Good location to the dunes/lake shore. No water no sewer at sites; concrete pad but terribly out of level; grass way over due for mowing, kept the mosquitoes near. I mistakenly reserved the wrong dates as we are traveling cross country. The office manager would not even speak to me about simply switching dates. She told me to cancel and rebook, to which I fell prey to Indiana's punishing cancellation policy. The so-called Park Rangers do not work for the customers/tax payers in Indiana, they work for the state. Beware. We camped at Indiana Dunes State Park in a Motorhome.

Loved this park. The restrooms/showers were a bit dingy due to continual use throughout the summer; but they are clean. The camp store had ice cream which is always a bonus. Don't think any sites had sewer or water; but there is a dump station and several potable water spigots throughout the camp. We camped at Indiana Dunes State Park in a Motorhome.

Large campground that was completely filled. Best to make reservations several weeks in advance. Sites are concrete pads and are level. Many sites are close together. Our site (#69) offered more space and a little more privacy. Many good walking trails. Bathhouses were clean and the park is well maintained. We camped at Indiana Dunes State Park in a Fifth Wheel.

Nice campground. No water or sewer hookups. Expect lower temps due to the lake winds. Great views when hiking on top of the dunes. We camped at Indiana Dunes State Park in a Motorhome.

This is a fantastic campground situated right on Lake Michigan, easy to navigate with long, level, paved campsites. Good separation from neighbors. We stayed here 9/11 to 9/15. There are many dune trails to hike, although we didn't do any hiking while we were there. We were in site 125 (electric only), but had to run off 30 amp power as our surge protector showed a reverse polarity error when plugged into the 50 amp outlet. We told the maintenance man, who looked at it but wasn't able to fix it while we were there.

The pavilion near the beach was closed for the season, and we heeded the dangerous condition signs posted for no swimming or wading in the lake. Bathrooms were clean, and shower area had a few bugs and no place to hang items (like clothes or a towel), but had good water pressure. There is also a one-time $12 fee for non-residents when entering the campground. Overall a very nice campground and we would stay here again. We camped at Indiana Dunes State Park in a Fifth Wheel.

We arrived on Sunday without reservations because it showed plenty of availability. However, checkout time on Sunday is 5pm so only sites available were ones that had been checked out of. It turned out ok for us just something to be aware of if arriving on Sunday. Paved roads and campsites with electric only. Lots of trees and we weren't able to use our satellite but we did get several OTA stations. Strong Verizon signal for hotspot since there isn't wifi. Plenty of grass for dog walking. Would be a great place for family camping. We would return if in the area. We camped at Indiana Dunes State Park in a Motorhome.

Be aware you will pay a $12 state park visitor fee on top of the camping fee, so the cost of the evening was $44. We used this park for an overnight stay as we were traveling east from Missouri to Detroit. What a great find! Our site #66 was a back in, electric only 50amp. The site was level and we had some privacy due to the size of the lot and the natural vegetation between us and the campers around us. We were there on a Friday, so the campground was quite full. Reservations are a must. We enjoyed hiking across the boardwalk to the shore of Lake Michigan and viewing the Chicago skyline in the distance. There was ample room to leave our truck hooked up to the camper. We would stay here again. We camped at Indiana Dunes State Park in a Fifth Wheel.

Clean but family-filled state park, full on a weekday in mid-summer. Fifty amp connection did not work; was repaired the next day. Neighbor let us use his 50 amp socket. Satellite TV okay. Some space between sites. The namesake dunes are the main attraction. Trails to dunes are more moderate than easy. One hour to downtown Chicago midday, 1 ½ hours return at 4 pm.

Very busy campground so need to make reservations in advance on line only. Will take up to 6 months only. $7.00 in state or $12.00 out of state entrance fee at gate not included in nightly rate. Verizon service good. 60 antenna channels. Town of Chesterton close for grocery shopping - no Walmart or KMart. Camp store has limited food supply.

Rate was $99 for four nights; additionally there was a $5 transaction fee, $7 sales tax, and a one time $12 non-resident entry fee. Actual cost was $30/night. Our site was a back in, paved, 50 amp site. The 50 amp may not have been wired correctly because our external surge guard did not turn on. Water and sewer sites are not available in this park. The site was sloped and required blocks under the front tires. We had good Verizon cell and Internet reception. We had marginal DishTV satellite reception because of the trees. We arrived on Memorial Day when the campground was full. During the remainder of our stay more than half the sites were vacant. We would stay here again.
