First time visitor to this campground and it was awesome. Stayed in loops 1 & 4. Loop 1 had a great site, clean restrooms, and the amphitheater was a great place to walk my dog. Loop 4 just exceeded all expectations. Site was amazing and the sites arent too close together. Restrooms and showers clean and close and overall Platte River campground was a great place to stay.

Its a beautiful campground with well spaced sites. Very peaceful. Our only negative experience occurred when we were visited by the park ranger because someone complained that we used a generator. We DID NOT use a generator, but apparently because we had some issues with the electric when we arrived they assumed it was us. They promptly came out to make sure electric was working promptly.
Excellent

Platte river is one of our favorite campgrounds. The sites are all spacious and private. The bath houses are always clean.

Very nice campground. Bathrooms were clean and the showers hot. Lots of people who were pleasant to be around. Close to the National Seashore and the Platte River Point.

it's a beautiful campground. First time here in the warm weather. We stayed in loop 1 - and the sites were much closer together than what I anticipated (For a national park). We were in site 140 - and there was a camper right across the road, parallel to us, so our entire view was their trailer. Next time we will stay in loop 4, where the sites seem more spread apart (no hook ups, but that is ok with us!). It all depends what you're looking for, and we just wanted a bit more space between units and a little less noise.
On the good side - it's well maintained park, and the trail to lake michigan is just spectacular. Our dogs were able to run on the beach and it was just gorgeous. Great loops for walking the dogs and the proximity to the wonder of northern Michigan are at your beck and call.

Love the NP on Platte River. My concern is the reservation system. I had been checking from Aug to Oct for a site with electricity for at least 4 nights, not worth the trip of over 500 miles for less, and could not find any. There were sites available for one night, and if I wanted to change site everyday could have meet my criteria. I feel if this was a private business they would find a way to not have all these single sites open when plenty of people are looking to stay a little longer. I am a retired person, finally and do not wish to plan my lifer out 6 month in advance.

Campsites were clean and spacious. Park Rangers were very helpful and wonderful with our kid's numerous questions! Bathrooms were very clean. We will definitely go back!
