Sand Creek Campground

"This was a nice place to spend the night while visiting the Indiana Sand Dunes State Park. All the other campgrounds in the area were full, but we found a spot and checked in easily at Sand Creek (where the primitive tent sites are first come first serve). The campground has all the basic amenities you could want: bathroom, picnic tables, fire hoops, office selling firewood, etc. It's not as romantic as some campgrounds we've been to in more remote locations, but it's a convenient place to sleep. We'll stay again if we return to the area."

"This place was an absolute rip-off. The nastiest restrooms I've been in a while- really guys, you can't even include handsoap? Maybe take care of the pest problems? Then there was a pool that you can tell hasn't been open in months and was still advertised as being open, (way to atract the mosquitos). Grounds that haven't been kept up in years. What a dump. Positive thing now is Now I know where NOT to camp and wast money. Careful all, be careful what you pay for."

"Stayed one night in a tent spot towards the back, it was quiet due to it being slightly off season. Facilities were fine, I probably wouldn’t come on a busy time of the year. Also you hear the noise from the expressway in the distance."

"This place is very run down compared to the pictures. 1. The place could be a gold mine if it was taken care of - the bathhouse is in need of repairs, flooding showers, ventilation is horrible, it smells of sewer, the shower heads need replaced, there's not enough hooks or shelves in the open room or in stalls, no in-shower benches. 2. The cleanliness of the shower house -not maintained enough. The pictures show a clean functional pool- that's false- the stagnant pool is unacceptable, full of black water, and has been out of service for years according to staff. 3. The dilapidated RVs sitting around the grounds should be removed. It looks extremely trashy and unwelcoming. 4. No tent pads and it's hard to tell where RVs are to be parked. No up to date or clearly labeled water sources throughout the area. 5. The benches are in poor rotting condition. 6. Trash is piled up and litter throughout the area, I'm not sure why it wasn't disposed of by management or staff. 7. The noise level wasn't regulated and a loud speaker announcement for quiet hours was disturbing and just plain lazy. 8. It's a shame management doesn't care or take better care of the place. 9. My biggest concern was the lack of a peaceful environment, after being told it was quiet hours no one seemed to care, with loud partying and constant vehicle noise, flashing vehicle lights on campers tents, slamming of car doors at all hours and management did not put a stop to it. They also allow very large groups of people. This had to be one of the worst experiences I've had. I've camped across the country and have been to many grounds with different management and I would never recommend this place to anyone. Not only was I appalled at the conditions and lack of concern management had but I witnessed others complaining and stating that they were also upset and leaving. They run this place like it's an hourly motel. Nothing is enforced, the place is dirty and unkept, no one respectable wants to stay there because of the allowed disruptive behaviors that go on. The only thing that looked decent were the cabins but I didn't stay in them."

"We have stayed here twice, once camping and once in a cabin. Both times were great. It would be nice if the pool was open, but they are only 20 minutes from Lake Michigan. Nice and quiet location. The kids loved the chickens, and the staff was very friendly."
