Dunewood Campground

I've been to Dunewood a few times before this review. Once with friends and a couple of times solo camping with my dog. It's a great getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. The spots are fairly close together, but once the leaves fill out in late Spring they provide some shelter. There are modern showers and bathrooms for convenience. It's not a glamorous location, but about a mile away is Lake Michigan and the Beverly Shores beach which is dog friendly and super pretty. I recommend this spot for a night or two away from the city or if you're traveling and need a place to stay. Indiana Dunes is not far and is a great place for hiking.

We stayed here on 7/26/17
Nicely laid out campground with plenty of trees and nice flat picnic areas in between small forested hills. You can walk to the little convenience store located at the entrance of the park. There is a train station as well that I believe gets you into Chicago.

If you feel like going for a hike it's about 30 minutes to the beach down the neighborhood street, and it is much less crowded than the state park where people can drive much closer.

Plenty of hikes to drive to along the shoreline.

Great place. We used only the walk-in camping site, which I highly recommend unless you have a camper or trailer. Walking distance to beautiful beaches along Lake Michigan. Great biking area, too. 1.5 hours from Chicago but a lovely place with nice people all around

You will need a bike to get anywhere, such as the nearby beach, which is really pleasant and not overcrowded due to lack of public access by car! The best soft serve ice cream 🍦 is at the gas station near the entrance to the park!
