Wonderful campground! The staff goes above and beyond to meet every need. We lost our awning in a storm and needed a sawsall to cut it up to be able to get it into the dumpster. We asked an employee and he was back in 15 minutes with battery operated sawsall with extra battery and blades! So helpful. Trash is picked up twice a day. Wood delivered to your site. Fun scheduled activities everyday, pool, playground, hammocks, and the location is perfect - close to the dunes and Little Sable. Family friendly, wonderful place!

This campground is unbelievable. The employees are so friendly and knowledgeable. I love how we got A text Welcoming us to the park. Daily texts that let us know what activities were going on for that day. Text reminder when Quiet and checkout times are. They even have delivery service if you need ice or wood or anything that they could help you with. They have an ice cream shop as well as a Souvenir/grocery shop. The pool has an area just for little ones with even a drop Bucket, a little lazy river, a deeper end for older kids and even a slide. The pool is heated and has a lot of places to sit. The activities were amazing. We have camped at a lot of campgrounds and have never been to one that has Large sites like Dunes Harbor has. This campground is a short distance from Silverlake, Lake Michigan, where you can even Visit the lighthouse. All I have to say is I can't wait till November 1 so I can book for the 2026 season.

A wonderful, well maintained campground. Only few mins drive to sand dunes. I got the interior site with full hook up, it is very close to bathhouse. It is easy to get to everywhere around campground. We also used laundry service before we left. Staffs are helpful. I love that they pick up trash from your site twice daily. Bathrooms are well cleaned, no bad smell at all. The only thing I wish that we could have is some cell phone service or Wifi. All of our phones did not have any service at all, make it difficult to keep in touch with people at home. We use T mobile. Wifi we only can get if we walk to the Cove, so we were completely disconnected with outside world. It was not bad but in case of emergency, it worries me. Overall a wonderful place, a happy place for kiddos & parents.

We loved our time at Dunes Harbor. Our kids loved the pony rides, horse trail rides, archery, organized games, pool, & ice cream parlor. All the staff are very helpful and many of the spots are private and facing the water. We could bring our kayak straight into the small lake from our camping spot. The Sand Dunes are 6 minutes away with lots of other family activities. The store is well stocked and offer to deliver some basics to your site number. They also pick up trash twice a day from your spot.
