Yankee Springs Deep Lake Rustic Campground

"Nice quiet campground. Price is great, lots of trails and the lake. People here are always friendly too."

"I love camping with no hookups. We did run our quiet generator. Our site D6 was not level, but we made it work for our 30 ft. camper. Enjoyed the tent campers near us. Very cool at night and quiet. Only negative was very stinky vault toilets. Took my seat wipes, cinnamon apple spray, hand sanitizer and mask and survived. The host or ranger is not cleaning regularly from what I saw at 2 vault toilets."

"Deep Lake Unit is a wonderful rustic campground at Yankee Springs Recreational Area. We thoroughly enjoyed camping here. Site D70 was very nice and overlooked the lake from atop a hill and through a few trees. Many trails to walk and a trail directly from your campsite will lead along the water to the boat launch and fishing pier only about a 10 minute walk away. Mosquitos were not bad for mid-June but wear bug spray as we did find one deer tick on us (don't let that discourage!). Very friendly park staff always willing to give good suggestions on trails to hike or bike, or where the fish are biting. We will definitely return to camp here. Much more relaxed and in with nature than the modern sites, although equally nice in amenities if that's what you're looking for. Fun beach and water slide over at Gun Lake (still in same park), only a short 10 minute car ride away. A+++ Michigan State Park!"

"Excellent rustic camping at State Park. Has miles of walking trails, biking trails and a quite lake for small slow boats for fishing and kayaking, no swimming. Also has nice fishing dock. Plenty of natural scenery. Very spacious camp sites."
