I'll be honest that I only scratched the surface of Sleeping Bear Dunes.

I had planned on doing much more paddling and hiking there, but had a tent shock cord blowout the morning before heading there.

So I spent that morning tracking down a repair kit and then 3 hours repairing my tent once I arrived.

Still the beach that was a 1.1 mile walk from the Campground was beautiful and practically empty.

I also check out Esch Beach on my way, which was also gorgeous.

Only rule I thought was interesting was not being allowed to was dishes at your site.

But they did provide a camp sink by the restrooms for communal use!
