When I was there in the mid-1970s, there were campgrounds right at the dunes; a state park, I think. I remember the ambitious of our crowd went climbing the dunes in the dark, and they were right there where we could see them coming down.
Yes, Plate river National park. tubing, hiking, swiming, clean, nice sites.
There is a nice State campground in Traverse City. Not to far of a drive to Sleeping Bear Dunes.
