Warren Dunes State Park, Michigan, United States
4.5 (568 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Berrien County State Parks
Florida beach vibes near Chicago area.
Quick spontaneous 3 hr road trip from central IL to relax on a beach. $10 to get in to the park. Hung out on the beach watching the waves roll in on a beautiful hot summer day. It wasn't too packed which made it comfortable. Plenty of parking available. Food truck on site or bring your own cooler. I climbed a 260 foot dune, felt good to reach the top and admire the view from above. You can also hike in the woods which is a whole different vibe than the beach front.

Great day trip with family
We rented an AirBnB nearby with 6 adults and 4 kids between 4 and 11. We all enjoyed our day at Warren Dunes. It did cost $10 per car to enter except for the family that had a Michigan state park pass. We went mid week and about 9:30 am in Early August and it was not crowded at the dune or the beach. We all enjoyed the hike up the dune although not all of us made it to the top. After that we went over to the beach for awhile, the water was great—slightly shocking until you are used to it after a minute or so, the beach sand was pretty and it was not too rocky to walk on. Mostly sand. We also stopped in the picnic area whic was shaded enough to enjoy lunch at tables. There were restrooms by the beach. We had everything we needed for a fun day with kids.

Nice afternoon
We had a nice day here. We came early for a hike but we're chased from the woods by swarms of mosquitoes. Bring bug spray if you plan on hiking. We spent most of the day on the beach that was dog friendly. I was surprised at just how dog friendly the beach was and how large it was. It seemed to go on for about a half mile or so. The bathrooms were clean. They did have food trucks but they weren't open the day we were there. Overall, I plan to rerun with our own dogs on a not so busy day.
