Beautiful and well-maintained campground and facilities. Staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Be mindful of the wildlife though, mosquitos in the summer are pretty bad and the raccoons at night can be a menace if food and trash is not properly secured!

Clean, shaded, well kept. Must turn generator off from 10p to 6a! Not widely advertised on reservation site! Close to beaches and dunes. Excellent stay value. Gas station and propane by Marathon close to entrance...really convenient!

The check-in process was easy and the rnager was so kind to engage with my kids as we checked-in. The site itself was wonderful, save the occassional trains and misquitos. Thos are things they cant control. For everything that can be controlled, they did so well. The bathrooms was claen as well as the showers. It is astoundingly close to several beaches with easy access to each. You cant beat the gift shop and convinience stor oppostie the campground entrance. Great place to stay, we will definitely be back.

Newly paved roads & sites were awesome! It was hot but manageable. Mosquitoes were there but if you used spray w/ Deet, they stayed away. Easy 1.5 mi walk, bike ride or drive to the beach.

Beautiful campsites (we had 45 and 46). The sites were flat, well-groomed, and had plenty of space. Plus they were very private. The bathrooms and showers were spacious and we appreciated them being cleaned every day. Also appreciated the station for filling water bottles. There was some noise from train tracks and highways, but mostly in the background and worth it for the location. Also, recommend mosquito repellant, at least in July.

Although it was hot and there were mosquitos during our visit to Dunewood, it made our swim in Lake Michigan that much better! We had a wonderful time and saw so many beautiful native plants and animals, and the firefly light show was amazing. We will be back!

Facilities are extremely nice and the staff if friendly. The one and only concern is the sheer amount of mosquitoes in the area. It created a blanket that prevented you from being outside of your tent. Quite literally the only downside to the place.
