Weekend Trip to Sleek Acres

We had a great time at Sleek Acres! The area was well-kept, cutely decorated, and had nice amenities. The hosts even met us happily at a late hour to show us our site and answer questions.

Weekend Trip to Sleek Acres

Earl the host was great. He responded immediately to a difficulty with water. He was everything one wants in a host and more. The site was excellent and the views in all direction was great. The sandy beach, pond and the ducks were very relaxing to watch in the comfortable glider. Recommend a stay when in area.

2 nights at The Mannex! Indiana Dunes Nat'l Pk

This is a very well maintained (new!) site, that while right off the road is very private, and perfect if you want some privacy and easy access to Indiana Dunes and the local sights. Not a huge fan of Michigan City, but this local area had some nice restaurant and convenience store/gas stations/gift shop. Indiana Dunes state park itself is extremely nice with a more traditional beach, and great trails. The town of Beverly Shores is this weird little enclave right along the coast, it's got a really nice little scenic drive along the coast but you can't park anywhere without a parking pass, sort of reminiscent of the snobbier coastal towns up in New England. There's a national park beach down the road but it's a bit of a hike to the beach from the parking lot. This is a premium location if your rig/trailer is able to fit in, larger RVs and trailers won't fit. Really enjoyed the site and the host!

1 night at Private Camping in Michiana

Very beautiful and secluded, private spot with plenty of room. Very well equipped with all the utensils you might need for camping! Owners were promptly responding to messages. Although it was a last minute booking, it was a breeze!

2 nights at Wrenhaven Woods - Trails & Sunsets

We had such a a great experience. Elizabeth was very kind and helpful. The campsite was very private and tucked in the woods. An easy 20 minute drive from Warren dunes State Park.

3 nights at Sleek Acres

Such a fantastic experience!!! We will definitely be back!! Earl and Lisa were so sweet!! Super well kept site! Thank you again!!!

Weekend Trip to Sleek Acres

Our family had an amazing experience at this campsite! The campsites are very clean and so spacious. The kids had a blast fishing in the pond and exploring all the nature around us. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and friendly, making our stay even better. We highly recommend this campsite for a fun and relaxing family getaway!

4 nights at The Mannex! Indiana Dunes Nat'l Pk

We camped with our ALiner here for the 4th of July weekend. This spot did not disappoint. Geoff was a great host and gave us so many pointers - where to go to the beach, where to eat, etc. Our kiddos loved watching all the trains go by our spot. The space was spacious and you can tell Geoff put a lot of care into it. The beaches nearby are lovely and just down the road. Our only suggestion would be to have a porta potty on site. :)

Weekend Trip to Private Camping in Michiana

This site is really really great for experienced campers. Has everything you really need, camp toilet is not my fav though but hey if you’re used to pooping in the woods it’s better than that! It’s very private which is so nice, and the pond and fountain are adorable! They provide so much cooking/other equipment too that is very helpful. At night it does get extremely buggy, so bring plenty of heavy duty bug spray. Nora and Simon are very responsive hosts! Would definitely recommend for more experienced campers, my husband and I will always remember camping together for the first time here for our 5 year wedding anniversary!

1 night at Sleek Acres

Earl & Lisa's land is a very nice place to camp. They take good care of everything and are very friendly. The campsites are well laid out and the bathroom & shower were very clean.

2 nights at The Mannex! Indiana Dunes Nat'l Pk

Great location and beautiful site set up. Light sleepers may be affected by road and train noise.

2 nights at Wrenhaven Woods - Trails & Sunsets

Weekend Trip to Walnut Valley Realm Campground

We camped on site 4. It was so peaceful and a very nice, wooded site with lots of room to spread out! Brain was so kind and helpful. I would highly recommend!!

