One of our favorite campgrounds in the Midwest! Spacious, clean and well maintained sites that are located only 1 1/2 miles south of Lake Michigan! The campground hosts were very efficient and attentive to our needs. Located halfway between Chesterton and Michigan City, you have quite a selection of restaurants and bars to choose from. Make reservations well ahead of time -- it fills up fast!

I like Dunewood. Each site has an individual quality to it (it's not a parking lot). There's plenty of space between sites and the forest environment adds additional privacy (a bonus!). I've camped there 3 times and was welcomed and checked in each time by the camp hosts within minutes of arriving. Electricity is not provided, so bring alternative power if you need it. I'm fine in my 16 ft. camper with on-board batteries. They do have flushing toilets and showers that are very clean and serviced every day. There's a nice Visitors Center on IN-49 with lots of info on things to do and explore. You can check their calendar from the website and plan to go when you see something interesting going on. If you want to camp, do your homework and choose a campground that fits the type of camper you are. If you lean towards boondocking and like a more primitive experience, Dunewood is a good place for that. If you like full hookups and extra amenities, then you'd be happier at the Indiana Dunes STATE Park campground (that's within the National Park). And if you choose to camp in the summertime, you've got to expect that Summer + Forests = Mosquitoes. The staff can’t keep the bugs out. Better to go in early Spring or late Fall if you can't protect yourself from them. If tent camping, you may hear traffic at night due to the highways, interstates and train tracks nearby. I've experienced all those negative things, but Dunewood and the area around it is still one of my favorite places for its beauty, the beaches and tropical vibe. And I'll be going back. It all depends on how you see it.

For us Dunewood campground was the place to be. Plenty of woods to give us privacy.

The sites are small and flat without any good options for hammocks, so I do not recommend if you’re trying to hammock camp. The mosquitos were so bad even with bug spray that we ended up leaving and not actually staying the night.

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.
