Miller will be 767 parking spaces (486 in main "west" lot) and two high platforms. Access from US-12/20 (three entrances west lot, two entrances east lot). A nice station building near the platforms.
Ogden Dunes will be 560 parking spaces (206 on the north side, 354 across the street) and one high platform. Access from US-12 (one entrance per lot - separate exit on north lot). No station building.
Dune Park will be 615 parking spaces (210 in "west" lot but east lot can access east end of platform) one high platform. Access from US-12 with SR-49 feeding US-12 nearby. Two entrances off US-12. A nice station building connected to the high platform.
Michigan City will be ~108 surface parking spaces next to the platform and 20 in the overflow lot on the other side of 11th St. 558 parking spaces in the garage to be shared with 208 residential units (at last report). Not the easiest station to access thanks to Michigan City's aversion to north south through streets, but Pine St will feed the garage and surface parking from US 20 several blocks north of the station. (Hope you like 4 way stops.) Spring St also connects to the surface lot. Station building connected to the north platform.
With the 200 series trains added I believe Miller will be a popular option. I don't expect many people will be driving past any of these stations because the next one is "better" (although personal preferences will exist).
