    Timber Ridge RV & Recreation Resort

    Busy, fun-filled place

    If you are looking for a camping getaway, this may not be the place for you. It is always bustling with action, but can be lots of fun! I would definitely say this is geared more towards children and families than an escape into nature. There is a camp store, turbo bikes, a variety of family activities, a pool, playground, bike park, equipment and rentals, laundry facility, cabins, cottages, and yurts for rent. This is also a pet friendly campground, so there are many dogs. Probably one of my favorite parts was dodgeball... and the multiple bike trails that connect to the VASA trail system.

    Rvino - Camp Cadillac, LLC

    Not fancy, but nice

    Really nice little campground. Not fancy, but clean and well kept. Pool and petting zoo for the kids. Small store with ice, few necessities and ice cream. Pond in the back on the small river for fishing. Quite a few seasonal campers. Anywhere from rustic to full hook up. Pet friendly. All gravel/dirt/grass sites. Most have trees. Fire pits quite small. Bathrooms very nice and updated.

    Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park & Resort at Grayling

    Themed Weekends!

    I love going to the Halloween themed weekends with trick-or-treating at the campground. People decorate their sites, dress up, and hand out candy. Great campground filled with wonderful staff, a cute camp store, hiking and biking trails, wild berries, mini golf, a pool, and plenty of activities! Afforable, easy to find, and I’ll definitely be back.

    One of my favorite parts is the outdoor cartoon theater. You sit on logs, blankets or camp chairs if you're in the back and watch cartoons on the big screen. It reminds me of the drive-in movie theaters. Sometimes, if you're lucky, you'll even run into Yogi Bear himself!

    Tent, RV, Camper, Cabins and Cottage sites/rentals are available with bathrooms, showers, and a dump station.

    Devoe Lake Rustic Campround — Rifle River Recreation Area

    Spacious, Quiet, Relaxing

    We were greeted at the gate by an extremely helpful and knowledgeable gentleman. He provided good directions, and helped us with our Rec Pass.

    The site was easy to find, spacious, and had adequate distancing from other campers. It included a fire pit and picnic table too.

    The lake was serene in the early mornings and evenings. Listen for the woeful call of the loons. What a treat!

    Word of caution, the raccoons start partying as soon as you bed down. Make sure your food and trash is adequately covered/contained.

    Campground has vault toilets. We never used them but good to know they have them.

    Very nice grounds and amenities

    Paved roads good for bike riding. Nice and level site. Well maintained grounds, with a fire pit and picnic table. State park, so no WiFi. AT&T is 1 bar. Restroom and showers are updated and clean.

    Perfect family campground

    This campground has very nice amenities for families. There is a pool, outdoor movies, horseshoes, inflatable blob (kids love the blob), putt putt, sand box, small bikes to rent and a nice store and lodge on site.

    We actually stayed here in a cabin to celebrate our anniversary. It is a nice campground with well spaced out sites. I would recommend the single room cabins, they are affordable and have a cute front porch - the bed was even comfortable.

    Timber Ridge RV & Recreation Resort

    Excellent Location with Lots of Activities

    We were searching for a super last minute campground near Traverse City for Memorial Weekend and everything within a quick drive seemed booked. I called up Timber Ridge to check if anything came available and they offered an RV site that we could use for our tents. It was a miracle!

    The campgrounds were easy to navigate and even with all the activities available it never seemed too busy or too crowded or too loud. our campsite (although surrounded by RVs was perfect size and spot for 4 of us camping with 2 tents and an SUV loaded down with kayaks.

    The RV spot had electric and water so we were able to take advantage of that to keep portable devices charged and clean dishes we’d brought along. and the campsite comes with a fire ring (with attached grill) and picnic table.

    Would definitely come back here next time we’re in the area!

