Camp sites were clean, generous in size, and spaced well away from each other. Rest rooms were clean and well maintained. Very enjoyable stay, will stay here again.

Excellent campsites, you’re not right next to each other. Only bad part is that they are all reservations only. I’m a local and like to go on a whim once in a while. Instead I have to make reservations ahead of time and hope for good weather. Bring back the days that I could get up on a nice morning and load the car and be there at noon! We’ve been going there since it opened.I’ve been to27 national parks and this campground is one of the best.

As usual .... simple, quiet camping. No frills and unwanted activities. This is how we prefer it. We don't NEED electricity, etc. Very clean campground. Well taken care of.

Dunewood campground is always a wonderful experience. The facilities are always clean and working. I tent-camped in October, and it was nice to have a hot water shower during those days when it was under 40 F at night. The grounds are beautifully laid out, with ample space between camp sites. The campers were all well-behaved. The dunes and Lake Michigan were totally awesome. October is a great month for seeing fall colors, and the combination of brisk fall air and waves on the lake are inspiring. Thank you Dunewood staff for all that you do!

Warm showers, facilities are very well maintained. You need to walk down steps to reach the walk-in campsites. Lake Michigan is nearby, but not necessarily walking distance. The closest shoreline (Lakeside) is rocky without access to the lake. For the best sand/beach experience, drive west of the campground to one of the other beaches in the National Park. The ranger station located inside the visitors bureau on highway 49 is very, very helpful.

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
