Camping near Beverly Shores, Indiana
Beverly Shores sits on the south shore of Lake Michigan, entirely surrounded by Indiana Dunes National Park, which hugs 15 miles of the southern shore of Lake Michigan. The town is best known as the address of Dunewood Campground, the national park's only developed campground, and it sits within a short drive of Indiana Dunes State Park in Chesterton. Together the two parks give RV renters direct access to beaches, dune trails, and the South Shore Line commuter rail to Chicago.
Campground options split into two categories. Public sites at Dunewood Campground, divided into two loops plus a walk-in section, and the state park campground offer proximity to the beach but limited hookups. Private parks nearby fill the gap for RVers who need full utilities: Michigan City Campground east of town, Sand Creek Campground in Chesterton, and Lakeshore Camp Resort in Portage all serve larger rigs.
Beverly Shores itself is quiet and residential, with the beach reached by a short drive or a walk through town. The Indiana Dunes Visitor Center in Porter is the practical starting point for maps, ranger info, and trip planning.
Things to do around Beverly Shores
The main draw is the Lake Michigan shoreline and the dunes behind it. Hikers can access roughly 50 miles of trails over rugged dunes, wetlands, prairies, rivers, and forests, with Mount Baldy, Cowles Bog, and the state park's dune succession trails among the most-hiked routes. Swimming, kayaking, and birding are standard warm-weather activities, and the Indiana Dunes Birding Festival is held each May with birdwatching tours led by experts.
Families use Beverly Shores as a base for day trips. The South Shore Line stops in town and runs directly to downtown Chicago, making a city day easy without moving the RV. Closer to camp, the Indiana Dunes Visitor Center, Chellberg Farm, and the Bailly Homestead offer shorter, low-key outings when the beach gets crowded or the weather turns.

The camping season runs roughly April through early November. Dunewood Campground is open April 1 through November 1, and Indiana Dunes State Park is open year-round with a full-service camping season roughly late April through late October. Private parks follow similar patterns, with Sand Creek and Lakeshore Camp Resort operating spring through early fall. Michigan City Campground tends to have a longer operating window.
Summer is the busy season, driven by lake recreation including boating, kayaking, and swimming. Plan for full sun while hiking the dunes, and carry plenty of water and sunscreen. Weekends and holidays fill months ahead at both public campgrounds. Spring and fall are cooler and quieter, better for hiking and birding without beach crowds.
Winter closes most of the region's campgrounds. Indiana Dunes National Park has cold, snowy winters due to its northern location. The national and state park campgrounds are closed to overnight camping in the coldest months, though day-use winter recreation continues in both parks.

How to book campgrounds near Beverly Shores
Public sites use two different systems. Dunewood Campground reservations are handled on Recreation.gov, with the seasonal booking window opening on November 15 for the following camping season, then rolling six months out after that. Indiana Dunes State Park sites are booked through the Indiana DNR reservation portal on ReserveAmerica, on a six-month rolling window that opens at noon each day.
Private parks manage their own bookings. Michigan City Campground, Sand Creek Campground, and Lakeshore Camp Resort take reservations directly through their websites or by phone, with deposits typically required at booking.
Because the state park campground and Dunewood both fill quickly for summer weekends, book as soon as the window opens. If dates are locked in, private parks and cancellation-alert tools are practical backups.
What to expect on the ground
Dunewood is a wooded, no-hookup national park campground with 66 sites, 54 drive-in and 12 walk-in, including 4 fully accessible sites. Restrooms, showers, potable water, and a dump station are provided, but there are no electric, water, or sewer hookups at individual sites, and some sites have length limits, so read each site description carefully before booking a larger rig. Indiana Dunes State Park is the larger option with roughly 140 electric sites, a dump station, and modern shower buildings, but no water or sewer at the pad.
Private parks in the area lean toward full-service. Michigan City Campground, Sand Creek Campground, and Lakeshore Camp Resort provide 30/50-amp electric, water, and sewer at most sites, along with pools, laundry, and playgrounds. Expect a mix of seasonal residents and short-stay travelers, tighter site spacing than the public parks, and some road or train noise depending on location.

Frequently asked questions about campgrounds near Beverly Shores, IN
How much does an RV rental in Beverly Shores, Indiana typically cost?
