Camping near Lemon Lake

[hognosesucker]

A few guys from my club and I are heading up to Lemon Lake some weekend in August. Does anyone know of any primitive tent camping sites or low cost tent camping nearby? I saw that the closest SP to Lemon Lake was Indiana Dunes. Does it have primitive camping? I checked out the DNR website and it seems they only have electrical sites for $25/night I'd like to get by on $10/night or less. Any thoughts?

Stoney Run County Park in Leroy (Hebron), Indiana is about twenty minutes away and I know they have camping available. That is the closest one I can think of. The Dunes State park is awesome but it's about an hour away from Lemon Lake.

Sorry to bump such an old thread, but I was kind of wondering the same thing.

There are not many options for camping in the area, however, I listed a few below:

• Crown Point Campgrounds
• Pondarosa Sun Club
• Jukeshoe's backyard

Does Jukeshoe provide free beer and camp wood?

I believe Pondarosa Sun club is adults only

might still be better than Juke's backyard

 

[Jukeshoe]

Yeah, not much of a difference between the nudist colony and camping in my yard.

Yes, free wood only in the a.m. :|

No, you cannot afford the price of beer outta my fridge (it's special to me).

(FWIW, I live on the 4th floor of a building downtown now, so no more setting up in my back yard in the future...sorry fellas!)

Jukeshoe: <---No longer has yardwork.

I have traveled to Lemon Lake on two different occasions and stayed at Emerald Trails Campground both times. Approximately a 15 min drive to LL. They have primitive campsites available with showers/restrooms at the main office included with the night. Don't remember the cost but it was reasonable considering the facilities included.

Check 'em out.

Looks like July 19 & 20th would be the best time to stay at Ponderosa Sun Club.
