Unique Cabin Award!

Weekend Getaway or Family Vacation—Higgins Lake KOA FUN! PARK in Roscommon, Michigan captures it all! With all we have to offer, plus quiet peaceful evenings around a campfire with family and friends, you need to make Higgins Lake KOA your camping destination!

Imagine the crystal clear waters and golden sandy beaches of nearby Higgins Lake, voted National Geographic's sixth most beautiful lake in the world! This 10,000 acre lake offers excellent swimming with its shallow sandy shores and distinctive drop-offs for a snorkler's dream come true. Early morning anglers can enjoy fishing for perch, walleye, small mouth bass and much more. Boating enthusiasts can enjoy a day full of tubing, skiing or cruising the beautiful shore lines. The north end of the lake is just a five minute drive from our campground or a slightly longer walk or bike ride.

But after a busy day by the lake, Higgins Lake KOA takes over. Don't feel like cooking? Join us for dinner or breakfast. Need a mid-day snack? There's always pizza and pop, or maybe a slice of forbidden fudge, in the camp store. Complete your evening with an ice cream sundae and a movie in our outdoor amphitheatre. Kids can enjoy the great bouncy house, playground equipment, 25' rock climbing wall, and monkey jumper! Daily arts and crafts are available for the artistic child. Hiking trails throughout the heavily wooded campground can be a place to get close to nature.

The Au Sable River nearby offers lazy canoe rides and awesome fly fishing for every level of experience. Enjoy the beauty of Michigan's Mackinaw Bridge and Mackinaw Island, a deserving day trip for everyone. If shopping is something you enjoy, a day trip to Traverse City is a must! Feeling lucky, casinos can be found in St Ignace, and Traverse City.

To: ALL the Taylors
From: Dennis and Vicki Trammell

Thank you so much for helping to give us the most relaxing, fun vacation we've had in a long time. We were able to enjoy the beauty and quiet of your KOA and the surrounding areas. We will be back. And Jim and Greg if you are ever down this way, Dennis would love to give you a tour of his company. Thank you again, and God bless you all.

Dear KOA Employees,

Thank you so much for making our vacation to Higgins Lake this summer so much fun! Our daughters loved all you had to offer, from the daily arts and crafts to the monkey jumper and rock wall. We greatly appreciate your wonderful customer service and friendly employees. After staying in both the Pirates Cove Yurt and the Moose Lodge during our stay we will be sure to come back next year, both were well above standard on cleanliness. Your campground will most likely become our yearly family tradition. We will be sure to get, at the very least, a day pass the next time we are up your way. And when family from out of state takes over grandma's cabin and there isn't enough room for us we'll definitely be staying with you instead of the state park, because it is well worth the few extra mile drive. Thanks again and keep up the great work!

Sincerely,
The Block Family
