The host was less than hospitable I would even say grumpy and definitely invasive. I e been camping here for 25 years every year and this was by far the worst experience

We enjoyed the beach right down the road! Close to gas stations, a few towns, stores, and trails. We were able to do laundry at a laundromat about 10 minutes away and get groceries in the same spot. The campground itself was quiet and tucked away, which was nice, and there were nice showers, but the driveways were very small and hard to accommodate our pop-up camper and car, and a little less private than we would have liked. We didn’t have a great experience with the staff either, so we spent most of our time away from camp and only came back to sleep.

The whole campground was very clean! No trash in fire rings or on ground around the campground. Restrooms and showers were also free of trash and although older were kept clean. Beautiful mature trees between campsites with enough space between sites to feel almost private. Staff was very friendly and came to our campsite to introduce themselves and make sure we were checked in and happy with our site. Check in was super easy! Since we reserved our site online all we did for check in was confirm our name and dates reserved. No electric hookups but I brought my power station to recharge my phone and other electronics I had with me. To the volunteers, thank you for all you do to keep our parks beautiful!

As a tent camper, I appreciated a dish washing station, which is rare to find anymore. I also really liked the water fountain and water bottle filler in the campground - very useful!! The sites are large and well-maintained and the couple running check-in were super friendly and knowledgeable.

The park staff were very nice and helpful, and very clear about the campground rules upon check-in. I prefer a campground where people are not blaring stereos all day and night, and they want to ensure a quiet, positive experience for all, which it was. Campsites are large and spread out. Overall, the physical setup of the campground was nice. Only complaint is the showers only had ice cold water!!! With how spread out and urban Indiana Dunes NP is, the campground was fairly centrally located, about a mile from the nearest beach and some trails, and despite how urban the area is, getting back into the campground gave a more rustic feel.

While the campground location was great for accessing the park it had a few issues. 1. It was right near the train tracks so if you’re sleeping in a tent, you hear that all night long and all through the day. The trains do sound their horn whether it’s night or day too.
2. The bathrooms were not clean, especially in the shower area. That was disgusting.
3. And lastly, may not matter, but if you need to stake a tent, the pads were so hard that it made driving the mistakes in difficult.
Pros
1. Great location for Park activities.
2. The host were really nice.
3. The campsite were clean and for the most part other than the trains, the campground was pretty quiet and well shaded.
