Highland Recreation Area — Attraction in White Lake Charter Township

Clean, quiet, nice area to picnic with your family, and great for walking since it has 5 miles hiking, biking, and when you pass every half mile there are signs to tell you that you pass this amount of miles and they have a bathroom in the way you walking. There is lake at the very end of the park and it have sand beach for kids to play and enjoy, there is volleyball, bean bag game and many more that I don't know all of them. A huge Gazebo with many benches to enjoy parties and gatherings. In front of the beach, the are many grills and benches. They have a big spot for the Kayak and small boats(no rent). The campground is fantastic 20$ per night, no electricity, firepit, two cars allowed. You are allowed to bring your tent, RV, horses because they have a path you can ride your horses there. The only thing that I would appreciate it, if they clean the campground’s bathrooms every day because the two times I been there the the bathroom wasn't clean. The staff is nice and welcoming. My family and I love to spend time in this park and eat our breakfast or lunch in front...

Whether you're an adventurer, a nature lover, or just looking for a peaceful retreat, the Highland Recreation Area is a must-visit destination in Michigan. It's a testament to the state's natural beauty and a place you'll want to return to...

Enjoyed amenities, especially Teeple Lake beach and Geocache Adventurers. Nice large lot and as trees mature, shade will be more abundant. Liked the size (25 sites) and layout of this campground, although we usually prefer more private setting (booked late and couldn't get into our favorite).

Totally appreciate the response of the ranger when we reached out regarding our "neighbors" who were disruptive morning and night (they were gone during the day). The ranger took our complaint seriously, discussing with neighbors affected by the offensive behavior. The ranger even offered to help us move to another lot and gave a heads up to the White Lake Police so the remainder of our stay was quiet.

My only request would be to consider a deep cleaning of the restroom on Sunday following Saturday night.

We would include this as a camping location when returning...
