Amenity camping

It offers all the amenities you could want for a weekend get away. A lake with water rentals, floating water slide, playgrounds and sport courts, general store with the stardust’s “convenience mark-ups”,and water/ electric at all sites. However, if you’re looking for a true camping experience or to visit the Indiana Dunes, you’ll make little use of the amenities and find the sites small and area as well the sites and bath houses overcrowded. It really offers anything a family would want for a weekend trip so depending on the goal for your trip, this could have everything you would need or leave you feeling less than fully satisfied.

Keeping it basic (Primitive nonelectric site)

Have to walk to the site but if you want nonelectric/ primitive that’s what you get. Water pump at either side of the entry. Some outhouses available. Trails close as well as fishing areas. Large sites for camping. Deer and wildlife seen in the mornings. Really nice way to get off the grid for a second without having to go too far.

Would definitely stay again

The staff was amazing. Kind and helpful. Very outgoing and able to offer suggestions and advice on the area. Though some may not see it as a perk, being right off the highway allowed us quick access to everywhere we needed to go every morning and was a reason we chose it. Less than an hour from most must-sees in the area. Close to some nice local restaurants and a Walmart to restock supplies. (Also, they do have a small selection of supplies in their office to purchase). A pool and playground for the kids to relax when the vacationing takes a toll and you need a day off. Coin laundry and nice bath facilities. The view of the city in the morning over the hill or the lights at night was really beautiful from our tent site. Would definitely recommend and stay again.
