For our first big trip of 2009 we returned to North Higgins Lake State Park. This has become one of our favorite campgrouds as it has the 'Up North' feel, yet is suprisingly close to home, we can be there within 3 hours. The campground is set in a mature forest a trail leads down to the large lake that has trees up to the shore line and sanday beach. The water was cold, but still nice to get out swimming. Across the road from the campground is the CCC museum, and also has hiking/biking trails. We brought our bikes this time and I did the middle course, which was harder than I anticipated.
There is a lot of good fishing within 30 minute drive. The AuSable runs all through the area, and you can go West toward Roscommon, or North toward Grayling to find numberous spots to fish from.
This campground is in the the upper tier for cost for the State Parks, but I think it is wortwhile as it is a beautiful park that we enjoy going to each year.
