      Pokagon State Park Campground

      Simple stop

      We used Pokagon State Park as a two-night stopover on our way home from Northern Michigan, and overall, it was a good option for a short stay.

      We stayed in Site 109, which was tucked away and felt fairly isolated from the rest of the campground. In early spring or late fall, I imagine the site would have a nice view of the lake, but in August the tree cover was too thick to see much of it.

      The gravel pad was reasonably level, but we needed a couple inches of leveling blocks to get the RV sitting flat. There wasn’t really much of a grassy area at the site for the dogs, but we were able to walk them easily just down the road.

      We brought our bicycles, which was a great way to explore the park. We rode around to the nature center, equestrian facility, and beach, and enjoyed being able to see more of the park without having to drive everywhere.

      One thing that surprised us was the single dump station for the entire campground. Since none of the sites have full hookups, I would imagine the line could get ridiculously long after a busy weekend.

      Overall, we’d stay here again, but probably only as a one- or two-night layover rather than a longer destination stay. Site 109 worked well for us because of its privacy and quiet location.

      Pokagon State Park Campground

      Lots to Do

      A very large campground with lots to do. Spacious site. Charges a vehicle fee along with campground fee. Sites in loop 1 are gravel and mostly not level. Lots of noise from motor boats on the lake during the day.

      Elkhart Campground

      Decent Campground - Great for Rallys

      We have camped every summer here for years for an annual rally that is hosted here

      It’s great that we have the air conditioned rally room that our group rents for all our events and space to spend with group if it’s rainy or hot

      There is a differnt experience in park depending on where you stay - if your in full sun open area in summer it’s miserable but if your in the wooded area it’s much nicer

      The bathrooms are not the best - they are outdated but have hot water and work great - I prefer the bathhouse by the wooded area over the one in the big building - showers are nicer

      The lots are clean and hook ups all work great

      Pool is showing it’s age but still clean and kids love to swim in it

      Indian Springs Campground

      Horrible!!

      Kindness goes a long way. The “security” here is horrible! There is no need to scream at people and be rude.

      Hildebrandt Campground — Warren Dunes State Park

      Safe and clean, but loud

      I stayed here for one night solo tent camping. Overall the campground was in really good shape, lots of sand, and the vault toilets are clean. However, the campground is really close to the highway. Other reviews mentioned this, but I’m a heavy sleeper so I thought I would be ok. I was not. Bring noise canceling headphones or ear plugs if you’re tent camping here.

      Also, I stayed in 208, and there is space for a hammock!. It was quite close to the campsite 207, so if you’re planning a group trip and you are all tent camping. 206, 207, and 208 would be great for a big group.

      Dune Lake Campground

      Great little campground

      Lots of wooded lots, little lake for kiddos to play in and a small playground. most sites are easy to pull into, the tall trees stop most of the wind. Mosquitos can be bad at times recommended a bug tent. Small Lake Michigan beach within a quick drive about 5-10 min. U- pick them blueberry patch’s are around when in season. Overall great stay and a good place just to relax and unwind.
