Basic parking space with hook-up for overnight. No frills but nice low price. This is 2nd stay here and would stay again. - Tireman9

Very good value with Passport America. This is our second stay here. Makes a good base for seeing the area. Michigan City is a short drive away and the Indiana Dunes NL are a bit further. We had a 30 FHU on a slab not quite large enough for us. Very good TV reception with bat-wing and Verizon broadband connected at 4G. - Bob and Inga

Stayed here as an overnight, we did not unhook from the truck as this was simply a pitstop. I would not recommend this campground as anything else. There are hookups and not much else, but it is convenient as it's right off of the highway. If noise is an issue for you, this park is not for you. We had our air on, so it did not bother us. The dog in the previous posts is a bit of a pest, even for dog lovers. He jumped up on me right away, and follow us to the site. As I travel with two large dogs, this was an issue. I could not let them out until I chased him away. Very basic, convenient, no frills park. We would stay again, for a quick in and out overnight only. - dustwanderlust

We stayed overnight at this campground while driving through Indiana. We stayed on a Saturday night and it was quite busy. There seemed to be people, cars, and campers everywhere. The pull-thru was fine for the night, but too close in proximity for longer than that. They have other sites that are more spacious. This is not a quiet get-away type of place. It is more suitable for hanging out with friends and letting the kids play. - threeunderfour

Almost full of seasonal campers. Front loop where we stayed mostly under water due to heavy rain when we arrived though most of it did go down when the rain stopped.

Campers staying only 1 or 2 nights are not a priority, squeezed in between seasonal spots and most likely will not get the site you are expecting. This happened to another guest as well. Both of us received "oh well" attitudes with no apology from staff.

Not a well kept campground.

Family of 4 with dog stayed one night. I think its the only full hook up campground in the area. Would not stay here again if avoidable. - amyjohomemaker

This has to be one of the worst compound we have been at. The bath house was a real dump, sinks out of order, showers didn't work and the ones that did just barely. The staff not too friendly. The site they gave us barely fit my 23 foot travel trailer. Don't waste your money on this place!! - snoopy216

Looks from the outside are deceiving. Our first camp site was way in the back of park on a muddy VERY SMALL lot. Asked to be moved to a other lot, no problem. Ordered firewood from them that was so wet it wouldn't light. Tried hooking up TV but we needed a more powerful antenna. No restrooms or showers.

The name "mini" is exactly what you'll get.

Staff was very accommodating, but WILL NEVER GO BACK!!!! - Cookie hunnicutt

Since our visit last year, the place is under new ownership and new management. We did notice one improvement, the pot holes in the gravel roads have been fixed. Another camper said the pool area also had improvement, but we didn't go to the pool area. The noise level has increased ten-fold. Even management ignores the 11pm quiet hour. While we were there they were catering to a lot of construction type workers that come and go at all hours, driving loud motorcycles. Still only one bath/shower/laundry facility for an 80 acre park. Only 2 washers and 2 dryers. We will not return to this park again. - esta34950

We stayed here while visiting family in the area. The park is easy to enter from Hwy 2. Owners and staff are helpful and friendly. The park itself is full of long term units many of which are quite run down. Trees are badly in need of trimming to allow passing under without contact. We were led to our site, ME-17, down a very rough, pot holed road and backed in on some gravel, mostly grass. It was quiet. Rain was predicted the second night and we planned to leave very early so asked to be moved up the hill and in to a pull through which they were able to accommodate. While at one time this was probably a very nice park it is in need of some major updating and maintenance. Except for the fact there are few options, we would not stay here again. We stayed in a motorhome. - prius10

NPS campground with hot showers. A real bonus for dry camping. Sites perfect for our 27 ft mh. Level, not sure big rigs would fit. Great shade on a hot day. 1.5 miles to Lake Michigan, good bike ride. - USA16RVer

Okay if you want dry camping this is your campground. No hook-ups. There are only a few sites that can accomodate a large rig. 40' would be about the longest you could do. We have a 38' with a tow. Our site was nice and well spaced out. Bugs were bad. We stayed over the weekend and everal families brought barking dogs. Camp security was there and did kick some people out for noise, drinking, etc. Our stay was good and we enjoyed trying out our solar and being self-contained for awhile. - RVing Along

