Nice campground. We only stayed overnight so did not use the pool. It was a nice place to stop for overnight.

Stayed here for a few days. Decent amenities, really expensive for what you get. Water pressure is near 30 psi bug bumps up occasionally. They do have FHU though. Wi-Fi is included though the heavily emphasis it’s just for checking emails and going online, not streaming. Cell coverage here is pretty dismal. T-Mobile fluctuates between 1 bar LTE and 1 bar 5G but speeds are under 1mbps down and 0.5mbps up even with a 4x4 MIMO antenna. Verizon is a little better. 5G at ~26mbps down and ~4mbps up. Lots of road noise here too.

We are full timers and we move around a lot, we stayed here for a few days for no particular reason, but we will definitely come back if we are in this area again. Our site was fairly leveled, the water quality good not great. I measure the water quality by how clear the ice comes out of our ice maker, water comes into our coach first through a large sediment filter, then through a water softener and our ice maker has an additional filter, so if the ice doesn't come out at least 50% clear, I don't rate the water quality great. As for the pressure, it averaged 45psi which for our taste is lo. WiFi very spotty and definitely not the fastest we have used at a other RV Parks. I have to say it is a very clean and nice looking RV Park, the pool is super nice and clean and they have ambient music on all day, the water could be a few degrees warmer, it is cold and they advertise as having a heated pool. Don't get me wrong, I only give this place 3 stars because after 6 months on the road and had stayed in about 20 RV parks, State and National Parks, I've become very picky. Every single place we have stayed has room for improvement, so far we have not encounter a 5 star. And something that I didn't like is that the day that we were checking out I called the office to request a late check out and agreed to pay $20.00 to check out no later than 4:00 pm, but I actually left the park at about 4:45 pm and 5 minutes after I left they called me let me know that they were going to charge a full day to my card because I left the park after 4:00 pm, and they did. I personally feel that they could have been a little more flexible after I already had paid the $20.00

This is a pretty little park with a lot of nice green grass and beautiful old growth trees. They have a small pond with a couple funny looking red-headed ducks at the front.

Friendly and helpful staff, level sites - both terraced on the small hill or in the flat area. We were able to get satellite easily. Gravel roads and sites, clean picnic tables, fire ring, nice showerhouse, beautiful swimming pool. Don't know if they have laundry, most likely. Small convenience store, well stocked.

FHU with 50 amp, everything worked great. Good water pressure.

Easy access from Hwy 421. Close to MIchigan City where they have everything.

Note that when you arrive you have to ring the office from the gate to get them to lift it for entrance. So don't arrive after hours. Once you're checked in you receive a card for the gate for easy in and out any time of day or night.

We try to avoid RV parks, and this one looked like rather unimpressive from the images. Wow, our preconceived notions were wrong. This is a fantastic park. Now, we were in the back areas which felt much better to us. The front lot is pretty barren. But our site had nice tress, easy pull-throughs, great hooks and a shared concrete patio with two picnic tables and two firepits. It was great. Then the park got better. They have two ponds for fishing (yes we caught bluegills) and a super impressive pool area. Overall everything was clean, the shop affordable and the people very nice.

Site 46 is a bit small, the neighbors fire was pretty close to our slideout. Sites have a full hookup and overall park was clean. Internet was spotty, making ot hard to telecommute. I might find a different place in the area next time but this park would be great for those with kids. Clean looking pool and a playground with some small ponds on the grounds.

We stayed here for 2 nights. When we arrived, it was so dark. The campground is not lit up at all. Luckily we had a pull through site, which made parking very easy. The campground is mainly pull through sites, which is nice. The sites are not very private, but most have water and electric hook ups, some sites also have sewer. Our site was a level, gravel site with a concrete area for the picnic table and fire pit. Fire pits did not have a grate. The office has a small store with firewood, souvenirs, and other dry goods. The bathroom/shower house was very clean. They have a large in ground pool(we did not use because it was too cold). We thought the campground was clean and well maintained. They provide wi-fi which was nice. There is also a closed gate requiring a key card to enter, which is nice for safety. You can hear some noise from the highway. We stayed here because it was close to Indiana Dunes National Park. We plan to stay here again. I gave the site quality only 4 stars because the lack of privacy.

Campground is well maintained and quiet, but there are a lot of permanent residents and we were placed right next to a cluster of these homes that were a bit run down. The other big downside to this campground is the water is sulfurous and soft, leaving you with that slippery/slimy feeling when you shower. The pool is very nice and laundry is cheap, so there are some positives. Site is close to Indiana Dunes and easy access to the highway. Community is gated and secure.

We stayed at this campground last fall. It's easy access, clean spacious sites and how quiet it is considering it's proximity to S.R. 421 brought us back again. We visited Indiana Dunes National Park and State Park, also jumped on the South Shoreline commuter train that took us into downtown Chicago for a day trip.

We have stayed at this park several times. It is close to Lake Michigan, only 1 hour from Chicago or Elkhart. The owners and staff go out of their way to ensure you have an enjoyable stay. We have stayed in the premium sites and full hook up. Both type of sites work out great in regards to hook ups and etc. There is alot more room in the premium site. The dog park is awesome. Everyone is great about picking up after their dogs. My only concern is the amount of cigeratte butts on the ground through out the campground including the children's park. They do have weekly and monthly rates. WiFi was good for checking emails and etc.
