This was our second time to stay at Dunewood Campground, and I'm sure we'll be back. There don't seem to be a lot of camping options around the south shore, and this campground is close enough to let us get to the beach, a Railcats ball game, etc., and the price is right! The campground itself is not spectacularly beautiful as the oak forest's ground cover just looks like a lot of weeds, including quite a bit of poison ivy. However there is a shower house in the Mather loop (not sure about the other loop) and staff are super friendly. You can buy firewood from a vendor just outside the campground, you may get rather large pieces of oak so I'd recommend bringing a splitting maul to get the pieces down to size for your campfire. (I could barely split some of the knotty pieces with my hatchet.) Also, get your reservations in early as this place fills up!

Great location, very well kept, clean bathrooms and nice showers. Amazing little campground.

Beautiful campground. The camp hosts were friendly. I asked about where to see Lake Michigan. They gave me simple clear directions and warned us not to park in the city parking there to avoid a ticket. The restrooms were clean. Glad we stayed there.

There were very few other campers besides my wife and I. In the middle of the night in the campsite near us, the woman was screaming for hours. It was very scary and we felt very vulnerable and didn't know what to do.

Nice, clean, quiet, can't ask for more!

Campground bathroom and shower facilities are nice and kept clean. Campsites are large and nicely spaced. There are areas of stagnant water standing in the campground and a huge mosquito population as a result. Mosquitoes are expected, this was out of control. The train goes by at least hourly and repeatedly sounds its horn at the intersection each time. Between this and the road noise the campground is "unsleepable." I left rather than stay a second night.

I only spent one night here while on a Nebraska-to-Connecticut road trip, but the proximity to and accessibility from the interstate are big pluses. I also found the rates to be pleasantly affordable—never a bad thing. I would definitely stay again.
