Situated deep within the Pere Marquette Forest, the rustic campground offers 50 campsites near the quiet, calm waters of Goose Lake. The small inland lake offers swimming, boating and good pan fishing. From this secluded campground you can enjoy misty summer mornings or a brilliant display of fall colors. One of the older campgrounds in the State Park System, Young Park has provided outdoor recreation to several generations of camping families. Great boating, swimming and fishing draw these campers back, year after year.
Electricity is available at all campsites.
Modern restroom facilities, hot showers and a dump station are also available from Memorial Day weekend until the snow flies. A stocked pond provides rewarding fishing experiences to junior campers. The park launch facilities provide boating access to both Lake Charlevoix and Lake Michigan. Lucky anglers bring home salmon, lake trout, bluegill and perch. Young and old alike are invited to participate in organized camp programs.
