There is so much to see in this national park! The scenic loop is a must --some stops are positively breathtaking! We experienced some high winds at the overlook but that did not stop us from venturing out on the decks. Stay on the paths though.... There are picnic areas at overlooks and we were astonished by the dunes themselves!... More

We were amazed at how beautiful the scenic loop was when we visited Sleeping Bear Dunes. There are 12 spots to visit where you can get out, look around and take some fabulous pictures. The quiet woods were just as gorgeous as the scenic views of the dunes and Lake Michigan. We wish we would've had more time to spend... More

This is a really good place to visit either with families, couples or single as I did last week. There is a lot to see and do. The Dunes are great to visit, climb, view sunsets, have a picnic, etc .... The new bike trail they have through the park is excellent and can be used by the whole family... More

We visited Sleeping Bear Dunes for the past 5 days and camped at the Platte River Campground. For starters, the campground has very nice wooded sites and very clean bathrooms. There are a series of hiking trails, one of which leads to the Lake Michigan shoreline and it was a very quiet, scenic place to hang out. When we drove... More

we had little time to spare, but very much enjoyed the sights; would have liked more time to explore the dune as well as the town of Glen Arbor.

This place is most for families. There i so much to do and see. If you like to camp you have to check out Platte River Campground, it is awesome. Visit the beach and lighthouse at Empire, the Cherry Republic in Glen Arbor, and Pierce stocking drive are must sees. Be sure to go the overlook at Pierce stocking at... More

I was intrigued by the proclamation that Good Morning America voted this the most beautiful place in America. Being a big fan of, and passbook stamp collector of the National Park Service, this was a must see. We went over Memorial Day weekend. Great weather. There are many trails, and a very good scenic drive. There is also a restored... More
