Pacific Yurts-Featured Yurt Customer

Located near Roscommon, Michigan, Higgins Lake offers plenty of recreational opportunities with its 10,000 acres of shallow sandy shores, distinctive drop-offs, excellent fishing, swimming, and boating. With the lake’s crystal clear waters and golden sandy beaches it was voted National Geographic’s sixth most beautiful lake in the world.

On the shores of this wonderful lake, and near the Au Sable River, lies Higgins Lake KOA. The campground has many available activities for kids including inflatable water slide, playground equipment, monkey jumpers, rock climbing wall and game room/arcade. Adults can enjoy basketball, horseshoes, shuffleboard and hiking throughout the heavily wooded campground, not to mention canoeing nearby.

Amenities at Higgins Lake KOA include, a camp store, outdoor movie theater, Kamping Cabins, Kamping Lodges and Kamping Yurts.

Each of their 20’ diameter yurts have a full bathroom, kitchen with microwave, mini fridge, table and chairs, 1 king/queen bed, bunk beds and linens.

Greg and Wynn Taylor, owners of Higgins Lake KOA, added three Pacific Yurts to their campground in spring of 2008 after hearing about the success of Pacific Yurts used in other campgrounds across the country. Yurts provide something unique for their campground and made for a variety of rental options.

According to Wynn, "As soon as the yurts were installed they were quickly booked with weekends being full for months in advance. In fact, they are typically booked ahead of our lodges for the same price. The yurts’ biggest selling points are the open spacious feeling, star gazing through the dome at night and the abundant light during the day. They are just so unique and cool that people love them. You can see cabins anywhere – yurts are something different. They fit perfectly into our wooded setting."
