      KOA Campground Middlebury

      Friendly (with a Broken Toilet)

      This was our first time camping in our 1991 Coachman Catalina RV with our two small dogs. We had site 50, which was close to a trail and not far from the bathrooms. The campers around us were very friendly. Our dogs were attempting to get used to not barking when they saw other dogs, but everyone was very understanding that it was our/their first time. The site was quiet and offers a few mini golf holes, gaga ball, some photo ops, and a pier. One of the toilets in the women’s restroom wasn’t refilling with water, so every time I went in there, I would fix it. The flusher handle was clearly broken, too. Otherwise, the bathroom accommodations were fine.

      Dunewood Campground — Indiana Dunes National Park

      Beautiful forest campground

      It was nice camping here. There is an asphalted road leading right to the campsites. The hot, adjustable showers are perfect. The sites are made of gravel paved with sand, which makes them perfectly flat. I liked that.

      Wooded NP campground

      Clean lighted bathrooms and hot showers. Very shady campground but not much privacy between sites. About a mile walk to the lakeshore.

      Great quiet place

      Staying through the week just on the outside of Labor Day Weekend. This place was perfect for us to come over and get away from it and enjoy the changing weather. Electric only sites, and the staff were friendly. Always enjoy coming here for good hiking and beach time.

      Van Buren State Park Campground

      Van Buren State Park Campground

      We really like the campgrounds and beach. The bathrooms are pretty new and very clean. It has a very family friendly vibe and quiet atmosphere. However, the highway(196) is pretty close to the campground and you can hear traffic all night long. A couple of times I woke up and thought I was sleeping on the highway.

      Indiana Dunes State Park Campground

      Nice overnight stay

      We had an overnight stay here during some pretty nasty weather. Site 7 was perfect as it has a very wide concrete landing pad that kept us from trudging around our site in mud. Flooded roads resulted in a road race being diverted through the park. We were able to cheer them on while having dinner at our campfire. There’s a paved walkway around the circumference of the campground which allows you to take a nice stroll. Trails to the lake are easily accessible. The bathrooms and showers were clean, although a bit dated. We had a pleasant evening.

      Rocking Horse Camping Ranch

      Unsafe, unresponsive host

      We reserved this mobile home camping experience through Hipcamp that had(overall) positive reviews. When we arrived, the area of town was run-down as was the property itself. I would not have felt comfortable staying there with kids. In addition, due to a storm the day before, the entire area around the mobile home was flooded. There was nowhere to walk, drive or park that was not under water. This was an unacceptable and unsafe situation. In addition, we needed to find a new place to stay late in the evening. We reached out to the owner to cancel and he refused to refund our money; an overall awful experience.

      Nicely designed

      Cute spot found on hip camp. Had most of it to myself on a weeknight in September. The flowers are a very thoughtful touch.

    Guide to Bridgman

    Campsites near Bridgman, Michigan offer diverse options beyond the main Lake Michigan shoreline attractions. The inland areas feature wooded campsites within 15 miles of the city, with terrain ranging from riverfront settings to inland lakes. Summer temperatures typically reach 75-85°F during the day, while spring and fall camping brings cooler conditions with nighttime temperatures often dropping below 50°F, requiring proper gear.

    What to do

    Fishing opportunities: The St. Joseph River provides excellent fishing spots at Shamrock Park in Berrien Springs. "What impressed me most was that they have a building specifically for cleaning fish, with scales, cutting boards and sinks," notes Brian O.

    Hiking trails: Trail networks extend beyond beach areas with varied terrain. At Warren Dunes State Park Campground, "My site had a trail head leading out off the back, it was perfect. Warren Dunes has tons of trails, dunes and beaches," according to Amy G.

    Winter camping options: Several campgrounds operate year-round. Shamrock Park remains open when other sites close. "Village owned and operated campground, right on the St. Joseph River. Open all year. Many long term campers. $35 gets you a level full hook up site with WiFi," shares Michael.

    What campers like

    Beach alternatives: While Lake Michigan beaches draw crowds, local lakes offer quieter options. At Thousand Trails Bear Cave, campers enjoy "nice paths for walking or biking. Close to nearby Lake Michigan and beaches," according to Denise G.

    Natural features: Beyond sand dunes, the area offers unique natural attractions. "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," notes Gay G. about Thousand Trails Bear Cave.

    Campground facilities: Many campgrounds offer amenities beyond basic services. At Coloma/St. Joseph KOA Holiday, "They had movie nights, we met Disney characters, did crafts, and enjoyed the barrel train & ice cream sundaes. The actual spots aren't huge, but since the campground is smaller that wasn't a shock," shares Cassie B.

    What you should know

    Distance considerations: Beach access varies significantly by campground. At Weko Beach Campground, "The campground is very close to the beach just a short walk. The only challenge is that most of the camp spots are not level so bring your levelers," advises Lee D.

    Noise factors: Some campgrounds experience noise from nearby highways and trains. At Dunewood Campground, campers "could hear Trains throughout the night," reports Truly W., though they still rated the experience highly.

    Reservation requirements: Peak seasons require advance planning, particularly for weekend stays. "We lucked into a night at this gorgeous campground. Yes, the spots are small and yes there's lots of seasonal campers, but everyone is super friendly and you can't get closer to this gorgeous beach," notes Cathleen about Weko Beach Campground.

    Tips for camping with families

    Playground access: Multiple campgrounds feature dedicated play areas. "There's a large stack of firewood, so it's easy to get a bundle that's good and dry. We did go to Warren Dunes for an afternoon. It's busy and crowded," shares Brian O. about Shamrock Park.

    Swimming options: Lake swimming alternatives exist for families wanting calmer waters. At Potato Creek State Park Campground, "Hiking, biking swimming, fishing, what more could you ask for. We love it here," notes Jason S.

    Campsite selection: When booking with children, location within campgrounds matters. At Coloma/St. Joseph KOA Holiday, "It was small enough for our kids to ride bikes around alone and they frequented the park, which we could see from our site. Jumping pillow & mini golf were also a hit," explains Cassie B.

    Tips from RVers

    Electric hookup distances: Many sites require extended electric cords. At Potato Creek State Park Campground, "Be ready with back up cords, some sites require 75 ft to hook up. With dog friendly beaches, beginner MTB trails and paved bike paths, this checks all our boxes," advises Frank M.

    Site leveling challenges: Terrain at several campgrounds requires preparation. Lee D. notes about Weko Beach Campground: "The only challenge is that most of the camp spots are not level so bring your levelers!"

    Seasonal considerations: RV campers should note off-season closures. While Warren Dunes State Park remains open year-round, most campgrounds close between October and May, with only limited facilities during winter months.
