Did not like this campground at all. It was very dusty, dirty and kids roaming at all hours of the night. There was no host for the campground which always makes me a little uncomfortable. The bathrooms left a lot to be desired. The dunes were really nice, and we may visit them again but would find a different campground. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
The only thing good about the Warren Dunes Campground is the location in Warren Dunes State Park. We had to pay a daily entrance fee on top of the camping fee so it ended up costing and extra $23 on top of the $25/day fee. The roads are dirt, not paved and full of large potholes. The sites are small, sandy dirt or gravel some had grass. If I had a trailer larger than 22 feet I would not plan to stay here, too difficult to navigate. Our site was infested with poison Ivy... There was a site by the bathroom that appeared to have nests of hornets in the ground, several of them. We had a good location near the only bathroom/shower house in the loop, and there are not enough facilities for the size of the campground. You always had to wait in line for the very dirty showers. I expected everything to be sandy because of the dunes but this was not just sand, it was dirty and they didn't clean them nearly enough. We arrived on Saturday and stayed till Monday; I was awaken about 4am Monday morning to the sound of trucks from nearby I-94, Monday morning rush hour...I didn't hear it at all the first night so it must be a weekday phenomenon. It's a very smoky campground, it was mostly tenters and there wasn't a breeze so the smoke stayed in the campground. The benefit of this place is the dunes/beach located in the park, it was fabulous. Nice beach, fun to swim in Lake Michigan. Nice shop/concessions, and the kids loved to hike to the top of the dune. But I truly felt the campground left a lot to be desired. If I returned it would simply be day use of the Dunes/Beach. The location is convenient to the Chicago area tho; only took about 1 1/2 hours to get there. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.
Very crowded on weekends, mostly tents. The tents had fires all night which made the place very smoky and smelly. The campground is very close to the beach, though. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.
