ScoutPlatte River state forest campground
Very nice but basic. Rustic camping in a beautiful setting.
ScoutWhite Pines Backpacking
We stayed in Platte River Campground the first night and it was great! We had a beautiful spot. Then we opted to backpack into the white pines backpack camp- BEST DECISION EVER. We spent uninterrupted beach time, were awaken by how bright the stars were and when we left the calm still silence of the pines- we realized how much we longed to turn right around and go back.
Guidenice
very nice state forest campground with large sites right on the beautiful platte river. can get crowded on summer weekends. off season and weekdays you might have the place to yourself. can get muddy if there’s been a lot of rain.
