Sleeping Bear Dunes RV Parks suggestions

Looking for some recommendations? We do have the Federal senior lifetime pass if there is a Federal Park up there. Did some Google searches but looking for reviews.

Nothing is better than staying in the park itself at Platte River campground - IF you can get a reservation. It's extremely popular. The other in the park is DH Day a little farther north. Both are great. We volunteered 9 seasons at Platte River and also on South Manitou Island giving the lighthouse tours.

Explore this whole web site for lots of good information on things to do, camping, special alerts, etc. That whole area is absolutely gorgeous with unique small towns to poke around. Be sure to rent a canoe for a gentle float down the Platte River which ends at Lake Michigan. Beautiful beaches, too.

Yes thanks twogypsies it is a gem up there. We have been up both sides of the state but not since having the motorhome. Any particular site you like in that park that will accommodate a 37' MH?
