About this campground
Indiana Dunes State Park offers a camping experience with 140 electric sites, all providing 50 amp service, and a youth tent area. It's nestled in a unique landscape of dunes, forests, and beaches along Lake Michigan's southern shore. The park caters to a wide range of outdoor activities beyond camping, including hiking, swimming, birding, and during winter, cross-country skiing.
What campers say
Indiana Dunes State Park’s electric-only campground is praised for its location near Lake Michigan beaches, dunes and numerous trails, with a small camp store, large bathhouse, playground and nature center access. Campsites are generally paved, spacious and level with decent spacing, though not especially private and some sites require careful maneuvering. Many visitors report clean, well‑maintained facilities; there is a water fill and a nearby dump station. Expect heavy summer use and possible entry delays, plus seasonal restroom limitations in shoulder months. Overall, a convenient base for beach and dune access with predictable tradeoffs.
