Sleeping Bear Dunes campground

I had never been to Sleeping Bear Dunes before and I choose this campground based solely off of online choices. Also it was further south so I had less driving to catch the ferry back to WI the next morning.

I was very surprised at the well set up campsites and roads into the campground. Staff was very friendly, but this was also the beginning of the season, so the place wasn't busy either.

I was very surprised to find there are free showers available and they were actually warm! The site itself was moderately large. I could have fit 2 4 person tents comfortably or 3 smaller tents. Maybe more if you don't use the fire ring. The site was also fairly isolated from neighboring sites, I could hear other people but not see them for the most part.

There is also a trail that leads to Lake Michigan at one of the campground that was very nice.