You can find an RV rental in Beverly Shores for a wide range of budgets, with travel trailers often starting around $90 to $150 per night and Class C motorhomes typically running $175 to $300 per night on RVezy. Pricing depends on the size, age, and features of the rig, plus seasonal demand around Indiana Dunes National Park. For a cheaper RV rental Beverly Shores trip, target shoulder season weeks in May or September when summer beach crowds thin out and hosts often drop nightly rates. Pro tip: filter by Instant Book and message hosts directly to ask about weekly discounts, especially if you're planning multiple nights near Dunewood Campground.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Beverly%20Shores%2C%20IndianaWhat license do I need to rent an RV in Beverly Shores?
Good news: a regular driver's license is all you need to rent an RV in Beverly Shores, Indiana. No Commercial Driver's License (CDL) or special endorsement is required for the motorhomes, campervans, and travel trailers listed on RVezy, even larger Class A and Class C models. Approved drivers are generally required to be at least 25 years old, and ID verification is handled securely through the RVezy platform when you book. Visiting from outside the US? Pick up an International Driving Permit (IDP) from your home country's auto association before flying in. Most first-time renters are surprised how easy the requirements are, leaving you free to focus on Lake Michigan beaches and dune trails.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039008774-Understanding-approved-driver-requirementsWhat kind of protection comes with my Beverly Shores RV rental?
Every RV rental in Beverly Shores booked through RVezy comes with a renter protection plan and 24/7 roadside assistance built right in, so you're covered from the moment you pick up the keys. The protection plan covers most damage to the vehicle during your trip, giving you serious peace of mind as you cruise US Highway 12 along the Indiana Dunes lakeshore. RVezy offers different protection tiers, and you choose the level of coverage that fits your comfort during checkout (hosts don't decide this, you do). It's designed to remove the financial stress so you can focus on sunsets over Lake Michigan instead of worst-case scenarios.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailWhat happens if I need to cancel my Beverly Shores RV trip?
Booking feels low-risk because RVezy (not individual hosts) sets the cancellation policy, so you can lock in a Beverly Shores RV rental with confidence. If life happens, such as a work conflict, illness, or even severe weather rolling in off Lake Michigan, the amount refunded depends on how far out you are from your trip start date and the circumstances of the cancellation. You'll see the exact policy details on the RVezy website during checkout. Pro tip: if a major storm or natural disaster affects your dates, contact RVezy support right away, as special accommodations often apply in those situations.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360037736674-Understanding-the-cancellation-policy-for-guestsCan I bring my dog on a pet-friendly RV rental in Beverly Shores?
Absolutely, plenty of hosts offer a pet-friendly RV rental Beverly Shores travelers love bringing their dogs on. Use the Pet-Friendly filter on RVezy to instantly see rigs that welcome four-legged passengers, and message the host if you have a larger breed or multiple pets. Indiana Dunes National Park is unusually dog-friendly: leashed pets are allowed on most trails (Dunes Succession Trail, Calumet Trail, Cowles Bog) and at West Beach and Kemil Beach outside of swim-protected zones. Indiana Dunes State Park also allows leashed dogs on its trail system. Pro tip: bring a long lead and a towel, since sandy paws are part of the deal after a Lake Michigan beach walk.
nps.gov/indu/planyourvisit/pets.htmCan the RV be delivered to my campsite in Beverly Shores?
Yes, RV delivery Beverly Shores style is one of the most popular options on RVezy, and it's a game-changer if it's your first time renting an RV. Many local hosts will drive the motorhome or travel trailer straight to Dunewood Campground, Indiana Dunes State Park Campground, or even a private address, level it, hook up power and water (where available), and walk you through every system before they leave. Just use the Delivery filter when searching, or message the host to confirm their delivery radius and fee (rates often scale with distance from Beverly Shores). Pro tip: delivery is especially smart for travel trailers, since you can skip towing through narrow US-12 traffic entirely.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Beverly%20Shores%2C%20IndianaHow does mileage work, and how far can I drive on a Beverly Shores RV trip?
Most RVezy hosts include a generous daily mileage allowance, and some even offer an RV rental with unlimited mileage, so you've got room to roam well beyond Beverly Shores. You'll see each host's mileage policy and per-mile overage rate clearly on the listing page before you book. From Beverly Shores, popular round-trip destinations include Chicago (about 55 miles west), Indianapolis (165 miles south), Mackinaw City, MI (320 miles north), and Saugatuck/South Haven, MI on Michigan's west coast (about 90 miles around the lake). Pro tip: if you're planning a longer RV road trip from Beverly Shores, message the host before booking, as many will bump up your mileage cap or quote a flat rate for the week.
in.gov/indot/Where are the best campgrounds near Beverly Shores for an RV?
