Campgrounds and RV parks near Shoreham, MI

Beach days dominate. Warren Dunes offers 3 miles of sandy shoreline along Lake Michigan and a rugged dune formation rising 260 feet above the lake, with hang gliding available by permit and 6 miles of hiking trails. Families climb Tower Hill, while the pet beach north of the northernmost swim buoy provides about 2.5 miles of shoreline open to dogs on leash. Water activities extend beyond the state park. Weko Beach has a modern beach house, a small-craft boat launch, concessions, and kayak and stand-up paddleboard rentals, and Taps is played at sunset every night from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Inland, Bear Cave RV Campground sits directly on the St. Joseph River with a boat launch, docks, and canoe rentals. Note the cave itself is closed indefinitely for reinforcement work.

The RV season on this stretch of Lake Michigan is short and busy. Weko Beach Campground is open May through mid-October, and Bear Cave RV Campground runs from April 15 through October 15. Warren Dunes is open year-round, but full campground services concentrate in the warm months. Summer is peak. Sites at Warren Dunes and Weko fill early for July, August, and holiday weekends. Warren Dunes campsite reservations open six months in advance, and campsites and cabins can fill up quickly for summer and holiday weekends, with sites often booking as soon as they become available. Late spring and early fall are quieter, cooler, and better for hiking the dunes without crowds. Winter shifts the area to a day-use character. Snow typically arrives in November and lingers into April, and while Warren Dunes stays open for sledding, snowshoeing, and cross-country skiing, most private RV parks near Shoreham are closed. The Coloma / St. Joseph KOA Holiday and Bear Cave close for the winter, with reopening in spring.

Expect sandy soil and wooded sites. At Weko Beach, the City of Bridgman maintains sites across two RV loops and one primitive area with electric and water hookups; sandy roads can be soft, and many sites lack level ground, so leveling blocks are essential. Warren Dunes has a modern loop with electric hookups and a semi-modern loop, with a mix of shady, sunny, and wooded sites and some pull-throughs. Bear Cave leans family-resort, with a heated pool, playground, clubhouse, clean bathhouses, and a dump station for RVs without sewer hookups. The Coloma / St. Joseph KOA Holiday offers full-hookup pull-throughs and cabin rentals. Cell coverage is generally usable across the area but varies site to site.
