Warren Dunes State Park is 1,900 acres of lakeshore paradise

Weko Beach Park & Campground offers 900 feet of Lake Michigan shoreline, 43 developed campsites, and six log cabins. The campground has a boardwalk and boat launch, and even offers hay rides for kids (or kids at heart). Weko Beach stretches right into Warren Dunes, so you will be right next to all of the activities the park has to offer. In the summer, the beach hosts live music performances near the snack bar. The park only takes reservations for their cabins, so make sure to get there early, and plan accordingly if you’re visiting during a weekend—you must stay a minimum of two nights.

The quaint white and orange building located right near Warren Dunes, Mikey’s Drive In is a great place to grab some grub after a long day of adventures. Whether you order a frosted mug of ice-cold root beer, a juicy burger, or crispy fries, you’ll surely hate to see your meal come to an end! The restaurant allows you to either order from your car and get your food delivered by a carhop, or to have a more traditional sit-down dinner in the dining room. Make sure to save room for a slice of delectable, homemade pie after your meal!

Owned and operated by the same family for more than 30 years, the Grand Mere Inn is a great place to get a fancy dinner during your trip. The food is all locally sourced and features items from local wineries and breweries, local cheeses, and even farm-fresh fruits and vegetables. And that view! The cottage-style dining room is located on Covert Ridge, overlooking Lake Michigan, so get ready to see the beautiful sunset over the lake. On clear nights you can even see the lights of Chicago!
