Dunewood Campground

The campground was nice, clean, and accessible. The hot water, water bottle fill stations, and campers sink for dishes were a huge perk!! The park rangers were kind, friendly, and accommodating. The national park itself is very spread out making it difficult to navigate between hikes, the beach, and landmarks.

Could not be happier with the beautiful campsites and wonderful facilities. The grounds are well maintained and great for tent camping. Restrooms and showers were some of the best we've come across. We came with our dog and loved our day at the beach, as well as our hike through the dunes. There is so much more to see than we even knew and definitely more than we could get to in one weekend. We can't wait to come back!

Very clean, quiet, and family friendly. Short walk to Lake Michigan.

Very quiet. Beautiful setting.

Great campground. Newly paved roads, paved area for our 17' Alto camper. Close to everything. Friendly staff and helpful. Bring your national park pass. Mosquitos were fierce. The ranger at check in was very knowledgeable about trails and all aspects of the area.

Nice campground with paved sites. It was king of swampy, but that's because of the big storm that went through. Our site did not have electric, but we didn't really need it. We had a Vorizon connection there, so that was helpful. A lot of Nat'l Parks are in no cell zones.
The park people were very nice & swimming in Lake Michigan was fun & surprisingly warm.

Very clean and quiet

People are in and out of the campground late afternoon to early morning, nearly each day. Most campers seem to be mostly overnight. That makes for a very quiet day, when remaining on my campsite. The evenings are basically quiet, too. It is a buggy place with all the marshes and bogs, which I expected, but Mather Loop has a "bog" right in the middle which makes it more so. I also stayed in the Douglas Loop, so to compare, it was less buggy, but busier with campers remaining for several nights or a week. The volunteers and rangers are all friendly and helpful, although the Douglas camp host looked at me like I was disturbing him when I approached the site for help with something. Once he actually LISTENED to what I was saying, he did offer good advice but I got the impression I was a bother. I'm a camp host in my state's parks and a national park volunteer ranger so that I have a problem with camp hosts who act put out when doing what they are getting a free site to do. The bathhouse and restrooms are clean and remain clean depending on who is using it. The person who diligently cleans the bathhouse does a fantastic job and not camper's housekeeper. It will remain clean if people respect that work. Only once was it unkept. . . because of campers. Several nights I heard what seemed like firecrackers late at night which are forbidden. It is a noisy place, close to the road and railroad. That didn't bother me, but it isn't transportation quiet. I staying on several sites, piecing my 14 day stay and some sites are better than others. Some are shady and some are sunny. All provide some level of shade, but if you need to charge with a solar panel, some sites don't provide that. I just took my small station to the bathhouse and read while it charged each morning. There are wild turkeys, with chicks, walking through the campground each evening. Too cute.

Wonderful large level sites and good modern facilities with hot showers. One of my favorite camp sites.
