The sites were really big, clean, fire pits were cleaned, approximately 30 ft between camp sites. The sites were level, paved. The showers and rest room were close and they were also clean. The state and commercial campgrounds should try to duplicate these campgrounds.
Thank You and keep jus the good work.

Amazing park! Beautiful, clean, and lots to do! The trails are maintained well with great views! Bathrooms are always clean! We kayaked the platte river out to Lake Michigan! The water was pristine! There are light houses close by and we visited fish town, Leland, Frankfort, and the scenic trail! My only complaint would be that the camp host did absolutely nothing with the kids! Just a sign by his trailer let us know there was even one there? Love this park the rangers were also very knowledgeable and kind! Will definitely be visiting again!(if we can get in! It took a lot of effort to get a spot!)

The place was awesome! The bathrooms were cleaned daily and the bearboxes were a nice touch!! The walk to the lake was a little far, but for $22/night, you cannot complain!

Best campground ever! I highly recommend the walk in sites. The regular campground is a bit crowded. Bathrooms are clean and all the staff is friendly. Best place to camp in the Midwest!
