July 9 Best Beach - Short Drive from Chicago

Spent an amazing day at a beautiful, clean beach less than a two hour drive from Chicago. Perfect for a day trip with the kids, only $8 per car and tons of parking close to the beach! Bring an umbrella or tent - not much shade available near beach.

June 24 A family Tradition

My grandparents use to bring their 5 kids to the warren dunes every year it has been a family tradition for years!!! This park is amazing!

January 29 One of our favorite parks!

We loved staying at Warren Dunes state park. Nice lots. Spacious camping. Family fun. Activities. Has a busy beach but great for early morning walks and beautiful sunsets.. We just had a blast! I have a 14 and 16 year old and that is were they always want to go....

January 7 Best swimming on Southern Lake Michigan by SMP

This park is a great place for Chicagoans like me to take a dip in the lake on a summer day. The big dune is amazing and a challenge to climb. I have never camped here.

October 6 Beautiful views everywhere by D.from Illinios

Having to climb the tallest dunes is always rewarding when you get to see for miles ...and the forest growing right into the sand is almost otherworldly....Awesome place to relax and get away from stress.

September 2 Worst State Park in Michigan! by TonyS

Avoid this catastrophe at all costs! Super small campsites,located next to the freeway, and a train blowing his horn all night long will insure that you get NO SLEEP. The beach is dirty, and the bathrooms are unbelievably disgusting. Toilets overflowing everywhere. I would NEVER recommend this park to anyone.
