Overall a nice experience
I was in 3 different sites which was no issue- I got to experience the camp from different areas
Kids on bikes are very loud especially at night and they tend to congregate near the restroom

We had not been to Platte River Campground in over 12 years. It was just as clean, safe and beautiful as always!

Absolutely beautiful park. The bathrooms are always clean, the sink room is a great help. I wish there was a bike path between the loops that didn’t require the main road.

Site was able to handle our 23 ft camper and our truck. Very quiet campground. Nicely spaced sites.

We were able to check-in early on a very hot day which was much appreciated! Everything was clean, easy & enjoyable - loved all the mature trees & privacy between campsites!

My home-base campground! The hosts and rangers are always wonderful, other campers usually very respectful, sites well-kept and most are very private. We weren't able to hike or bike much this trip, due to the heat. And Otter Creek (Esch Rd) beach was super crowded, since it's the only beach dogs are able to hang out in at this time of year due to expanding Piping Plover nesting. But these are circumstantial events. Love this campground and SBDNL.

Beautiful site! It is up a hill so the last 20 yards or so are a bit of a trek. Bathrooms were clean and close enough. Showers were also clean and easily accessible.
Bear box is set down the hill but is very large for a single campsite.
If you're going to the beaches be sure to check out the direction of the wind. If the wind is coming from the south any north facing beach will have biting flies. Try the east facing beaches where the Platt River comes into the lake or in Empire.
Tubing down the Platt was a lot of fun!
The Jr. Ranger Program is top notch and open to anyone from 0 to 110!
AT&T and T-Mobile both had cell reception throughout the campground and most of the Lakeshore.
