Walk-in campsite was very nice. Be prepared to carry your camping items a distance. You cant use a wagon to help you. The distance is stated in the site description. The bear lockers were great to put coolers and all food or scented items in. Ample space. The bathrooms were very nice and recently updated in the Walk-In area. There are private shower areas that have a locked door. Everything is kept very clean and sanitized each day. There is a camp sink room, so bring a bag or something to carry your dirty dishes. Have a dishpan or pot to wash things in. It is located in the area where you park your car and between the two showers. The door is labeled. The hikes are wonderful. Empire Bluff and Pyramid Point have beautiful views of Lake Michigan. The water looks like the Caribbean. The Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive is well worth it. One of the stops is a hiking trail. As you come into Platte River Campground the Ranger Station is where you check in to camp. They have trail info there. You can walk to Lake Mich from a path by the restrooms. Also, you can drive to Lake Michigan in 5 minutes - just ask ranger where it is. It is great to see the sunset from there. Be sure and bring most of your food. There is no grocery store close to the camp. There are some items at the Platte River Canoe Rental place 1/4 mile from the camp, They also have ice.

A beautiful campground with access to an amazing beach! This time, there were modern bathrooms for all the camping loops.

Loved the hike in camping. Just secluded enough and the walk wasn’t too bad back to the bathrooms/cars. We’d pick this every day over state campgrounds in MI!