Weekend Trip to Sleek Acres

Loved the escorted entry by a cute mini car looking type of golfcart. I followed them into the dark star filled campground barely lit with twinkly lights to indicate campsights on the plush grassy grounds. Fully stocked complimentary firewood, tables, late checkout option and fabulous big private shower, as well as an outside sink for washing dishes. Shade trees at nearly every site as well as firepit with grill on most. Definitely recommend taking a walk along the property easy hiking trails with blackberries in the way back. Extremely friendly hosts with farm fresh eggs for purchase. I got 1/2 dozen for $2 and they were amazing. My service dog was ecstatic to have her run of the place because there weren't any other dogs at the time. Very pet friendly place with ducks swimming on a little pond. Adirondack chairs were pond side to sit and gaze at them if you so choose. Just absolutely charming. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Weekend Trip to Sleek Acres

Earl & Lisa were incredibly kind and welcoming, going above and beyond throughout our stay! We had privacy on our site, and room for three tents, while being close to the bathroom and pond. We enjoyed farm fresh eggs and a large load of firewood that we were able to add on while at the site. We loved feeding the ducks/fish, playing cornhole and lawn games in the common area, and relaxing at the campsite in the shade. Bathroom was incredibly clean, and we appreciated the outdoor sink and garbage can. We had a great two nights and would absolutely return!

Weekend Trip to Gypsy camp

Anne was a super amazing host! We stayed at the meadow and want to come back to one of the forest sites. Her property was so well maintained and because of this there were so many fireflies! It was a magical weekend and the outdoor kitchen came in handy. We appreciated the roaming pets, the site was easy to get to and it had everything we needed. The area was close to the water and not far from a lot of cute food places and antique shops. Definitely a hidden gem and we can’t wait to come back!

Weekend Trip to Lochloosa River Retreat

We loved the space, the hospitality, and the river! Beautiful retreat!!

Weekend Trip to Blooming Bus Farms

Blooming Bus Farm is AMAZING! Melissa is an outstanding host, she went above and beyond and made our family feel at home the whole weekend! Our campsite was clean, quiet, private and safe! We will return for sure!

Weekend Trip to Sleek Acres

Great spot for an overnight. Would be a fun place to rent out the entire place and do a family reunion. Wonderful shower and bathroom! Only downside was the highway and train noise. Otherwise fantastic. The camp hosts are wonderful.

The Man's Annex aka the Mannex is located on Scenic US HWY 12 to the South and The South Shore Commuter Rail to the North. The campsite is very clean, tidy and safe. The main pebble parking area slopes gently to the North so you will want levelers if you're in a camper. I have a brand new RV Pedestal complete with 50 and 30amp service, a mechanical timer for the LED lights encompassing the parking area as well as a rheostat so you can dim the lights. I have a 40" firepit with spark arrestor (please use to be in compliance with local laws) as well as a polywood octagonal picnic table and well water with 100' hose. Trash and human waste is to be carried out. Please keep your camper to the east of the blue and yellow birdhouses as access to the building is needed. Tent campers can pitch a tent on the grassy area east of the fire pit or anywhere in the woods. The location is great! You're inside the dunes national park and only 1.35 miles to the beach. Just north of the train tracks is the Calumet bike path. .35 to the west is a gas station with a bathroom, the south shore train station (day trip to Chicago anyone?), a great restaurant and liquor store as well.

Suggested Local Attractions:The World's Greatest Amateur Circus: Peru, Indiana, is also known as the "Circus City". In the late 1800s and early 1900s, Peru was home to the Hagenbeck-Wallace Circus and others. Even the Ringling Brothers Circus wintered there for a while. For 10 days each July, Peru celebrates the Circus City Festival with rides, crafts, food, games, and more. The highlight, however, is the live amateur circus that has performances throughout the festival. A unique and authentic experience that echoes the early heyday of the circus, this is a fun event not to be missed. Performers are locals, some of whom are direct descendants of professional performers in the earlier shows. Even if a visit is timed to occur outside of July, a visit to the small but impressive International Circus Hall of Fame might be worth the trip.
