McCarthy Beach State Park Group Campground offers rustic tent camping on a bluff overlooking Sturgeon Lake with excellent sunset views and easy water access via an adjacent boat landing for shallow-draft boats.
The facility includes water spigots and vault toilets but no showers, making it ideal for groups seeking a secluded camping experience with direct lake access for boating and paddling.
The nearby picnic pavilion can be rented in conjunction with the group camp, and the location provides access to the Sturgeon Lake chain of five interconnected lakes popular with water recreation enthusiasts.
