Great park to access the beach and the Michigan dunes, even in late fall. In season it is likely jammed with parking at a premium. Restrooms were closed for the season however, an outhouse style was open without running water. And surprisingly clean. Great area for walking.

It was our first time visiting, and it was wonderful. The coastline of Michigan is full of wonder and beauty. I strongly suggest that you visit the Dune and Beach, it truly connect us with nature in the best sense.

It's our favorite beach to go to. On the north end you can take your leashed dogs too. That end is not a busy. Great views and hiking trails add to the beauty.

Staff at the entrance was super friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and fun. Tons of parking and the parking lots were very clean. Beautiful park. The Dunes were fun to climb. The beach was clean and busy but not overly packed. We had plenty of space to lay out. The restrooms were clean and pleasant.

Warren Dunes State Park is a perfect day trip from Chicago during the summer. The dunes themselves are breathtaking and arguably more impressive than the Indiana dunes. The beach is huge, massive, and clean, and the water is typically clear and gorgeous. The sand is soft and clean with minimal rocks. The food trucks are decent but not terribly overpriced - great for a quick bite. The facilities are clean and well maintained. Only criticism is the gift shop is quite overpriced, but that’s not surprising. We love making an early drive from Chicago, going to the beach for a few hours here, then checking out the local shops and restaurants around Three Oaks and New Buffalo.

This beach is absolutely one of the best that there is! Nice and clean, long stretch of beach to walk and rock search, clean bathrooms and plenty of dumpsters! Staff are very friendly and obviously very proactive at keeping the grounds looking top notch. Very peaceful place 🙂

I was pretty surprised by this place. I didn’t have much expectations. We’ve already seen dunes so I wasn’t excited. The beach is beautiful. The water is a stunning color. Looks like they’re adding some buildings. Everything looked clean. For the most part. The dunes are cool. Not much hiking. It would be nice to camp here. I think they should only charge $5 for entry though.

Beautiful state park with pristine dunes, beaches, and many different trails to choose from, some really challenging others moderate/easy. Highly recommend!

Based on the size and number of large (closed) lakefront parking lots I would guess this place is rather busy in the summer. However, at the end of February - on one of the first warm days of the year, it was like the place was all ours! It was magical!! Getting to bring the fur babies with made it all the more perfect!!

This is a magical piece of nature not to be missed if you are in the area. The sand dunes tower above the beach front and are constantly moving and migrating although it’s not perceived by just observing them. Our Winter visit was peaceful and quiet with few people. The coastline was partially frozen and it added a calmness to the atmosphere. Catch a sunset 🌅 here, you won’t be disappointed. I highly recommend a visit to this beautiful, restful park.
