First time at south Higgins and planned this Halloween one 1 year ago. Site 83 is huge! Our family absolutely loved it! So many activities all weekend for the kids plus trick or treating was amazing! Park closed the roads down for the trick or treat making it really safe. Can’t wait to come back.

Thank you for a great summer, so happy with all the updates! We always love boating up to get some ice cream or snacks.

I love the campground, the lake is beautiful. Lots of dogs and campsites. The reason I gave it three stars is because the shower I was in had lot's of mold. Also, the actual beach that allows dogs is kinda small, considering there are so many dogs. But overall, it was a great experience and I would camp there again.

Love the fact that they now deliver wood to the campsites 7 days a week. Very helpful for those with disabilities who can't necessarily carry heavy bundles long distances. Kudos! ?

This is a good sized store close to the beach and the campground. It has several types of Tshirts, Swimming accessories, beach towels, Take away food like bread, sausages, snacks, sandwiches, icecream and beverages. There are several beach itesm to rent like Canoes / Kayaks at $10 per hour, Floating mats at $15 per hour and a few other items. They provide firewood too for the campers at $8 a bundle which is delivered to the campsite as this store is approximately half a mile away from the western loop of the campsite.

Nice little place to pick up items that you may want to take on the lake with you. Pretty good selection of different things to suite most tastes. The prices were fair, and the store was very clean. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We were glad that they were there to be able to shop for snacks and drinks, which made our day on the lake more enjoyable

The showers at South Higgins were cold at 4:30 in the afternoon. No toilet paper in the ladies bathroom at that time. The bathrooms needed repairs and we're not very clean, yet workers are painting benches,3 on one bench? The workers ride around on gators going wayyyy too fast.There are kids and animals in the park.

Mostly kids working there. The boat rental guy / store manager did me wrong by not honoring what another employee told me they could do for a boat rental. Told me "its not my mistake, not costing me money". Obviously the customer isn't always right here. Also, tried to accused me of propeller damage upon return so make sure you inspect and take pictures. Wont deal with this guy or place again.

The South Higgins Lake Park Store is a store full of snacks and essentials that you might need for a day on or by the lake, has a food counter as well to order hot foods/meals as well, and for our purposes, it has a boat and other lake equipment (paddle boards, kayaks, canoes) rental offshoot store attached to it as well! I rented a boat from this store, so my review will be focused on this aspect of it!First and foremost, I have camped at a lot of lake state parks, but I have yet to see one that offers boat rentals the way this state park did, the convenience is unbeatable and I knew they were credible as well! I called about a month in advance and everything was already booked, except for their smallest pontoon, which fits 6 people and and dog friendly, which was exactly what we were looking for - my group had 5 people and a large dog!I made the reservation on the phone and they sent me a Google invite to hold my reservation. No money needed to be put down, which I was pleasantly surprised by, which just made things even easier leading up to the trip. They explained all the pricing, what comes with the boat (a full tank of fuel and many other features), how the security deposit would work (it's a $350 deposit if no one in your group has a Michigan Boater Safety Certificate, $250 if someone does), and all the details on when to show up on the day of our rental!They only do full day rentals in advance. If you wanted a boat for half a day, it'd be first come first serve on the day of, but given when we called all the pontoons were already reserved except for 1, I'd say that the first come first serve nature of boat renting is not going to work on any weekend in the summertime, holiday weekend or not! But all the paddle boards, canoes, and kayaks are also first come first serve no matter what, and those were all still in stock when we went in to pick up our boat first thing in the morning.The day of our rental, we showed up at 9 am I believe (we have the boat from 9 am - 6 pm) and they took our payment at the office and showed us the general layout of the entire lake and things to watch out for in certain areas of the lake on the boat, which was much appreciated! Then we went to the boat, where they showed us how to work it all and where all the items we might need were as we got settled. Then they tendered us out to the deeper part of the water where we could start the engine and start driving and the rest of the day was ours! It was a magical day on the boat and exploring the whole breadth of Higgins Lake, which honestly was such an amazing lake to be on!Coming back in was just as easy! One of our group jumped out to tender our boat in when the water got too shallow for the engine to continue and because this was around the time when everyone was bringing their rental boats back in, there were park store employees at the dock helping to secure the boats and inspect our boats, which then allowed us to get our safety deposit refund! The process was super simple, quick, and straightforward and I would rent a boat from South Higgins Lake Park Store again in a heartbeat! Next time I'm planning to come to this lake, they will definitely be getting another phone call from me! Thanks for such a positive experience!!