You're spoiled for choice when it comes to the best campgrounds near Beverly Shores. Dunewood Campground inside Indiana Dunes National Park sits right in town off US-12 with wooded sites, restrooms, showers, and a dump station (no hookups). Indiana Dunes State Park Campground in nearby Chesterton offers around 140 sites with electric hookups, modern bathhouses, and a short walk to the beach. Sand Creek Campground in Chesterton and Michigan City Campground round out the area with full-hookup options. For RV camping Beverly Shores travelers love, Dunewood gets you closest to Lake View Beach, just a short drive up the road.
nps.gov/indu/planyourvisit/campgrounds.htmWhen is the best time to visit Beverly Shores in an RV?
Late May through early October is the sweet spot for a Beverly Shores RV trip, with Dunewood Campground open April through October and Lake Michigan beach weather peaking from late June through August. Summer highs typically run 78 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit, while spring and fall are cooler (50s to 70s) and far less crowded. Fall foliage in mid-October around Chellberg Farm and the Bailly Homestead is stunning, and the Indiana Dunes Birding Festival each May draws birders to the wetlands. Pro tip: shoulder-season weekdays in September give you warm sand, swimmable water (Lake Michigan stays warm into early fall), empty trails, and lower nightly rates on your RV rental Indiana.
weather.gov/lot/I've never driven an RV before. Will I be okay in Beverly Shores?
You'll do great, first time renting an RV in Beverly Shores is genuinely beginner-friendly. Your host will give you a hands-on walkthrough at pickup covering driving, leveling, the propane system, water, waste, and electric, and you can ask as many questions as you need. The roads around Beverly Shores are mostly flat and low-traffic: US-12 is a scenic two-lane along the lake, and I-94 and the Indiana Toll Road handle the longer hauls. Pro tip: if city driving in Chicago or tight campground turns feel intimidating, book a Class B campervan or a travel trailer with delivery, and you'll skip the white-knuckle moments entirely while still soaking up the dunes.
in.gov/indot/safety/What if something goes wrong with the RV during my trip?
You're never on your own. Every booking on RVezy includes 24/7 roadside assistance as part of the protection plan, so if you get a flat tire on US-12, a dead battery at Dunewood Campground, or a propane issue out near Michigan City, one phone call gets help dispatched. RVezy customer support is also available before, during, and after your trip for anything non-mechanical, and your host is just a message away for system-specific questions (most respond within minutes). Pro tip: snap a few photos of the RV's hookups and dash during your walkthrough so you can quickly reference them if roadside ever asks what you're looking at.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/34008759079835-RVezy-renter-protection-plans-in-detailCan I drive my Beverly Shores RV rental across state lines or into Canada?
Yes, you can absolutely take your RV rental in Beverly Shores across state lines, that's part of the fun. Popular RV road trips from Beverly Shores include Chicago (55 miles), Michigan's wine country around Saugatuck (about 90 miles), Mackinac Island (about 320 miles), and the Wisconsin Dells (about 230 miles). Cross-border travel into Canada may be allowed with host approval and a quick check on insurance coverage, so message the host before booking if you're dreaming of Niagara Falls or Toronto. One firm rule: travel into Mexico is not permitted on RVezy rentals, since insurance doesn't extend there. Pro tip: a Lake Michigan Circle Tour loop through Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Illinois is a classic week-long RV adventure.
cbp.gov/travel/us-citizens/know-before-you-goWhat should I budget for fuel on a Beverly Shores RV trip?
Fuel is usually the second-biggest line item after the rental itself, but it's easy to plan for. Class B campervans typically get 18 to 22 MPG, Class C motorhomes 8 to 12 MPG, and Class A coaches 6 to 10 MPG, while travel trailers depend on your tow vehicle. Indiana gas prices generally run a bit below the national average, with stations clustered around Chesterton, Michigan City, and the I-94 exits near Beverly Shores. For a typical 4-night trip staying mostly around the dunes, most travelers spend $80 to $200 on fuel. Pro tip: fill up in Indiana before crossing into Illinois, where Cook County gas taxes can add 30 to 50 cents per gallon.
eia.gov/petroleum/gasdiesel/How far ahead should I book a campground near Beverly Shores?
Book early and you'll thank yourself later. Dunewood Campground inside Indiana Dunes National Park opens reservations on November 15 for the following season through Recreation.gov, and summer weekends often fill within minutes. Indiana Dunes State Park Campground takes reservations up to 6 months in advance through the Indiana DNR's reserveamerica system. For July and August weekends, aim to book 4 to 6 months out; for May, September, and October, 4 to 8 weeks is usually fine. Pro tip: if your dream weekend is sold out, set a cancellation alert and check Recreation.gov on Sunday evenings, when many travelers release sites they no longer need.
recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/258887What are the local driving conditions like around Beverly Shores?
