Dunewood Campground

Enjoyed Kemil beach and the Marsh and Cowles Bog trail. The campground staff was friendly and helpful.

The campsite was clean and fit the description. The campground was quiet and calm (except for traffic and train, of course!). Overall, it was very pleasant. Restrooms were clean. (More feedback in the next section)
Two somewhat unfortunate things--my picnic table was moved far to the side right near the next camper's picnic table. It was too heavy for me to move away for more privacy. Someone likely two sites down (in number) had literal floodlights shining on their complex of tables where they were working until 11 pm. It was like a TV studio in brightness. This illuminated my campsite, when I was looking to enjoy the darkness. I'd call it light pollution. Host said there is no rule against too much light. I think there should be. The idea of "camping" seems to be disappearing, in favor of bringing complete RV homes with outdoor lighting, inside air conditioners, etc. Already electrification has been installed most places. Parks are giving in to the people who fear nature, simplicity, and even short-term departure from everyday life and conveniences. There's little "camping" left. This is quite a loss. I know the pandemic brought people into the RV world, but it's time to teach camping and outdoor skills again, and to give some priority to actual campers who want to see the night sky and hear animal sounds at night. I also suggest incorporating alternatives to individual campfires, like community campfire circles, and the use of light-colored vigil candles on the table, which in a small group make a lovely and even romantic light at night. We've got to prepare people for the climate changes that are here and are looming.

We've been camping at Dunewood for 8 years! We pick the same site every year because we know it will be great! We feel safe, the facilities are very clean, and the campground's layout is perfect! We also love having the general store and restaurant within walking distance.

We love camping here! The sites are always clean and well prepared for setting up right away. While the other sites are somewhat close by, they are far enough apart that we never hear other conversations at night. There are no spots with water or electric, but each circle of sites has a restroom building with private stalls and showers, as well as dishwashing stations, so cleaning up is easy :). The Lake Michigan beach is a short drive away, as well as numerous hiking trails.

Staff was VERY friendly. Sites were nice, just a little buggy.

Quiet, clean, and easy to get to.

Great place to camp. Dunewood is a very clean campground with exceptionally helpful staff.

Love Dunewood campground

The campground is well maintained and I truly believe there isn’t a bad camping spot in the entire campground!
I had such a great time. I will definitely be back!

nice large campsite with other campers spaced for away
