close to a bathhouse, but was not too close to have any bothersome noises. The bathhouse was a bit dated, but pretty clean. Individual stall showers with inner and outer curtains. Curtains could have been a bit longer, because the inner one allowed lots of spray into the outer "dry" part of the stall.

    Great playground on the east side of the first loop. Kids seem to play there for hours and enjoy riding bikes around the loops. Very well manicured grounds, including paths from the sites to the bathhouse.

    Nice little store that had a little bit of everything attendants were friendly. Firewood available. Cheaper outside the park, but don't mind supporting the park. Was open till 9PM even on Sunday.

    Beach was small, but seems adequate for the number of people there. Could use a little sand cleaning, but not bad. Swimming area roped off to keep boats out. Bathrooms have showers.

    Already planning our next visit!

Guide to Ora

Glamping options near Ora, Indiana offer climate-controlled accommodations ranging from basic to luxury within reach of several lakes and rivers. Most parks that provide glamping experiences are within a 45-minute drive of Ora, making weekend getaways accessible for families seeking comfort in natural settings. The northern Indiana terrain features relatively flat landscapes with scattered wooded areas and multiple water features.

What to do

Water recreation at Tippecanoe River: Just 20 minutes from Ora, this state park provides multiple river access points for canoeing and kayaking. "Small but worth going. Fire tower climb was beautiful. A nice little place to relax," notes Nicole B. from Tippecanoe River State Park Campground.

Hiking at Potato Creek: Located 30 minutes northeast of Ora, this park features multiple trail difficulties. "I've probably hiked it two dozen times at least and it's got nice trails for the part of Indiana that it's in. Most of them are relatively flat with some trails, like number two, having some hills and stairs in them," according to Kaley A. from Potato Creek State Park Campground.

Quarry swimming at France Park: This former limestone quarry creates a unique swimming experience with clear water. "The quarry, wow! It was beyond stunning and never what I expected to see in an Indiana park. We had an amazing hike, checking out the quarry," shares Jennifer K. from France Park.

Mountain biking trails: Nearby parks feature beginner-friendly trails. "Bike trails, hiking trails, fishing, beach fun for the whole family," mentions Brad H. about recreation options at Potato Creek State Park.

What campers like

Privacy between sites: Several glamping locations near Ora offer better spacing than typical campgrounds. "Our site was spacious with lots of trees. Great activities for kids of all ages," reports Susan C. about Indiana Dunes State Park Campground.

Clean shower facilities: Many campers mention the quality of bathroom facilities. "The shower house was clean with good hot water. A camper sink for dishwashing was a nice bonus. The hosts were friendly," notes Katherine T. about her stay at Dunewood Campground.

Seasonal activities: Parks organize special events throughout camping season. "We had a decently large site for our 23' camper. Lots for the kids to do- park, beach, fishing, pretty trails, waterfall, little camp store etc..." shares Heather G. about France Park.

Beach access: Several glamping options provide lake access within walking distance. "This campground was very nice and clean and for a packed park was very quiet and we did not feel too close to the sites next to us. We spent 2 nights here and went mountain biking at Imagination Glen Park in Portage just a few miles down the road which was awesome," reports Jeffrey S. about Indiana Dunes State Park.

What you should know

Train noise concerns: Proximity to rail lines affects some campgrounds. "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. If you're a heavy sleeper and can deal with that, you'll be just fine," warns Kaley A. about Indiana Dunes State Park.
