Platte River Campground is a wonderful place to camp. We have a tent and camp in a non-electric site. The sites are well maintained, as well as the bathrooms. I can't thank the employees of PRC enough for their hard work on making this campground one of my favorites. We keep coming back often. I have met people who have been camping here for 30 years. I think that's a testimony on how this campground is loved!

I have stayed at Platte River Campground five times - it is my favorite place to camp. So much to do in the area (hiking, beaches, cycling, paddling, towns, the scenic drive...), and the campground is peaceful with private sites and clean bathrooms/showers and dishwashing stations, even for the walk-in sites.

The shower and restroom facilities are well maintained. Though there are a lot of fellow campers, there was not excessive noise and public areas were very clean.

We stayed in spot 425 for 3 nights the second week of September.
Spot 425 was right next to the restroom, which I hadn't expected. For some reason the map made it appear further away. Anyway, it turned out to be a non-issue. The toilets are modern marvels: flush toilets, sinks with running water and hand dryers and the showers were individual, not communal. Nirvana for a tent camper! Speaking of which, they're available to tent campers (I'm thinking of you, Tippecanoe River State Park.)
All of the sites were relatively large. Site 425 was much lower than the rest of the camp. This is good in that on a breezy night, the breeze was over our heads, keeping us warmer and the fire under control. We also like to quietly play music at night, so the sound didn't travel as easily to the other sites. However, it would have been bad during a large rainstorm. It's basically a rain catch basin. Since all food, or anything with a scent, needs to be kept inside a locked vehicle due to ravenous, ornery raccoons, this meant many trips up and down the hill to our vehicle.
There's a really nice hike at the back of the campground that leads directly to Lake Michigan. The ranger told us it as 3/4 mi, but my smart watch recorded 1.3 mi each way. It's worth it but not for someone with physical limitations as there is about a 1/4 mi of thick sand that's difficult to walk through.
If you're looking for a nicely kept campground with large spots in a remote area with plenty of hiking and water sports, this is for you.
