North Higgins Lake State Park Campground

The beach was great, soft sand bottom, water was clear &amp; cold! Sites can get messy since ground is a dirt/sand mix. Our site location was noisy at times since so close to a main road. Bathrooms could use an update but were still in good working order. I’m pretty sure we’ll be going back next summer!

Great beach & nice size site!

I actually met my wife here for the first time so this is a very sentimental place.

Located pretty far north, Higgins like offers a very spread out experience. With a handful of beach fronts, woods, hammock space, playground equipment, grills, and open space, there’s something for everyone here.

When we visited there was a warning about water quality for some reason so we never actually went swimming, i think it had something to do with bacteria or bugs. For not being able to swim it was a great experience. 

Interesting place!

We stayed in a travel trailer on site 73 the week before the 4th of July week. The park and bathrooms were always clean, showers were clean and had good water pressure. 
They did lose power in the whole park for about 3 hours due to a squirrel chewing through a wire somewhere. 
The beach was nice, water is crystal clear. we will return in the future 

Beautiful campground 

Ive been wanting to paddle Higgins lake for a long time but never did because I know I am not a huge fan of state parks.... especially the large, crowded ones like this. You know what though? This place wasn’t all that bad! It was busy, there was a TON of sites, and not much space between neighbors... but, the sites were heavily wooded, the boat launch/lake was beautiful, and our neighbors were very friendly. So honestly, it could have been much worse. I could see how this place would be ideal for large families and small children. Lots to do and plenty of other kids to play with. Also a great spot for people who use trailers, campers, and pop ups, rather than traditional tents. 

Busy and Bustling 

I stayed at camp site 67. I stayed 3 days in June but that's not enough time to experience what the park has to offer. I am definitely coming back to camp here

Peaceful and Beautiful 

Campground was beautiful and had many trails to walk &amp; bike. We had a nice time walking down to the beach and walking the trails. Beach was very nice and had kayaks and paddle boards available to rent. Campground was pretty quiet at night (we did stay during the week though) &amp; bathrooms were clean. The lake is amazing and would definitely go back!
