Beautiful campground! You can’t beat the Lake Michigan coastline all the way up to sleeping Bear dunes! The staff at the Ranger station were very nice and my couple run-ins with cleaning staff were great! The restrooms and showers were very clean. Campsites, trails and roads were maintained very well.

Our experience was made even better by all the welcoming rangers! They spent time engaging in meaningful conversations with our kids about the park. As adults, we appreciated their wealth of knowledge to visit important highlights during our short trip. I highly recommend seeing them to make your trip the best!

Rangers were very friendly, and helped us to find a good adventure for our family. Facilities were clean, showers hot… we even lucked out on the mosquitoes (they were bad the week before we arrived). No complaints. Would visit again if given the chance!

The staff at Platte River Campground were very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. They provided me with a map to easily navigate the campground and find my site. The only complaint I have is that the outdoor temperature was very hot in the low 90s and the extreme heat made hiking very uncomfortable. Next time I visit please have the temperature a little cooler to make hiking more comfortable. I was able to complete four hikes. Pyramid point, sleeping bear dunes hike, Empire Bluff and the Lasso loop. All great hikes with beautiful scenery sleeping bear dune hike was strenuous in the high heat watch out for the flies at Lake Michigan.

I was on a roadtrip without reservations and was able to get site 101. Even though it was at the beginning of the loop, it was very quiet and nice and shady. The site was paved and level. Everything seemed to be fairly new and very well maintained. I would come here again.
