Yankee Springs Recreation Area State Park, Michigan, United States

Good campground
Overall, this is a good place to camp. We reserved a spot ahead of time because we wanted to be as secluded as possible. A lot of the camp sites are really close together/on top of each other, so if you want a good site definitely book ahead of time. I knocked off 1 star because of how stinky the toilets were. There aren’t that many to choose from, either. The inside of the actual vault toilet building was clean, but SO stinky (and I have used many vault toilets over the years, this was probably the smelliest). One thing I liked was how many times we saw the park rangers checking out things. It was SO quiet at night, even on the fully booked weekend we stayed. Didn’t hear anyone making noise or partying. Very family friendly place to stay. Deep Lake was also clean and very pretty, but didn’t seem too good for fishing. We didn’t catch much at Deep Lake and neither did anyone else we talked to on the lake. Nice swimming beach a short drive away at the main Yankee Springs park.

Great hiking trails
We enjoyed a brief hike through the snow-covered woodland trails near Gun Lake. Paths were clearly marked. We saw a gentleman snowshoeing and plenty of cross-country ski paths. Beautiful area for a short or long hike in nature.

Beautiful Park and Beach !
Great beach areas and perfect for social distancing while enjoying a few hours by the water. We came back later and took a long walk, too.... even saw deer wondering in the open areas of the park. They do have a small fishing pier, but no luck catching anything! Great place to launch your boat, too!