Driving around Beverly Shores is refreshingly mellow compared to most Lake Michigan destinations. US-12 winds through the dunes as a scenic two-lane with a 35 to 45 mph limit, I-94 handles east-west traffic, and the South Shore Line train tracks run parallel to US-12 (watch for crossings). Beverly Shores itself has strict parking enforcement, so don't park in the town's beach lot unless you have a town permit, use the Lake View Beach lot instead. Winter can bring lake-effect snow from December through March, so check the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) road conditions before any cold-weather trip. Pro tip: avoid Friday afternoon eastbound I-94 from Chicago in summer, when weekend traffic turns brutal.
in.gov/indot/What amenities will I find at campgrounds near Beverly Shores?
Campground amenities in the Beverly Shores area range from rustic to resort-style, so you can pick what fits your trip. Dunewood Campground offers flush toilets, hot showers, potable water spigots, a dump station, picnic tables, and fire rings, but no individual hookups (perfect for self-contained rigs under 35 feet). Indiana Dunes State Park has electric hookups at 134 sites, heated bathhouses, a camp store with firewood, and a playground. Michigan City Campground offers premium full-hookup pull-throughs with water, sewer, 50-amp electric, and strong Wi-Fi. Pro tip: the dump station at Dunewood is free for registered campers, and there's potable water at the entrance, so top off your fresh tank on the way in.
nps.gov/indu/planyourvisit/campgrounds.htmWhat's inside a typical RV rental in Beverly Shores?
You'll be impressed by how loaded modern rigs are. A typical motorhome rental Beverly Shores travelers book, whether a Class C or Class A, comes with a queen or king bed, a full kitchen (fridge, stove, microwave, sink), a wet or dry bathroom with toilet and shower, a dinette, air conditioning, a furnace, and a TV. Most include a generator or solar setup for off-grid power at Dunewood Campground, which has no hookups. Seatbelts in motorhomes typically match the sleeping capacity, so a rig that sleeps 6 usually seats 6 while driving. Pro tip: filter by sleeps count and check for Wi-Fi or cell boosters if you plan to work remotely, since signal can dip in the wooded sections of the national park.
nhtsa.gov/road-safety/rv-safetyWhat add-ons can I get with my Beverly Shores RV rental?
Hosts on RVezy offer a long menu of optional add-ons to make your trip easier. Common extras for a campervan rental Beverly Shores or motorhome booking include kitchen kits, linens and bedding bundles, generators, propane refills, bikes, paddleboards or kayaks (perfect for Lake Michigan or the Little Calumet River), camp chairs, outdoor mats, and pet packages. Pickup and dropoff is typically at the host's location, but delivery to Dunewood, Indiana Dunes State Park, or your private address is widely available for a flat fee. Pro tip: ask the host to include a starter kit of toilet paper, holding tank chemicals, and a sewer hose, those small extras make your first dump station visit dramatically less awkward.
nps.gov/indu/planyourvisit/things-to-do.htmHow does payment and the security deposit work on RVezy?
Payment is straightforward and fully handled through the RVezy platform, so no awkward cash exchanges with the host. You'll pay the rental total, fees, and chosen protection plan securely online when you book, and a refundable security deposit is handled separately from your booking payment shortly before pickup. The deposit is released back to you after the trip, assuming the RV comes back in the same condition it left (clean, undamaged, with the holding tanks emptied per the host's instructions). Pro tip: take date-stamped photos of the interior, exterior, and odometer at both pickup and dropoff, that small habit prevents most deposit disputes and gives you total peace of mind for your family RV trip in Beverly Shores.
help.rvezy.com/hc/en-us/articles/360038106214-How-the-security-deposit-worksCan I rent an RV in Beverly Shores during winter?
Yes, winter RV rentals in Beverly Shores are possible and surprisingly magical if you're up for the adventure. Dunewood Campground closes for the winter season, but Michigan City Campground options remain available, and many RVezy hosts list winter-ready rigs with heated holding tanks, enclosed underbellies, and propane furnaces. Lake-effect snow can dust the dunes from December through February, with temperatures often in the 20s to 30s Fahrenheit, and cross-country skiing in Glenwood Dunes is a real treat. Always plug into shore power when possible to keep the furnace humming. Pro tip: message the host to confirm the rig is four-season rated, and ask for a heated water hose, your morning coffee will thank you.
