My summer camping at Highland Recreation area was something else! Woke up to a surprise breakfast buffet – compliments of a grass-munching rabbit right outside my tent! Later that evening, I had a magical moment where I saw the most beautiful raccoon I’ve ever seen! It even dove into the dumpster! Forget nature documentaries, this state park offers front-row seats to raccoon athleticism. To top off all the excitement, my dog tried to make friends with a skunk. The skunk had a different idea. This park gets a perfect ten, not just for the beautiful area, but also because the staff is so hot, they could melt the ice in Antarctica. It's like a nature retreat with bonus eye candy – highly recommend for the views, both scenic and staff-related!
