McCarthy Beach State Park Group Campground offers rustic tent camping on a bluff overlooking Sturgeon Lake, with water access via an adjacent boat landing suitable for shallow-draft boats and excellent for paddlers and boaters.

The facility includes water spigots and vault toilets, though no shower access, and sits on the chain of five interconnected lakes in the Sturgeon Lake system.

A nearby picnic pavilion can be rented alongside the group camp, making it ideal for larger gatherings seeking secluded waterfront camping.
