Higgins Lake-Roscommon KOA

Accessible via paved roads, Higgins Lake-Roscommon KOA operates seasonally from May through October with full hookups for RVs up to 92 feet. The campground accepts reservations and allows pets, making it a convenient base for families and RV travelers exploring Michigan's north-central region.

Dense woods surround the smaller KOA property, with mature trees providing natural screening between sites. Most sites feature bare dirt surfaces rather than grass, and utility hookup placement varies—some campers find their water connection positioned across the site from power and sewer hookups, requiring extended hoses. Gary E. notes that site 61 required significant leveling blocks to achieve proper setup.

The campground provides family-oriented amenities including an inflatable slide for children and evening movie screenings. ORV enthusiasts appreciate direct trail access, allowing riders to leave directly from the park—a feature many campgrounds restrict. Firewood delivery is available on-site. Bathhouse conditions vary, with cleanliness appearing to depend on cleaning schedules.

While the campground sits near Higgins Lake, water access requires either driving or a lengthy hike with gear. Northern Nights Family Campground and South Higgins Lake State Park Campground offer alternative accommodation options in the area. This KOA works best for RV campers prioritizing hookup reliability and ORV trail access over immediate lake proximity.

Pretty Campground

Nice campground. Only thing that makes it 4 rather than 5 for me is lake access, required a drive or carrying everything on a lengthy hike.

Nice Campground

Nice Campground, pretty well maintained. close enough to the ORV trails that you can ride to them from the park which is a huge bonus as many parks won't let you unload or ride out of the park. They had a big inflatable slide for kids and movies playing at night. Fire wood delivery. Only downside was I popped in to check out the showers and one bath house the floors were filthy with mud, the other looked like it had just been cleaned, I suspect I looked at them just before cleaning. Also, most sites are bare dirt and our water hook up was on the opposite side of the site from the power and sewer hook up so we had to have a hose running across our site; glad we had an extra hose to use as an extension.
