A large electric only campground at a nice state park. Within a walking distance from the National Park and from a Lake Michigan beach. Spacious paved sites, not quite leveled, with fire rings and picnic tables. A playground, a large clean and well stocked bathhouse. A water filling station just past the entrance, and a dump station just across the street from exit. Overall, a nice place to stay f... A large electric only campground at a nice state park. Within a walking distance from the National Park and from a Lake Michigan beach. Spacious paved sites, not quite leveled, with fire rings and picnic tables. A playground, a large clean and well stocked bathhouse. A water filling station just past the entrance, and a dump station just across the street from exit. Overall, a nice place to stay for as long as you can handle the lack of water and sewage.

The lake and dunes are spectacular and live up to the hype. The 3 dune challenge is not really a challenge if you are moderately healthy but it is fun and scenic! The cool soft sand feels fantastic, definitely best hiked barefoot. The campground itself is pretty typical of a state park- decent spacing, level sites and well kept.

The campground itself is pretty typical of a state park- decent spacing, level sites and well kept. It is electric only but that didn't really bother us- we just showed up with the water tank full and other tanks empty and enjoyed ourselves. Our site was right between the playground and beach trailhead, but still private. The best sites are the ones on the outside from the beach trail to the nature center. These are up against the dunes and have some shade. The middle sites are more exposed and much less private. The campground was pretty full but had a nice communal family feel to it. The beach and dunes are the star of this show, but the campground is a good supporting actor.

Indiana Dunes State Park Campground was very nice. You sit amongst the trees and nature with easy access to Lake Michigan beach, hiking trails, the dunes, and a nature center.

You sit amongst the trees and nature with easy access to Lake Michigan beach, hiking trails, the dunes, and a nature center. Electric only sites with relatively easy access to potable water filling stations and a dump station. Everything was nicely paved with large "comfort stations" (bath houses) dispersed throughout. Nice little camp store was open later than I had expected. Check in line was slow, but worth it for the location. Some sites were badly sloped, short, or difficult for large rigs to back into. We didn't have any trouble getting into our site with a 35' fifth wheel. There was enough room to disconnect and park our truck in the site. All in all, it was an extremely positive experience and we would love to go back!

Site 26e We chose a site that was very nice behind us was tree cover and we weren’t too close to other sites. The site itself was level which made parking, setting up, and hooking up the electric easy. Parking our 30 foot trailer was no problem however we did notice that there were other sites where pulling in and out might’ve been more challenging. The facilities were really well-maintained....

The bathrooms were very clean. The showers were also well-maintained. The campground is close to Indiana dunes with .5-.6 mile trails leading to the beach area.
