Best Glamping near New Buffalo, MI

This is a great area for those who (like us) have made I-80 a semi-annual migration pattern ;-) All kidding aside, this is a perfect spot either to or from the Chicago area. From Indiana Dunes State Park all the way up the coast to New Buffalo, the area is dotted with great little restaurants, wineries, and breweries. Tourist-y without being tacky.

There are plenty or rentals for those looking for a house-type stay.

Quick Tip: Prepare for cold water! Lake Michigan is usually pretty cold until later in the summer.

Hike-to is a must. You walk down steps or a ramp to your area, tent pad with a picnic table and firepit. So beautiful when the sun comes up. Showers and toilets regularly cleaned and modern. Close to shops where you can get food/beer/firewood etc. venture into portage or Michigan city for some food. Great taste of Lake Michigan for the lower midwesterners! I will be returning.

Lake Michigan is gorgeous, next to casino an outlet malls, clean place.

We enjoyed riding ebikes on the trails. Lunch at the beach front (Lake Michigan) was good and great views. Clean br/shower houses. Would recommend

This is a lovely park with awesome views of Lake Michigan & fun (somewhat challenging) hikes on the sandunes!! Campsite is pretty open & not much privacy from neighboring campers!

Nice campground on Lake Michigan. Lots of hiking. Large swimming beach on the lake. There were quite a few mosquitos, but we managed. The shower house was large and well maintained.

Campground quiet and bathroom and showers very clean. Our site was close to the trails leading to the dunes. Loved watching the waves on Lake Michigan and climbing the sand dunes.

Definitely tackle the 3 Dune Challenge when staying here! give you a great view of Lake Michigan. Bathroom rooms and shower were super clean. Dog friendly campsite and right next to the lake!

Happened upon this Gem when driving the coast of Lake Michigan.  Watched the solar eclipse from the beach.   The DBR had a viewing area setup for adults and kids.  Lots of trails and activities for the kids.  Pet friendly also.

The dunes is a great place to camp if you’re looking to be close to the water. In just a short hike, you can take in a breath-taking view of Lake Michigan. Definitely a must visit camping spot.

After camping in Maryland it was nice to have a large more inviting spot. Perfect for tent camping. Camp store has all you need. The dunes are epic and swimming in Lake Michigan was great. Have returned many times and is our go to park.

Wonderful state park on shore of Lake Michigan. Weekend blows up with people but is manageable. Great place to ride bikes; they had a swim beach but we did not take advantage of it. Plenty of hiking trails (3 dune challenge is a must!). Nice visitor's center too! Definitely check this place out!

I love this camp site.  It’s a great place to set up the tent, enjoy the fire, look for animas, and stargaze!  You are only a short, but difficult, hike up and down the dunes before you have a beautiful view of Lake Michigan.  Pack a lunch and enjoy it on top of the dunes!

This park has 2 different types of campsites- sites that are quite sandy 'in the dunes' and sites in a wooded area. Most sites are quite small with some space between for a bit more privacy. The park is pretty quiet at night possible due to the no alcohol policy. We enjoyed checking out the dunes and Lake Michigan.

We enjoyed our stay at Bear Cave RV Campground. This Park offers reservations however sites are assigned first come first serve. We had reservations and there were some concerns when we arrived if they had a site large enough to accommodate our rig. We ended up in the loop along the river which was shaded and level. The Park has a new manager, and you can tell she is putting money into this park to make it a nice campground. There are seasonal campers, but all seemed to welcome us transient campers. We would stay again. Although we did not use the Restrooms and Showers were clean. This Park offers many amenities including a pool, clubhouse, boat dock and launch. Interesting History within this park with the Bear Cave and the Tulip Tree. It is close to the Redbud Moto Cross track, Fernwood Botanical Gardens(which offers hiking), in the heart of West Michigan’s Wine Country, Warren Dunes(Lake Michigan), Silver Beach(St. Joseph) swimming, dining, and shopping.

Very clean and very nice. It was quite busy, but only saw a few people on the trails. Which if you're hiking, make sure you're prepared. It's s different element hiking in the sand, every two steps forward is one step back. But the views are so so worth it. Lake Michigan is amazing, and you can see Chicago's city line in the distance.
