We took our family, my brother in law, sister in law and her family and all 9 of us had a blast. We drove on the dunes, ran on the dunes, dug and played on the dunes. Such a simple and beautiful place to take your family.

Its a family tradition to go to the dunes every summer. We have a sand car and its the highlight of the summer. Great place for 4x4s, dirt bikes, 4 wheelers, and dune buggies. The test hill is always fun to watch. Its a beautiful spot to see the sunset if you can make it to the top!

For several ears we've enjoyed exploring and playing on the dunes in our own vehicle. On our last visit we opted to add the tour and I'm glad we did. Our tour guide was knowledgable and funny. He took several family photos of us and to our surprise he even included a few of himself. Be aware of where you... More

Laid back place to visit. Lots of activities to chose from. Good food options and shopping. Very nice campgrounds and nature area's. The dunes and lake are amazing also. Make sure to take the Dune rides if you haven't before.

We rented ATVs and rode on the sand dunes. It was a blast!! High hills along Lake Michigan gave us lots of photo ops. We will travel here to do this again.

One of the fastest shifting sand dunes in the USA. It is a fun and relaxing walk across the dunes. I would highly recommend the experience.

Rent a dune buggy or just enjoy the sand. Great place to relax. Great lake for boating. Big drop off so watch out if you have small children.

I have never seen that much white sand. It was really pretty cool to see. We were there for the AppleBBQ fest, and the whole area is very neat. Reminds me of Wisc Dells area with the lake and dunes as a pretty sweet trade for the waterparks. We didn't get to take a ride out on the dunes this... More
