I have stayed at DH Day a number of times, and want to love it (the location is great!), but they sure do make it difficult. I know that they have no control over the weather, but it is how situations are dealt with (or not) that is troublesome. Our site had a huge muddy puddle at the entrance for the duration of our week-long stay. Our first day, I asked at the ranger station if there were any boards around we could use to make a walkway for us and our two dogs. It was Saturday, and there was no access to the maintenance shed; nothing they could do to help us. I went to the hardware store and got a wooden pallet, and when we put it in the driveway, the staff became more concerned about the possibility that we were going to leave it behind than anything else. We were actually told we needed to take it with us when we left. (We broke it down and properly disposed of the soggy, muddy thing.) There is so much poison ivy that there was no way to skirt around the area to avoid the water without traipsing through it. There is no way that there is no administrative awareness of this site (and likely many others) having this issue, yet nothing is done to address it. Bring in a grader and some pea gravel! They just repaved all of Platte River; show D.H. Day some TLC. All trash and recycling have be brought to the front of the campground due to wildlife, which requires the mostly tent campers to walk their trash out every night (I referred to the nightly parade of trash bag-carrying campers as the Trash Zombies).The fill level of the vaults is hit or miss. They seem to be emptied as needed, when very full, so the ones near our site were good, while the ones in other locations were disgustingly full. This is a very kid-friendly campground (bewildering, considering the copious amount of poison ivy), so if you have kids, you're all good, and if you prefer to not hear the sounds of children at all levels, at all times, you might want to consider camping elsewhere.

I came late on Sat am and was lucky enough to get the best spot on FF. All of spits on lake are awesome though. Tranquility is how I would describe it with excellent friendly hosts. BR clean too! Loved it.

Lovely setting, quiet, perfect for our small teardrop.

Very helpful ranger helped us check in, recommended a "no generator zone" evenly graded site for our tent set up. Campground is in a nice location next to the lake.

Sites are nice and secluded. Just beware of lol the poison ivy!

Best campground ever. Long Beach days, bike rides to town in the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail, sunsets from the top of the dunes. Our annual trip is my favorite time of year.
