First time visiting Dune Lake Campground. Absolutely loved it! Great tent and popup sites. Owners so friendly and welcoming. Will definitely come here again. So close to Lake Michigan beaches, wineries and orchards. Which we did peach picking.

Dune lake is very quiet, shady, has picnic tables. Water and 2 electric outlets were available for our tent camping site. Bathrooms leave much to be desired. Small playground, small lake. Near a sand dune preserve. This is not a hotel, so can't answer those questions. It's a small campground, no on-site management. You can order firewood, and it is very quiet. Most of the sites are shady, and... Dune lake is very quiet, shady, has picnic tables. Water and 2 electric outlets were available for our tent camping site. Bathrooms leave much to be desired.

My family and I had so much fun here! The kids absolutely LOVED swimming in the crystal clear lake. The water was surprisingly much warmer than I expected. The entire campground was immaculately clean and well cared for. The bathrooms & showers were unbelievably clean!! The owner was EXTREMELY friendly, helpful! We cannot wait to come back to this little slice of heaven.

We really enjoyed staying here. Kids loved walking the Dunes and playing the mini golf. Bathrooms were clean, hot showers and good water pressure. Only complaint was at the primitive campsites there were many stumps that could be tripped on. Very friendly staff and easy check in/check out process. It was a great little two day get away.

For all intents and purposes this would be a fairly pleasant campground. However, when it comes to the available public restrooms, if you're a larger person, or have other physical limitations that make moving around difficult, then I can't recommend camping here. There are no handicap accessible stalls, no ramps, and the regular stalls and the shower stalls are very, very, cramped. Everything el... For all intents and purposes this would be a fairly pleasant campground.

There are no handicap accessible stalls, no ramps, and the regular stalls and the shower stalls are very, very, cramped. Everything else was perfectly fine though. I'd recommend it fine for your average family. The park itself is beautiful, well kept, and the staff are friendly. One last note, If you camp in the cabins, I would suggest bringing additional padding of some sort for the beds. The mattresses are probably fine for most, but could be considered a bit stiff / thin for others.
