Warren Dunes State Park Campground

Nice campground with easy access to dunes and lake, but the nightly fee for a motorhome with electric only (no water) was $60 a night. Quite a bit higher than we would typically go for, but other campgrounds in the area were shut down for the season. The spaces are small but it wasn’t too crowded, bathrooms and showers were very clean.

The grounds were well kept and clean. Even though it was pretty booked when we were there it didn’t feel crowded. Overall pleasant experience.

I’m very familiar with Warren Dunes but this was my first time camping here. Great walks and hikes and the short drive to the beach is a plus. The sites aren’t too private and can fill up quickly. The bathrooms were clean and stocked. I read lots of reviews about the noise from the road and nearby highway and I didn’t think it would bother me, but I was wrong. I wish I had some ear plugs because I had difficulty falling asleep. Overall great place, especially for beginner campers as there is a small onsite store for camp basics. Three stars due to noise and not much privacy.

Stayed for 3 days/2 nights. Place was a little crowded, but once it got dark it was quiet and peaceful. Most spots were fairly out in the open, but we had a nice spot with a few trees hiding us on 3 sides and not too far from water or bathroom trail. Bathrooms were decent and we liked the private showers, warm water!

Overall, great walking paths, hiking and the beach was a great bonus after an afternoon climbing the dunes!

The only major downfall was the price of everything at the little store. $6 for an ice cream sandwich!?! No thanks! However, be sure to visit The Beach Bucket for your ice cream cravings on those hot days!! They also have firewood which burned so much better than what the camp store offered.

Went with my in laws who have a camper (I typically camp rustic). The site we were at was smaller and narrow. There was also a lot of noise from the I-94 freeway nearby while trying to sleep.

While the hiking was good and the beach beautiful, they don’t allow alcohol which is my favorite post hike/beach activity.

Overall I’d do a day trip for the hiking and beach, but stay elsewhere.

While, this state park seems relatively small. The spaces are very big. They have a great little general store. The beach is just down the drive. Mood is mellow and relaxing place. Small con-a little bit of flooding. Despite other reviews online no radiation from the nuclear power plant.

This campground is a place to stay while you visit the huge dunes. Developed sites are very small and close together. Sand/grass pads that are not defined. Undeveloped or tent area was almost empty and bigger but no electric. Cabin area has best sites. Cabins are small. Limited toilets. Public beach was nice...quite a few people. Separate area for dogs to play on the beach. Hike the dunes for a great workout

Small campsites, but great hiking trails. Found lots of pawpaw fruit and loved playing on the beach after a nice hike. Lots of road noise at night and the sites aren’t very private.

Dunes are gorgeous but honestly I'd rather have gone for a day trip and camped elsewhere for the price. Breakers and outlet on the power pole in the site were falling into the box, showers and bathrooms are a bit worn out etc. Campsites are side by side and it was more packed than a Walmart parking lot. Make sure you bring supplies or treats, the "camp store" was charging $9 for a bag of Doritos...

Park was packed going into the weekend was fully booked. Very standard park with electric only on out site. The beach is the big draw and super fun for the family with food trucks and big ole sand dunes to climb!

I stayed August 15th-18th, 2023. We were in Hildebrandt campsite 210. Very spacious, respectful neighbors, and the pit toilets were not atrocious, maybe just slightly smelly at times. Overall worth the time and trip.

This is our second time visiting this campground coming from Iowa. We love it! Super close to the beach about 2 miles from the campground, HOT showers, very clean bathrooms, spacious campsites. Warren dunes beach is so pretty and it’s one of our favs.

Clean. Friendly Atmosphere! Overall the best I’ve been in a long time. 

Quick getaway from Indy to put your toes in the sand. Easy access to trails and beach. Enjoyed the taco and ice cream trucks as well as kayaks. Enjoyed seeing the wild turkeys.

Amazing views from the afternoon and the tops of the hills great for picnics with family and friends

We stayed for two nights and enjoyed it. It cost $45 per night plus $10 for a park pass each day plus a $8 reservation fee, which was way too much for the amenities provided. We enjoyed the nearby trails and having modern stores nearby. You will hear the highway at night. There is a lot of poison ivy along the woods, so be careful!

We arrived at Warren Dunes a little after check in and immediately noticed how tight some of the spots are and the bugs were terrible! This was the first campground we really didn't spend much time around the fire. The sites are a considerable size but can be hard to maneuver without annoying other campers. The park itself was pretty nice. The dog beach was a nice touch, if people actually picked up after their dogs, it could be much better. There are food trucks that come down to the beach for some really good food. Climbing the dunes is pretty cool, do it in the morning or late afternoon to beat the heat. Remember to bring bug spray in July and August.

My partner and I stayed at this campground overnight, and we loved it! Showers and bathrooms were clean and easy to find/access. We’ll be visiting again :)

The dull roar of I-94 traffic was constant at all hours, and the louder/closer traffic of cars speeding down Red Arrow Highway directly behind the campground made even earplugs insufficient to get much sleep. A few sites seemed to have a bit more grass coverage, but the one I stayed at and the majority of others in the Hildebrandt loop were basically just dusty dirt lots. Sites are directly next to each other, no privacy between sites. Trees were scarce at my site, and there was nowhere to hang a hammock.

Dunes worth seeing. Not as dog friendly as one would think. Have dog beach but have yo walk a mile to get to it and must keep dogs on leash. One could easily access beach from parking lot but they do not allow dogs in lot. Sites moderately sized but usually little veg between for privacy. Located in beautiful mature hardwood forest. I would stay again. Showers are busy but fairly clean.

The walk to the beach access is a beautiful one, and the beach is astounding! Pet friendly!

Great park with lots to do, all the MI state park amenities, and natural beauty. However, you can hear the highway traffic from the campgrounds and the sites are pretty open with little privacy from your neighbors.

Camp ground was located off a main road but plenty far to have little noise. The camp is located inside the park so you go into 2 gates but really don't have to wait at the first main park gate outside the first time in. The spots were wide but not deep and the really only bad remark I have is the lack of any stone or gravel. The spots are mostly dirty sand and not real good for keeping dirt out of the camper or leveling the camper. Some gravel would make a world of difference here. The hook up at some sites we're almost on the wrong side of the camper but located in the rear of the site. The showers and bathrooms suffer from the lack of gravel also. Alot of times dirt was tracked into the bathrooms. Being right in the state park is nice. We spent alot of time at the dog beach which is super nice. And is also a great spot for sunsets. The water is also really clear here. The beach has bathroom facilities and food trucks for snacks.

Lots of campers packed in, but we enjoyed the brief stay

Primitive sites are spacious, well spaced & reasonably flat. All sites are sandy with a raised fire ring, (no ground fires allowed). Walkable facilities are outhouses, although all campers may use the facilities in the RV grounds. Even if you don't need the power, etc I'd sugest the RV sites as they are a bit quieter, the highway noise at the primitive site did not diminish all night.
