Platte River Campground is located in the southern district of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore, in the lower peninsula of Michigan.
Camping is available year-round at Platte River Campground. For arrivals from the Friday of Memorial Day weekend to October 1st, reservations can be made for approximately two-thirds of all individual campsites. Group campsites are open from early May to October 1st by reservation only. Loops 1, 2, and 3 have electrical hook-ups. Loop 1 is open year round, while the rest of the campground is open from early May until mid-October.
Campers making reservations for electric campsites pay only the regular campsite fee at the time of reservation. The park collects the additional $5 per night per electric campsite when the visitor arrives at the campground.
