We camped in this perfect campground in early October, Loop 1, site 121 paved pull-through with 30 amp hookup. Our rate was $18.00 per night with our Senior Pass. The site was level and included a picnic table, fire ring, with plenty of shade. Clean restrooms and free hot showers were nearby, water and trash receptacles were located at the restroom area. The campground was full, yet very peaceful, and located within a heavily wooded area. A 1.2 mile easy hiking trail to the beach was located next to our campsite. The beach area was very nice, we found a tree log on the beach to sit and watch the waves roll in. This is one of the nicest National Parks Campgrounds I have ever visited, and would definitely stay here again.

This is an excellent campground that is surrounded by lots of outdoor activities. The sites are a lot bigger than state parks. The showers are clean and staff is helpful. I will definitely be back.

This campground has everything we expect from a national park campground -- large, well-spaced sites and and excellent location for accessing trails, beaches, and waterways -- and more. This is one of very few NPS campgrounds to offer electric service AND bathhouses with clean, modern flush toilets and individual shower rooms. As an added bonus, there is also good cell coverage at the campground. On ATT we measured 30-40 down, 5 up. Honestly, there is nothing bad to say about this campground. RV sites are paved and ours was perfectly level. There are plenty of long sites for larger rigs -- I recommend backins instead of the pull-thoughs which tend to be quite tight and better for smaller rigs. There are large, well-maintained pads with a picnic table, fire ring, and plenty of room for tents or canopies. The pads tend to be set back from the main sites, making the sites feel enormous. Electric service was flawless. Potable water is available at the dump station and at locations throughout the camping loops. There are bathhouses on every loop with private unisex toilets and shower rooms. The park offers recycling. The campground is directly on the Platte Plains trail network. It is an easy, level walk of about 1 mile from loop 1 (the furthest loop) to the beach, and the trail system covers about 15 miles. There is a canoe launch across from the campground entrance, and an outfitter on the other side of the river for people who want to do one-way float trips. The campground is also fairly close to the Point Betsie lighthouse and the Old Indian Trail system. It's about 10 miles north to the main visitor center at Empire and less than 25 miles north to the very tip of park property. We found the location to be excellent for exploring the park, especially since some of the lesser-known (but equally scenic) spots near the campground were a lot less crowded than the famous Dune Climb or Pierce Stocking Drive. Groceries, gas, laundry, etc. are readily available in Benzonia, Frankfort, Empire, and other towns within 5-10 miles of the campground.

Sites are spacious. However, we didn't see much privacy even with the trees. Loved having electric. Even when busy, the park felt peaceful. The said our site had a maximum of 30 feet. Our fifth wheel is 31 ft and truck is 20 ft which we parked sideways. Plenty of room.

We were very happy staying here. It was easy to find and all the roads are nicely paved. The spot has plenty of space from our neighbors and the pad is almost perfectly level. The fire ring and picnic table are just above the pad and were clean and well maintained. There is a really nice, short hike at the end of the campground loop that takes you to the water and a small sandy beach. The rest of the dunes are within driving distance along with a few small towns for any supplies.
