Platte River Campground — Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore
Reviewed Sep. 22, 2022

Hike-to camping is a must

The group hike-to site was phenomenal. Enough of a walk so you feel like you’re in nature but not too far. Every G site has a bear box and you can hear the coyotes howling at night. The bathrooms are extremely clean and modern. Individual showers and there’s a plug in the bathroom for hair dryers. It’s close to a beach and the river is fun to kayak down. My only gripe is that I got stranded needing a jump and rangers wouldn’t jump it… so I need get one of those jump battery packs :-) there’s not much around but there is a bit of Verizon service.
