This is a very well located campground in the Indiana Dunes, at the entrance is a restaurant, grocery, camping store, and gas station with excellent coffee and breakfast donuts and pastries. Behind the gas station is the Beverly Shores South Shore Station with trains to Chicago and South Bend Airport and all points in-between. Behind the train station is the Calumet Trail a walk and bike trail where you can ride to Chicago or Mt. Baldy and Michigan City and soon to New Buffalo and Michigan. You can walk from the campground to the beach, one mile, passing the Indiana Dunes Great Marsh, the native plant garden in front of the Beverly Shores Administration Building and the many historical building and sites on the way. The campground is full most weekends and you are better staying during the week or reserving campsites at the beginning of the year if you are planning a trip. You will not be disappointed.

I had booked my site for 3 nights and only stayed one ! I've never seen such a lousy National Park campground. I understand the eco stuff, but the overgrowth was so terrible that I knew why they had such a terrible tick and mosquito problem. I turned my generator on for charging my batteries and the people camped next to me hit the alarm horn on their car. There is nothing to see, everything was closed for repair along the Lakeview drive. I made the mistake of booking in the NP instead of the State Park. That must be where you can see the Dunes. There was something in the air that had my nose running and when my throat started to tighten and I could barely swallow, I left!! Dump is the best way to describe this place.

Amy is one of the hardest workers you'll see. Keeps the grounds and the bath house very clean. Appreciate her hard work.
Would be good to stress to people that check in is 12:00. Campers coming earlier than that can be in the way of those leaving.

It would be so nice if you manned your check in location. No one around the whole time we were there. No reservation on the post at our site. I guess if there was a problem I could have found my reservation on my phone?

Overall my wife and I greatly enjoyed our long weekend at Dunewood. The mosquitoes were bad, but that's a given for the area and the time of year. Nothing that some repellent couldn't handle. The campground was quite and peaceful...loved hearing the birds and the trains (I love trains). Campground was convenient to the parks attractions and trails. Convenience store & gas station nearby for the essentials. Campground personnel were courteous and helpful. Only criticism is that the showers could maybe have been cleaned a bit more often, but they were quite serviceable. We plan to return and stay the week next time.
