Best State Park in Indiana!

    Many are still under the impression this state park turned into a National Park. Untrue! This has been a state park since 1925 & it's beautiful. The most beautiful state park in Indiana IMO. We've camped here before, but not since they completely redid the campsites & put in brand new bath houses sometime in the early 2000s. 

          There's 140 campsites. All with 50 amp. They are typical state park sites, which means yes, your neighbors will be close. The bath houses are nice. I recently walked through the campground on my way back from a hike & I took pictures of what I think are the best sites. I would stay out of the interior sites. They are close to each other& there's no vegetation to shield you. The outer sites are pretty good. Watch for pit toilet & dumpsters though.

  The best site in the campground is site 63. The most private & faces the woods & ravine. Your neighbors aren't as close. 

  Sites 26 & 62 if you have kids. You can watch them from your site in the playground. Site 8, 100 & 113 are the best outer sites.

  The worst site is site 25. Right by the trail to the beach, which gets high foot traffic & is right next to  a pit toilet.

         All of the trails, the beach & the Nature Center can be accessed from the campground. Trail 4s trailhead is actually IN the campground. Of course some walking is involved. 

Enjoy the sunsets & fabulous Lake Michigan! We visited Indiana Dunes State Park, no overnight stay