This is a Indiana Dunes National Park campground, just east of Dunes State Park. Not on the beach, but all of them are only a short drive. Large, private, shady sites, 53 drive-in, all paved with some pull-throughs. 25 tent sites. Picnic tables and fire rings. Dry camping at its best. Restrooms, hot showers, camp sinks with hot water. Dump station and fresh water available. Open late April to late October. Our third time here. Only drawback is moderate train/traffic noise. We love it! Located on US Highway 12 and Broadway in Beverly Shores, IN. - catsinacan23FB

Indiana Dunes State Park was full so I ended up staying here. I was under a tree and the site was fairly level. The owner said the hiking trails were closed due to limbs being down & the pool was closed because of recent treatment with chemicals. I didn't use the facilities because I was alone and a little spooked by the obviously lived-in trailers that were very unkempt. Not all of them were that way, but at least three were a mess. It's obvious they're trying because they've built new cabins and new bath houses, but why put your money into that if you're going to leave all the construction rubble behind? The owner told me to look for my own site and if the electric box says OK, it works. Well, I looked and there were no signs anywhere. Fortunately, a worker came around and he tested it for me. Sure enough, dead. So, he tested another and that one was fine. There's a playground for the kids and a pool but it wasn't open. All in all I wouldn't say it was a bad visit but I sure didn't want to stay another day or night. I wouldn't recommend it. - Givmeabr8k

Stopped here for a night. It is about 3 miles off the interstate driving through a neighborhood and cornfields. The turn into the campground is a bit tight for a big rig. The sign is old and advertised a religious camp. The office is sparse, only a desk and a few things for sale. The person in the office was Asian and did not speak much English. He did not ask how big our rig was, just said he had water and electric available. We told him we were over 40ft with our tow vehicle so he gave us a grass site with water and electric. The site was only 20 amp so we asked for another which was 30amp. The electric quit working after about an hour and the office was closed, so we had no power which was hard on our dog. The restrooms were ok. We would not stay here again. - mohocamper

This campground is much improved this year. Totally new rest rooms and showers that are very nice. They are tiled. They just needed to be cleaned more often. A new pool was under construction not sure when it will it will be done so call first if this is important. Very roomy sites with some shade. I would stay here again. - Iowaonegalippe

We have camped here every year for almost 20 years and always have a great time. Nice large sites, we'll maintained. Easy walk, bike ride or drive to the beach. Great hiking trails. Nature center always worth a stop. Very busy during summer, always full, so make reservations early on their website, 6 months out. Probably would rate a 10 but no water or sewer hook-ups, which is kind of a hassle. Other than that this is a great state park to spend a week or two. - lc47

We were very pleased that the park had a vacancy or a relatively short notice trip. The park was nice, with plenty of space and nice, flat, concrete pads. If you want to stay outdoors while camping, this state park is very good, with a couple of play areas for young ones, some good hiking trails (the three dune challenge was a good hike on it's own), and very close proximity to the beach, even though the water was quite chilly!

If you like any of your indoor amenities, you will be lacking a bit. We were unable to acquire any TV channels, and there was no WiFi. For us, this really wasn't a problem, we enjoyed being outdoors.

The shower house was mostly clean, but there was some standing water, so be sure to bring shower shoes. The toilets were kept clean with no issues that I experienced.

My only real complaint was that there were no markers to help you back into the park. There was some construction being done on the roads, and they closed traffic on the main entrance into the park. We spent nearly 45 minutes looking for access back to the campsite, and had to call the DNR for directions. This may not be the fault of the State Park, but some signs or a heads up would have been helpful.

Otherwise, we really enjoyed our stay here, and we would stay again should we be in the area! - joshnichols84

Sites are spaced out but the weekend was crowded. There was no water at the site, water spigot didn't take a hose nib so there was no way to fill.

The walk to the Dunes was terrific and the old art deco building at the beach was pretty.

