Excellent campground, we tent camp. There are clean bathrooms with two showers in each bathhouse. We showered between 6-7 and never had to wait. Spots are all in wooded areas. There is a trail to Lake Michigan behind the campground. Staff is extremely helpful. We have been coming 29 years with friends and we are now excited to be sharing it with our young children.

We always enjoy our time at this campground. Sites are private enough. Staff is excellent and bathrooms are cleaned at least daily. I was happy to see firewood bundles this year. The only negative was the amount of campers who felt justified bringing dogs that yapped or barked constantly, howled repeatedly, or barked at every single passerby. Seriously, if your dog is going to be an audio nuisance, find a doggy day care and be quiet neighbors.

A beautiful campground with access to an amazing beach! This time, there were modern bathrooms for all the camping loops.

Stayed in site 306 for a week. The site is nice and level. Closest to the bathroom which mean more foot traffic but convenient. The bathroom/showers were nice. The only recommendation I would give would be to have the cleaning times on a posted schedule. There seemed to be no rhyme or reason when they would clean which was a bit of a problem at times. We had a 25 day trip and this was one week of that 25 days. This park was by far the best camping of the entire trip. The state parks were all very crowded and small unlevel and unpacked sites. We would stay here again.

Despite being difficult to make a reservation due to it being popular, the campground itself was great. It was dark and quiet at night, as it should be. Bathrooms and showers were clean! It was close to the activities we wanted to do. Make sure to check out Platte River Point for swimming in the river and Lake Michigan! We plan on returning because we didn't get to do everything we wanted to in the area.
