McCarthy Beach State Park Group Campground offers rustic tent camping on a bluff overlooking Sturgeon Lake, featuring water spigots, vault toilets, and excellent sunset views—ideal for groups seeking a secluded experience with easy water access via the adjacent boat landing.

The campground is located on the Sturgeon Lake chain of five interconnected lakes, making it popular with boaters and paddlers, though note that showers are not available and the wooded sites are designed primarily for tent camping.

Reservations are required and the facility operates seasonally; contact (218) 254-7979 or visit the Minnesota State Parks reservation system.