    Herrick Recreation Area

    Quiet, wooded sites

    Nice little county campground, under the canopy of trimmed pine trees. Lots were large, no issues with backing in our 36’ TT with 2 slides (make sure to clean your slides from the pine needles before you go). Fire pits were small And installed in ground, electrical was up to 30amp, and sites were all dirt for most part. They do have sites in front of the park (outside the loops) that is grass but in full sun. It is pet friendly. They have a few spots for fishing, but if you would Luke to swim, you will have to go across the street to the day use (still included with your stay) beach. Only real issues we had (just me) was starting around 9:30-10, the rangers would drive around the loops every 10-15 minutes until midnight (probably longer, but that’s when we turned in) and their lights from the pickup would blind us. In the back end of the park there was 4-5 loops and the loops are the size of a roundabout. So every time the truck would go into any of the loops it would constantly shine in your eyes when you are trying to enjoy the fire.


Guide to Roscommon

Cabins near Roscommon, Michigan provide access to outdoor recreation in the Huron National Forest area at elevations ranging from 1,100 to 1,300 feet. The region experiences distinct seasons with summer temperatures averaging 75-85°F during peak camping months from June through August. Winter cabin rentals remain available at several locations when temperatures drop below freezing.

What to do

Hiking at Hartwick Pines: Explore old growth forest trails with educational elements. "There is a small lake for fishing, an old logging community with some programming in busier months," notes a visitor to Hartwick Pines State Park Campground.

River tubing: Float the AuSable River from access points near cabin rentals. A visitor who did the 4-hour tubing trip at Paddle Brave Canoe Livery & Campground reported "the river was beautiful and the whole experience was smooth and well-organized."

Winter activities: Several cabin rentals remain open year-round for cold-weather exploration. One camper mentioned Hartwick Pines is "open all year, nice park, big rig friendly, has full hookups. We enjoy hiking here."

What campers like

Privacy between sites: Many cabin areas offer wooded settings with adequate spacing. At North Higgins Lake State Park Campground, a reviewer who stayed in site 101 noted "Little more privacy than the rest. We stayed at site 101 which backed up to the woods which was lovely."

Water clarity: Higgins Lake is known for exceptional water quality. One camper at South Higgins Lake State Park Campground described "extremely clear water (see video) and very large, there are 2 sandbar areas which are very popular providing 3-4 feet water to hangout in."

Themed events: Several cabin rental locations host special weekends throughout the season. A camper at Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park mentioned "We stayed here last fall for a Halloween weekend. There were a lot of kids, it was pretty full. It was nice of the staff to take us to our site and ask if we needed anything."

What you should know

Cell service limitations: Coverage varies significantly throughout the region. At North Higgins Lake, a camper warned "Don't expect to make phone calls, the cell service (AT&T) was very spotty."

Site conditions: The soil composition can create challenges in wet weather. A visitor to Otsego Lake State Park Campground observed "The downside is the sites are all sand. This is a problem when it rains. No matter how hard you try to clean your shoes, you end up tracking in wet, dirty sand."

Reservation timing: Peak season fills quickly, particularly for premium cabins. South Higgins Lake sees high demand: "Getting a site here during the summer can be very difficult. You will want one of the sites closer to the lake. If you want one of these sites, you will need to be ready to book the site 6 months in advance."

Tips for camping with families

Kid-friendly activities: Many cabin locations offer structured programming for children. At Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park & Resort at Grayling, one visitor highlighted that it's "Great for kids. Tons of activities all day long. It's modern camping - showers, toilets, electricity, water, sewage, dump station. The jumping pillow is another great feature."

Biking opportunities: Several cabin locations offer paved paths suitable for children. At Otsego Lake, a reviewer mentioned "Nice paved path through the campground, great for kids riding bikes around camp. They also have a playground with a cool old fashion slide."

Swimming areas: Shallow entry points at several lakes accommodate young swimmers. South Higgins Lake has "water less than waist deep for about 100 yards out and then drops off to about 90' deep. The water color is amazing when the sun is out."

Tips from RVers

Leveling challenges: Some cabin and RV sites require significant adjustments. A visitor to Otsego Lake cautioned "Site 52 and sites in immediate area was over 12" out of level from front to back. Looked like our camper was doing a wheelie."

Hookup placement: Utilities may not follow standard layouts at all locations. One camper at Higgins Lake-Roscommon KOA noted "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."

Winter RV options: Unlike many Michigan campgrounds, some cabin areas offer winter RV camping. A visitor to Hartwick Pines mentioned it's "a good stop for snowbirds" with "open all year, nice park, big rig friendly, has full hookups."
