Highland Recreation Area is a fairly nice state park. But the rustic campground wasen t the best. Of course it was early in the season (Memorial weekend) and not all the seasonal help wasen t there yet. I m sure it will improve during the summer camping season.
Here is a link with pictures and a review of the park and campground.

Starcraft DadWell, I can see where we Won t be camping! It most likely will get worse there as the season goes on . From the pictures it looks like there are only a hand full of trees.
We prefer a more wooded experience.
Starcraft DadThere are a few shady sites but very few. We may go back later and stay a few days but that is just a maybe. It is a a fairly popular park in the summer but the campground itself does not have a gatehouse of any kind. Everyone can just drive through it at will. With dirt roads and dry conditions, it can be a dust hazard.
We are going to camp at Proud Lake Recreation Area in Wixom from June 25th to June 29th. It is a much nicer campground. I will have pics and a review of that park as well on my site. If anyone is in the area during this time we will be at site 63. Stop by and say hello.[:)]
Starcraft DadWhat!! Is everyone camping at Proud Lake that weekend! Enjoy!
We have friends going there and had asked us to join them......unfortunately it s
a bad weekend for us to camp.
We have stayed at Pontiac, and other than the Skunks it wasn t to bad.
And tried Holly before the crowds came, it s broke down into 4 smaller loops so it did not have the look of a monster park.
