Michigan City Camping/4min to Beach
Come prepared and have a good time!
It was nice property to camp at. Lot's to do around the area, so we were never really bored. At the site there was a garbage, picnic table and some fire maintenance equipment when we got, which was nice. It definitely by a still body of water, so the bugs were pretty bad, and the sound of trains and cars may wake you up in the morning, but there's really nothing you can do about that. If you go into it knowing these things and prepare for them, you'll be fine!

Not great.
I should have listened to the other reviews.... but I didn't. This place has potential, but the bugs are so bad we couldn't spend any time at the campsite. There is a very slimy pond right next to the campsite that seems to be the source of the bugs.
If you have an RV or trailer it's extremely tight to turn around. There is also a ton of shade so our solar panels couldn't charge.
Although I strongly
believe in leaving a place better than I found it, I don't like to pay $100/night to pick up other people's trash, including soggy toilet paper. This actually seems like a health hazard.
If you ignore all the warnings, you may, like us, still have trouble finding the site. The campsite is on the right side of the dirt track, not the left (so don't keep going down the track looking for something on the left!)

Very expensive for what the place is: grubby bench, dirty hammock and extremely noisy (cars, trains and bar somewhere) Too bad!!

Too many mosquitoes
The site looked lovely, but is right next to stagnet water. There were more mosquitoes than I have ever seen. If you opened the car door for a second to get in or out at least 4 would get in. We were warned of them, but it was more than I could handle and we went home without camping.

Damien was great with answering our questions and replying fast. Overall, we were very happy with this site for our 1 night. Though it is near the road and you can hear cars during the day, the noise quited down at night and it is far enough back in the woods that you have a lot of privacy. No other people walking around. I will say, BRING HEAVY DUTY BUG SPRAY and bug candles as there is an enormous amount of mosquitos there! After we covered ourselves with the spray and the tent and made a fire they calmed down but we prob would not stay for a extended time at this site. We loved that it was super close to the beach access which is pretty private vs the main beach and very close to the yummy pizza place called Stop 50, open fri/sat/sun. The brewery that was near by moved locations closer to the downtown area.
