Hiking and biking from the campsite was great. Very nice trails and roads. Swimming was great in Lake Michigan and easy to access from a short bike or hike. Restrooms very clean and loved the sink area for cleaning dishes. Very clean and well kept park.

We had a fantastic camping experience! The restrooms were clean and well-maintained, with running water and nice showers. There was even a separate room for washing kitchen supplies, which was very convenient. The camping spots were well-separated, offering plenty of privacy, and the location was close to a trail that leads to Lake Michigan.
One thing to note: the electrical connection is a bit far from the campsites, so if you’re tent camping, you’ll likely need a long extension cord. However, it’s perfectly suited for trailers.
Overall, we were very happy with the experience and would highly recommend it. We’d go back in a heartbeat!

Well-maintained campground with a good amount of shade but sites are fairly close together with little foliage between sites. The tent pad and picnic table area are in addition to the stated driveway length so the sites feel very spacious. Be cautious when selecting a pull-through site as they have a significant bend in the driveway and trees along each side that make them more difficult to maneuver than a back-in site. Great access to Platte Lake and Lake Michigan for those with boats. Just a short drive to enjoy sunsets and the beach along Lake Michigan.

If you are in a tent be prepared to hear air conditioners running all night in the RVs around you.
Well maintained park.

Platte river campground never disappoints. I’ve been coming here since I was 7 I am now almost 40 and this is still one of my favorite places in the world. Try the walk in campsites for a backpack type way to camp with conveniences of showers and real bathrooms. The beaches, dune climb, scenic drive, sunset at the lighthouse, and kayaking the platte are definitely my must sees.

I absolutely LOVE the Sleeping Bear Dunes Platte River Campground!! It is our favorite place to camp! The campground itself is beautiful, most sites have good privacy, the restrooms are well maintained, and the entire surrounding area is beautiful with lots of sites to see, beaches to enjoy and small towns to visit!

Beautiful campground, well tended. Friendly rangers, clean restrooms, great showers in newer part of the campground. Paths to Lake Michigan, or a short drive to the joining of the Platte and the "big" lake.
