Bumpy Road to Indiana Dunes National Park | Why is this a National Park?! (RV Chicago)

Discover Indiana Dunes National Park-a unique mix of natural beauty, history, and adventure nestled on Lake Michigan's southern shore! 🌊🌲
In this video, we’ll take you along on our journey, which included a bit of RV drama-our travel trailer’s leaf spring broke somewhere in Indiana! Luckily, we found the most helpful mobile RV repairman to get us back on the road. 🛠️

Before reaching the dunes, we spent a few days exploring Chicago, parking conveniently at the Chicago Convention Center's Truck Marshaling Lot. 🚐 Not glamorous, but perfect for our needs!
At the park, we tackled the famous Three Dunes Challenge 🏞️, strolled along pristine beaches, and explored wetlands teeming with life. We also had an unexpected run-in with a determined robin, who repeatedly tried building a nest on our truck tire! 🐦

You are actually in the state park in part of the video. Both parks have great aspects and they have diverse ecosystems. Thanks for visiting and posting this great video!

Yes!! You're totally right - the 3 Dunes Challenge is located in the state park adjacent to the national park. It's an equally beautiful area for sure 😍😍 thanks so much for watching, we really appreciate it!
