Nice national park, nice campground, nice site. Site is big and level. Highly recommended.
@AdamK2705815 · Camped on Jun 1, 2025 at Campsite #30
Bathrooms were clean, and they had water fountain, water bottle filler, hot showers AND a camp sink which I have not seen at any NP before. Great experience, will be back!
@NinaHC71950E5A · Camped on May 31, 2025 at Campsite #55
This is such a lovely campsite! Everything is well maintained and everyone is respectful of quiet hours. Super close to all the great views in Indiana Dunes National Park, with the beach a mile away.

Fantastic campground! The camp hosts were so nice and helpful. Very close to beach access on the Lake and easy drives to other parts of the park. There is a pizza food truck near the entrance of the campground which was great (cash only but there is an ATM in the adjacent store). Potable water on site to fill your tanks and there were water bottle fill ups in the campground and through the park. No frills bathrooms but the showers were clean with hot water and good pressure.

A clean well kept campground. I enjoyed the privacy of the walk in site.Close to a beach and an easy drive to West Beach and other places.

Second stay. Always great. Clean restroom and Showers.
@JohnT2915386 · Camped on May 28, 2025 at Campsite #42
Exactly what you look for in a National Park campground. My rating is based on comparing it to other CGs of this type - there are no hookups and the site was only level for a short distance (steepish slopes leading up and down to it). But it was quiet (didn't even hear any generators), well-wooded, and peaceful. The staff at check-in were great - very friendly and helpful. We were opposite the bathhouse, which was well-equipped and clean. The Indiana Dunes NP is all around. The park is fascinating. Walking through woods on sand dunes is a new experience. We ate at Joe and Freddy's just down the road - highly recommended.
@JanetM5224563 · Camped on May 28, 2025 at Campsite #58
My primitive tent site was very quiet and peaceful, in spite of a full campground. The ranger who got me set up was extremely friendly and helpful. Her recommendation to eat at the Goblin and Grocer restaurant near the entrance to the campground was spot on.
@MarkE1725298 · Camped on May 26, 2025 at Campsite #58
Camp site it self was nice, the trains running all night blasting their horns was not
@kenC1322004 · Camped on May 24, 2025 at Campsite #9
Met my sister and her family at Dunewood. Shared a campsite and had plenty of space for 2 tents and 2 vehicles. Bathrooms were above expectations and campsites were spaced out well.
@WISHARTB31B0E1 · Camped on May 23, 2025 at Campsite #6
As always, a very good visit. The park volunteers were helpful.
@MARILUFE134B8F · Camped on May 22, 2025 at Campsite #15
The Handicap accessible site, No.15, on the Mather Loop, while being fully paved, was slanted to one side so much that is was very difficult to get around on. Its close proximity to the shower/toilet building is both a positive and a very annoying negative. From 6am to 10 pm, There is a non stop parade of campers walking by, on paths that are on either side, within 5 to 10 ft of this campsite. So, Keep that in mind if you need ADA compliant accommodations. Also, One of the hosts was a rude and obnoxious "hall Monitor" type that must have been a prison guard at some point and was making sure that every rule was followed exactly and to the minute and second, NO EXCEPTIONS! Judgement and reason were not qualities that were in her personal possession. She seemed to want to do whatever she could to ruin any feeling that you were out and away from regular life and enjoying time with your family out in nature. Perhaps Its my own problem for thinking this way, but going camping means that time is ruled by the sun and the moon and I don't want to use a clock or worry about time until I pack up and leave. 5 Min past 10pm does NOT constitute a gross violation of the rules and my need to operate my wheelchair lift to get into and out my van, is not an affront or challenge to her authority! If you don't want to make any concessions to or for ADA needs people, just don't have us in your campground! This camping experience was hardly any better then camping in a Walmart parking lot and was certainly a lot more expensive. I will never go back there.

Amazing stay
@JohnB8383631 · Camped on May 20, 2025 at Campsite #21
Hosts were awesome and very helpful. Campsites were clean and level, we did not use the washrooms. Dump and fill were easy and convenient. If it had electric I would have given it 5 stars.
@jeffreys172959 · Camped on May 19, 2025 at Campsite #35
Another great stay at Dunewood site 35 Douglas Loop. Grounds were clean, well-maintained, orderly, and patrolled by capable and friendly staff. The restrooms and showers were clean and serviceable as always. In spite of the rain, we were able to enjoy the lakeshore and nearby attractions like Mount Baldy and nearby Chesterton.
@LaurieB8871906 · Camped on May 19, 2025 at Campsite #52
Other than the train, this was a quiet, peaceful stay. As always. Well be back!
@KendraH8370558 · Camped on May 19, 2025 at Campsite #11
Great camp sites and location. The bathrooms and showers were exceptional for a campground!
@BrendaH4470960 · Camped on May 18, 2025 at Campsite #32
Great location to see the park and enjoy amenities of the nearby towns. Hiking trails close by.
@ScottH7806643 · Camped on May 15, 2025 at Campsite #5
We had a great time at the Dunes Campground. The host was very friendly and helpful at check-in. We walked to the beach, which probably is about a 20 minute walk. The campground was well kept and the showers and restrooms were very clean.
@RussellS811673 · Camped on May 15, 2025 at Campsite #43
very nice ,relaxed,quiet outdoor experience , with thoughtful volunteer campground hosts who went out of their way to provide us with information about things to do in the area , and see to our safety in high winds and the dust storm.
@DONALDR8407362 · Camped on May 15, 2025 at Campsite #29
Nice campground with tung Dunes close.
@DanielleS79088 · Camped on May 9, 2025 at Campsite #67
Great camping area! The parking lot wasnt far and had plenty of spaces, bathrooms were clean and well stocked, garbages were easy to find, and space for setting up was plentiful. Very pretty area and while some spaces were closer together, they werent awkwardly close.

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
