Higby's Campground Office

** Edited to add, the owners were in contact and were eager to know what was in need of fixing and how they could have improved the stay. They were very nice and understood my concerns. I do understand it has to be difficult to done check every cabin when you have an outside cleaning company but that is something that will unfortunately have to happen. They did offer a partial refund and were honestly very nice to speak with. They never yelled, condescended, or made me feel like my concerns weren't valid. That's something that means a great deal these days. Because of that I'm giving them one more star and would consider renting a different cabin in the future. We stayed in a cabin and not the actual campground but still owned and maintained by higbys. First, the oven and microwave were disgusting. The sink was in rough shape. I took these pictures the day we checked in. There were ants everywhere. I had to ask the office three times to mow our grass because the grass was up to my calves. I also told the office TWICE about ants and no one ever came over or called even though the lady in the office said she would alert the owners right away. I didn't post the picture of the lifeguard because he was young and I didn't want to add his face. While we were at the pool we noticed he didn't check people's pool cards or have them sign in. He didn't even stay in the pool area. He walked into the barn to talk to his friends and (we timed him bc this happened a lot) he spent 27 minutes on his phone without looking up once. I will say that on a different day the female lifeguard was absolutely amazing! She was friendly, paid attention and wasn't afraid to call people for doing things that weren't allowed. She was amazing! When I checked out on July 6th I showed the lady in the office all the pictures and told her all this. She assured me this experience was not normal, not acceptable, and the owners would be in touch with me to try and fix things. No one ever called. No one ever contacted me. Considering no one bothered to call afterwards and at least verify the issues after paying so much, we won't be back.

We stayed at Higbys Campground this last fri and sat in the Oakdale cottage. We had a great time and plan on going back. Cottage was clean and had everything we needed. It was just the right size. There were 4 adults and we had plenty of room. Staff was friendly. They let us take our own firewood in which was nice. If anyone is planning to stay in that cottage make sure you take a cpl extra loafs of bread to feed the ducks because they show up for breakfast lunch and dinner. 🥰 Over all tho it was a perfect cpl days 😁

Been coming here for years. Started out in a tent as a youngster then a trailer. Now taking my kids here and still loving the place. Bath houses could use little more hot water but then again your camping and it's part of the experience. The arcade could also use a few more games and would love to have the juke box back from 18 years ago when I was a teenager. The last three years we went up there they had activities for the kids and picnics for memorial day and labor day weekend. The pool also seemed really well cared for and the kids loved it.

The campfire smoke was overwhelming because each camper was packed in like sardines so close to each practically on top of each other & everyone had huge bonfires I smelled like I was in a house fire when I left but besides being so packed in & all the smoke I had nice time the arcade area with pole tables r pretty cool pool is nice free beach is beautiful yeah overall my kids had a blast & really liked the place & that's what really counts !!!!!

I stayed at the troll cottage at higbys and really enjoyed my stay. Cottage was clean and got cable tv with HBO. The have a really clean and beautiful pool. I love the little game room they have there too. We stayed for a week this year but next year I’ll be staying for two weeks. You really can’t beat the price.
