    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.

    Covert/South Haven KOA Holiday

    Our Favorite

    We camp here every year with our family since it is perfectly halfway between us, in Michigan, and my family in Chicago. The kids love the activities and the pool and my family who are not necessarily "outdoorsy" love that they can sleep in an air conditioned cabin with cable! This is an amazing campground!

    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.

    Kal-Haven Outpost

    Great place to bike to, spacious cabins, amazing staff

    A group of us bike from Kalamazoo to South Haven every year using the Kal-Haven trail. We usually tent camp but tried a cabin here this year. It was the perfect option as the campground is right off the trail. They provide linens and have basic supplies (including firewood that they will deliver to your cabin) right at the general store. We also met a group that had hiked in to the primative sites and were using the trail to train for the Appalachian Trail. Everything is well-made and maintained, and the staff is friendly and helpful (they even let us check-in early when we biked in ahead of schedule). Highly recommend for those looking for a place close to the trail and to South Haven. The cabins have three queen beds and a sofa sleeper so they can comfortably hold up to eight people (we had five in our group and I never felt crowded). There's a large table inside and two chairs on the porch. There's also a large picnic table outside, a fire pit, and a grill. They are hoping to expand and add cabins sized for couples in the near future.

    Elkhart RV Resort by Rjourney

    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.

    Covert/South Haven KOA Holiday

    Our first KOA

    We weren’t sure what to expect given this was our first visit. But overall it was a good experience. Delivery service of food and firewood was great. Trash pickup was appreciated. WiFi reception was a welcomed surprise. Showers and bathrooms were clean. If you go, be sure to reserve one of the sites with the paved patio, pad and provided grill. Very nice. Most importantly, it was very quiet after 9pm when everything closed.

    Downside - sites are a little cramped and the pool was very crowded.

    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.


Guide to Bridgman

Warren Dunes State Park restricts alcohol consumption throughout its grounds. Located within a 1,952-acre natural area, the campground offers traditional camping alternatives to their glamping sites with both modern and rustic loops available. The campground stays open year-round, serving as a base for exploring Lake Michigan's eastern shore, with summer temperatures typically ranging from 70-85°F during peak season.

What to do

Beach activities and water sports: Clear Lake at Fuller's Resort and Campground provides an alternative to Lake Michigan for families. "Beautiful beach with crystal clear water. (Clear Lake.... fits). Go during the week if you prefer less crowds," notes Steve G., highlighting the swimming options beyond Warren Dunes.

Dog-friendly beaches: Warren Dunes State Park features a dedicated dog beach separate from the main swimming areas. "We went here for the sole purpose of the dog beach. Miles and miles of it! It's a beautiful park with lots of trails, lots of dunes and beach on Lake Michigan," shares Amy G., making it an excellent option for travelers with pets.

Cave exploration: Thousand Trails Bear Cave offers a unique geological feature not found at Warren Dunes. "There is actually a cave in the campground that you can take a tour of while you are here. There is also a waterfall right next to the cave," explains Jerry S., providing an alternative activity for non-beach days.

What campers like

Natural privacy between sites: The wooded sections of Warren Dunes provide more seclusion than the glamping areas. "Lots of shade and plenty of privacy between sites. The bathroom seemed newer with clean bathrooms and private shower stalls," reports Heidi S., describing the South modern loop's advantages.

Fishing opportunities: Shamrock Park provides river fishing access not available at Warren Dunes. Brian O. appreciates the specialized amenities: "What impressed me most was that they have a building specifically for cleaning fish, with scales, cutting boards and sinks." The St. Joseph River offers different fishing experiences than Lake Michigan.

Playground facilities: For families with younger children, Michigan City Campground offers recreational options beyond beach play. "There is swimming pool and playground for the kids, nice size lots with fire pits, picnic tables, electric & water (including at tent sites)," explains Gay G., noting the range of on-site activities.

What you should know

Alcohol restrictions: Warren Dunes strictly prohibits alcohol throughout the park and actively enforces this rule. "If you think the rangers don't enforce that rule, you're wrong. Our neighbors got busted for it when we were there," warns Dave E., providing crucial information for visitors planning evening campfires.

Beach access logistics: The distance between camping areas and beach access points requires planning. "Plan on driving your stuff to the beach or taking bicycles. Mt. Randall is the high dune to climb but not for the faint of heart!" advises Heidi S., noting the transportation needs for beach equipment.

Train noise concerns: Indiana Dunes State Park Campground visitors should prepare for railroad disruptions. "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," cautions Kaley A., highlighting a potential sleep quality issue.

Tips for camping with families

Pool alternatives: Coloma/St. Joseph KOA Holiday provides water recreation beyond the beach. "They have a heated pool, hot tub, movie for kids, train ride for kids. Small sites, lots of people," shares Lori S., describing the structured activities available for children.

Site selection for families: At Warren Dunes, campsite location affects the experience. "We recommend securing a spot in the back sites 230-287 for larger lots and quieter atmosphere. Younger families tend to book up front near the playground and the noise and activities are more robust," suggests Frank M., offering practical advice on choosing the right site.

Multiple playgrounds: Shamrock Park features several playground options for different age groups. "Really quiet, super clean and nice facilities! Right on the river and two great playgrounds for kids!" reports Melissa C., highlighting the benefits for families with children of varied ages.

Tips from RVers

Hookup limitations: Warren Dunes offers electric hookups but lacks water and sewer connections at sites. "You need to fill your tank up but it was set up really nice," advises Jeffrey S., noting the need to arrive with full water tanks and empty waste tanks.

Full hookup alternatives: Dunewood Campground — Indiana Dunes National Park offers a different experience regarding utilities. "The sites are decently private with good tent pads. Shower house was clean with good hot water. A camper sink for dishwashing was a nice bonus," notes Katherine T., highlighting amenities that complement the basic hookups.

Seasonal site availability: Many campgrounds near Bridgman reserve their premium sites for long-term visitors. "The only sewer hook-ups are all taken by seasonal campers," mentions Jerry S. about Bear Cave, indicating RVers should book alternative options well in advance.
