Here's USA Today's praise for Platte River Campground,

Platte River Campground is located within walking distance of both the river and the beaches of Lake Michigan, within the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore on the lower peninsula of Michigan. Each campsite has a fire ring and picnic table, with restrooms and showers available in each camp section. For more primitive campers, the White Pine "backcountry" campground is available on a nearby trail.

The National Park Service says they've heard Platte River Campground referred to as "the Cadillac of all campgrounds".

In terms of amenities, Platte River Campground also trash/ recycling collection, Internet connectivity, food storage lockers, firewood for sale, picnic shelters, a fish cleaning station, grills, and an amphitheater.

The campground's location makes it ideal for folks who want to hike, canoe, kayak, swim, bike, and fish -- or just take in the gorgeous Michigan landscape!

It's also located off one of the most scenic highways in the nation, M-22.
