The property was amazing and so was Ian, the owner! We loved the spot. Far enough inland to experience the country but only 30 min from multiple amazing beaches. The accommodations and upgraded he added to the property were thoughtful and appreciated. Highly recommended.

If you’re a star lover or someone who craves deep connection with nature, this place is an absolute gem. I recently spent a few days there, and it truly felt like a sacred pause from the noise of everyday life. The skies at night are breathtaking — a perfect canvas to observe the stars and reflect on the incredible beauty of God’s creation. The camp itself is peaceful, clean, and surrounded by serenity. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking rest, stillness, and a deeper sense of connection — both with nature and within themselves

Great hideaway spot
Tent · With pets
Perfect getaway spot to pitch a tent, burn a fire and relax! Was greeted when I arrived and shown the lay of the land. Potable water readily available, clean porta potty, access to a grill and lounge area but I cooked on the fire and set up my own lounge by my fire/tent. Looking forward to capitalizing on this beautiful property soon!

Camping with amenities
Tent
We had a good experience at Atomic. Ian had just cut the grass, we could pick our spot and drive up. He has at least 5 spigots and hoses with potable water. The center pergola area is concreted, very clean and has a little sink. There was a cold water shower to rinse off after the beach if needed. Ian let us have a bunch of firewood, and was very friendly and attentive. A good place for stress free camping, no crowds, easy on, way out. Didn’t get to try the arcade - the dune climbing at Warren Dunes took it out of us.

Perfect spot
Tent · With pets
I recently stayed at the Atomic Campground with my two dogs and had an incredible experience! The secluded spot provided the perfect retreat, and host Ian was absolutely amazing, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The amenities were great, including a communal grill, Porta potty, outside sink for washing dishes, outdoor shower, shaded picnic tables, and even eleven pinball machines! Plus, it's conveniently located just 7 minutes from two nearby towns for easy grocery shopping. I highly recommend this host and campground for anyone looking for a fantastic getaway.

Dunes family trip
5 m car · With pets
It's a very nice place to camp if you're looking to be near the dunes and wineries.
The camp is well maintained. A large flat grassy lot with potable water pumps available, a porta john, fire rings, and a covered sitting area. There is also a little gem of an arcade on the site. Made having a toddler and camping very doable.
Oh and the host is very attentive and kind. Honestly, made the campsite so much cooler. Ian is a great guy to have a chat with.

Fun Family Overnight
Tent · With pets
The Atomic Campground was the perfect place for my family to get away for the night and reconnect. The campground area was a wide open, well maintained grassy area surrounded by a dense wooded area. We loved the scenery, the grill are under the canopy, the space to move around, easy water access, clean, illuminated port-o-john and of course, the host! Ian was most hospitable. He started us a fire, welcomed us and left us to it. We arrived late so not much of a chance to talk with him but I appreciate his laid backed attitude and hope to come back and visit for another stay soon.

Where Camping is ‘Nuclear’ Fun! ⚛️
5 m car
I van camped overnight at Atomic Campgrounds and was very pleased with my stay! I arrived when it was dark out, and Ian was kind enough to have a fire already going for me that provided light and warmth all night long! Ian puts so much love and craftiness into this property. If you have a chance to chat with him, ask him about his arcade! 👾
There’s clean running water on site from a well pump and a portapotty nearby with everything you need. I came to watch the December Geminid Meteor Shower. For my fellow stargazers - you can get a pretty good view of the sky from here, but there’s a bit of light pollution coming from South Bend. Don’t let that deter you from camping here, the Great Lakes & Dunes are super nearby!
P.S. Atomic campgrounds is such a perfect name! ⚛️

Awesome Spot with Amazing Host
5 m car
I brought my car-top tent to Ian’s spot in anticipation of staying a day and then heading to Indiana Dunes. I stayed for 3! Ian is the consummate host! He’s super friendly and very accommodating. The space is INCREDIBLE! Lots of room for tents and RVs. Several water spigots. And a common space for hanging out that is cozy and vast. Bring a party or come alone—and you’ll feel at home here.
Ian has great tips for things to do and see in the area, which was great. He recommended Warren Dunes as an alternate to Indiana Dunes…and it was awesome! Plus St Joseph close by for great local shopping and wine tasting and checking out kite surfers on the lake.
After a day of activities, I came back to a homey fire in one of the existing fire pits that Ian had built! It was so awesome. We hung out with some folks who were staying there, which was fun and really welcoming.
If traveling in the area, stay at Ian’s Hipcamp!! I’ll def be back!

Great spot for camping. Super nice host. Amazing value. Large flat nicely cut grass with a great hangout area in the middle that we used to grill dinner, make a fire, drink and wash w the running water.
Really beautiful part of Michigan with farmers market just a few houses down, lots of fruit picking, great places to eat and beaches nearby.

Travel Trailer Camping with Nature

Ian the host went out of his way to make sure that we had everything that we needed. He was awesome! We also loved his area for the campers. We were the only ones there and it was amazing to be in the middle of nowhere with just us and nature. There was plenty of area for us and the dog to explore! Atomic Campground gets a 10 out 10 stars!
