| State Park Overview: |
 | Young State Park is located at the east end of beautiful Lake Charlevoix. The park spans over 560 acres in Charlevoix County and is a mix of gently rolling terrain, lowlands and cedar swamp. Officially opened in 1921, some of the buildings in existence today were built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s and 1940s. |

Great Beach
the beach is very nice, with lots of space to play for the kids and young at heart. the only draw back is the lack of restrooms and showers for the amount of people camping at the park. is kinda of close when getting a camper in a spot. maybe have people park cars off to the side of sites instead of in front of camp site.

The BEST
The other woman giving the review below me is an idiot. She obviously is a city-slicker that would like to see a campground turned into a motel instead. This park is BEAUTIFUL.

| Lake Charlevoix is 17,260 acres and has depths up to 122 feet. It is great for sailing, power-boating, water-skiing, and fishing. The lake offers access to Lake Michigan as well. There is a boat launch within the park for boats under 16 feet in length. |
