We love the Higgins Lake campground. We have been camping here for the last three years and ever year they are upgrading the park. The rest rooms are clean and the staff are excellent. Dakota the maintenance guy is really nice. He goes around the park saying hi and making sure you are enjoying your stay.
Been coming here 6 years staying most the summer and this weekend was our last time going.
They implemented new rules and you now have to pay per visitor. Had visitors whom did NOT stay with us & just came to go boating with us. $8 per person not per vehicle every time they come in. $10 for a gate key.
It’s already almost $100 per site for our camper seems like a key would come with the site for free.
My daughter had a tent site and had a broken picnic table.
Had friends staying there and they had to rent a site for a boat. Before these new owners there was a boat parking lot for free.
Quite, clean campgrpund with friendly hosts. Large sites with lots of trees. They sell pizza & ice cream! Dakota was very helpful during our stay.
After reading the reviews I was a little worried about staying here but it was better than the reviews lead you to believe. The young lady working when we checked in was very friendly and helpful. The camp store was really nice with lots of nice items and snacks.
You can tell they are putting money into the place and looks like they are slowly remodeling it.
The bathrooms could use a little more cleaning. When we showed up they were really clean and by the end of our stay they were starting to get dirty. You could tell they hadn't been cleaned as the same stuff was there the next day. But it wasn't as bad as the reviews lead you to believe. Also have to remember guest can big pigs too.
Overall a decent place and look forward to seeing what improvements they continue to make.
Also feel like if you bring things to the staffs attention they try their best to fix/accommodate you. Everyone was very friendly that worked there.
Our first year as a seasonal camper, great campground! Well maintained by Dakota a very friendly and helpful guy!!
I would seriously reconsider if you are thinking of booking here. The campsites are tiny, you will be right on top of your neighbor. The shower facilities are a joke, good luck finding a shower head that actually works how it should. The worst part is the customer service.
I was told by the front desk staff/reception staff that I would receive for cancelling my spot within the 14-day timeframe. I have waited over 3 weeks to hear from someone. I was never told I would be paying 100% of the cost of my reservation until check-in day, otherwise we would have never let the spot go. I understand that it may have been an oversight of the worker at my time of cancellation that I came in on a holiday weekend. But the woman I spoke with, we had to revisit my reservations 3 times before I could cancel since when I tried to do it online myself it was going to make me cancel all three spaces. We had several family members in town that weekend and could have used the extra space if we weren’t going to get our money back, which she had reassured me I would receive back 100% of my expenses. The weekend at your facility for our first trip was less than satisfactory due to the customer service and lack there of available being short handed that weekend. Multiple times there was no one at the store during business hours, no signs up, or closed early. My sister even injured herself on the bathroom doors that have nails exposed, tried to get first aid and no one was there… again. It seems like a little response would go a long way for an company who got kicked out of the KOA community, as well as having their customer service line ironically be labeled customer satisfaction. It appears you have no concern for the experiences of families and have no character in following up or following through with your promises.
We had a very relaxing family vacation here. Three campsites total were in our group. We had such a lovely time. We were outside almost the whole time even during light rain. The sites were pull through with full hook-ups. This is a very sandy campground but every campground in the area is and we knew it would be.
The staff, Courtney and her new trainee (sorry i can't remember her name) made the visit so much more enjoyable. They were helpful when our hose sprung some leaks and gave us a loner to use. The store has many helpful items in it and a gift shop too. The ice cream was delicious and fresh so we walked up to the store every day. The wood they sell is nice and dry for burning.
We did not stay in the cabins but we did look inside one. They are so cute and efficient little cabins. They also have yurts!
It doesn't have tons of extras but we don't camp for that. We camp to be outside together. We've been here before and will be back again.
Note- the online booking site showed the campground almost full but it was mostly empty. I'm sure that the reason why is the booking site being wrong. We notified them at the check-in desk about the problem and told them that's probably why there weren't many campers.
Location was good, close to Higgins lake and downtown Roscommon. Our campsite had no grass and all dirt, there were large leaf piles all around the campground including in the roads. The people next to us had sewage coming up from the ground on their campsite. The bathrooms were gross and we never saw anyone clean them. At the very least a campground should have clean facilities which this one did not. Would not recommend and will not stay again.
