The beach has a concession stand with basic snacks, flush toilets, shower house and kayak rental. The campground is your typical Michigan State Park design - just double check your RV length. Would highly recommend stopping here any time of the year. Great place to spend a day at the beach.

I felt like I've known her forever. She felt absolutely bad when the rustic cabins were not what we expected as a family. I asked for an upgrade to the nice king condos. She found one open for us to stay. We loved the place so much. It had a fully stocked kitchen. Full size fridge/ stove,and a microwave. A set of adorable bunk beds,then a queen size room. It was just super cozy and clean! Had a nice deck with chairs and even a ceiling fan outside. They had a fire pit and a nice 8 person table and chairs near the fire pit. Maria even let us borrow a golf cart for free for the week. What fun! I took a ride everyday. Alicia was so sweet to do a potoskey stone class for us ,and a tie dye class , even though they were not scheduled. She arranged for boo- boo bear came out to join my husband and girls on the ' Hey, hey" ride. ( it's a tractor pulling a wagon) and he drives around the campground and give the campers a ' Hey hey" So fun and creative! We absolutely had a wonderful week there at potoskey jellystone resort . We hadn't been camping for 3 years. Thank you Maria and Alicia for your love,and kindness you shown us. I hope to be back in fall. Sincerely, the Lindens ​​​​ Stayed June 21st - 26th 2026

There is firewood and ice at the check-in station which is very convenient. T h e grounds are well maintained and the vault toilet stalls are mostly clean (though can become odiferous when the park is full). It is usually the case that visitors to the rustic parks are more respectful of the quiet. We are bird watchers and always love spying the eagles and variety of other birds in the area. Close to the town of Charlevoix, there are plenty of options for sight seeing, eating and finding supplies. Beautiful area of our state.

The park is secluded, and we only saw about 5 others there during the duration of our stay. It appears that because this location is not so heabily populated, you can find some Charlevoix and Petoskey rocks in the water as wel as on the rock bed. You just have to know what to look for. I suggest finding a walking stick for the water. It helps guide you, and it helps you move some rocks. The next time I come here I definitely want to bring a sifter because I saw so many cute tiny ones with the rock pile. My twchnique was to pull the ones near the water down, and I found quite a bit this way. James used the stick to look in the water, where you will find medium to large rocks. Overall the secluded atmosphere is soothing and relaxing.
