Have camped here many times and always enjoy it. There are 2 mini cabins for those slightly less adventurous. The cabins have electricity, heat (for winter) a fan ( for warm weather, a mini fridge & microwave. The modern bathrooms with showers are nearby. Higgins Lake is a beautiful, clean spring fed lake that is perfect for little ones as it stays shallow for a great distance out. Nice picnic area, good fishing and nearby hiking trails. Give it a try.
Words cannot describe how beautiful Higgins Lake is, which is why im adding photos with this review. The turquoise crystal clear blue water with white sandy bottoms is so calming for the soul. We love how peaceful the view on the lake from our kayaks was. The boaters were so respectful of kayakers and it was not over crowded on the lake or the beach. If i won the lotto i would live on this lake
Every year we get a little more disappointed. People get louder and louder and quiet time isn't enforced. The food truck is gone. Lots of dogs on the beach this year. The campground itself is nice and the bathrooms and showers have been very clean. Camp host does a craft for the kids. The trail to the lake is not lighted tho, make sure you have a flashlight!! Some rule changes mean you can't drop your kayaks off and park your car at the docks anymore. We may just day trip from now on.
North Higgins Lake State Park is stunning in autumn. The colorful forest and calm lake create a peaceful setting. The trails are well-maintained for leisurely walks, and there are nice spots for picnics. The facilities are basic but clean. It's a great place for nature lovers to relax in Michigan's fall beauty.
Nice campground on the north shore of Higgins Lake. The area is heavily wooded, so most sites are shaded with mature trees. There is a beach, including a pet friendly area, with picnic tables and a playground. The two campgrounds also have playgrounds.
There are modern restrooms and showers that are clean and well maintained. A negative for some might be road noise as the campground is close to the highway. Also, there are no grassy sites due to the trees.
For those with boats, there is a boat ramp with cleaning stations and plenty of parking. They even have an area where you can store your boat if you do not have room on your site.
All in all, a very nice park that I plan to visit again.