We would stay again, just be better prepared. - Jlcamper

This is a mobile home park. It has paved roads, concrete level spaces, concrete pad, no picnic table or fire ring. Very quiet and the staff is the most helpful of any place we have been. A lot of run down mobile homes, but the people living there are very respectful. Our 3rd year there and we will visit again. The rate was a weekly one with additional electric included. There is a train close by, but it is not very noticible. - esta34950

Our rate of $104.00 plus metered electric of $25.00 was based on a their weekly rate for a total weekly cost of $129.00.
This is an older well shaded mobile home park, that is reasonably well kept, and was safe and secure for us.They have several sites set aside for RV sites mixed in with existing mobile homes. We have been there twice now, and have enjoyed our stay, with all neighbors being very friendly.
This is probably the best location for access to Chicago, as the South Shore Ogden Dunes station is just 3 miles away. Cost to downtown Chicago is $8.00 each way, and 1 hour 10 minutes train time, and very inexpensive.
We have a small dog, and the office assisted us finding a pet sitter while we traveled to Chicago all day.
This is a nice safe place to stay while in the Chicago area. We drove through Jellystone Park, just down the road, and kept on driving, overjoyed to find this unknown secret! - AlaskaJack

Simple overnight stay. Arrived late but evening superintendent waited for us and took us directly to a reasonable site. Offered to help with hook-ups etc. They only have 50A service and he offered to get an adapter but I said I could just use the 110 as I didn't want to dig out my adapter. Just wanted to get to bed. Site was level on concrete pad. Would not be my first choice in the area but my normal "Quick Nite stay" in La Porte was full. Would stay again if just needed place to stay.

Would suggest that large trailers or Class=A motorhomes not stay as streets were narrow. It was OK for out 25' Class-C.

Might be reasonable if you were going to Chicago and could take Metro from Gary station 7 mi away. - Tireman9

Rate does not include $9 park entry fee for non residents Beautiful park. Sites well spaced in some loops, closer in others. Lots of places to explore in the park by a network of well marked walking and bicycling trails(both paved and mountain bike) A bit of a drive to get out of the campground to explore other attractions in the area. Mosquitoes were bad. - Darleen

Hard to get in this park on the weekends but during the week its very quiet. The park has a nice swimming beach . canoe, row , paddle and kayak rentals, Bike and walking trails. Very spacious on most of the sites , roads are all paved. - Steph and Jim

Big, beautiful park with plenty of space. Stayed during busy weekend and had the worst site due to slope. They acknowledged it needed to be fixed. Excellent place to camp, however. - MyVoice

Stayed 3 nights. Found that things have improved greatly since our stay 2 years ago. Electric and water were very good (we use a surge protector and a water pressure regulator). The new owners are working very hard to improve this Campground and their efforts are appreciated. Will stay here again. - loneranger

New owners as of April 2014. By their own admission, they were unaware of how to run a campground but are open to suggestions. We stayed 3 nights to visit friends in nearby Culver so didn't use any facilities. From the road it looks like a lovely park but many of the sites haven't been used in months. No gravel or concrete pads, tables, etc. Pool was being redone so not usable. Roads not well marked and office is hard to find. Felt the $30 + tax very high for what we received. Will check out other options when next in the area. - KarenK

Beautiful campground, U-shaped lake, lots of grass and tall trees for shade, but not a problem with low branches. Sites are roomy, picnic tables on concrete pad. Easy access off Hwy 30. Sites close to highway have traffic noise, but did not bother us. Small camp store, pool tables, big screen TV, paddle boats, some fire rings, firewood available. Good restaurants less than 20 miles. Great owners that are working on the place. 50 amp service not sufficient for big rigs. We enjoyed our stay very much. - User1392

Nice location for this part of Michigan. Friends came out from Chicago to visit. Fairly level gravel site, good utilities, very nice folks. Free entertainment provided by folks getting stuck parking their 5th wheel for the summer. We had to leave our toad at the main office. Sites are very close, so the way out was exciting until we made our turn. We would stay here again as long as we get the same site - others appeared too short or narrow (trees) for our rig (43 ft). - Frances and Sparky

We were just here overnight and it was OK except for the price. $25 would have been a fair rate but we were running out of day and needed to stop for the night so we bit the bullet. Gravel sites 98% full with long term rigs. Voltage was good, but water pressure was only fair. It was convenient for our route. We might stay here again if we happen to be passing through. - zrxh14

This park is nice and clean. It says its across the street from the dunes; yes, they are but it's about a 3 to 4 mile walk to the dunes. If you bring a bike of car you will be OK. The owners of the park were very nice and helpful. They did have a playground but if you have kids like mine 15 and 11 playground was for little kids. They do have a pond but no swimming of fishing, just to look at. This is a nice campground for just relaxing, but it has no extras. We would not camp here due to how far the walk to beach is and no extras for older kids. - rv1
