The park has a very nice playground for the children. There are restrooms. There's a dog friendly beach area. And there is a pavilion for picnicking. Also plenty of picnic tables scattered throughout. Nice boat launch. And camping

Good sites for group / family camping. Some hidden away as well for a quieter setting. Nice view of the lake / beach area. Pavillion area for picinic outside of camp areas. Overall, it is a beauty of a setting.

Fantastic park! The bathhouses and restrooms are well maintained and new, there's drinking water available at a few spigots and the walk to the lake is relatively short. The only drawback is that some sites back up to a main road which is rather noisy; do yourself a favor and pay attention to the site map.

Great place to go camping and boating. Family-friendly clean water. Nature trials and playgrounds. Can be hard to get a site on certain dates. Been a fav for 40 years.

South Higgins Lake State Park is a fantastic spot for a family outing, whether it’s just the two of you, the kids, or a big extended group. The park is super clean, with well-maintained restrooms and a great park store that offers rentals, ice cream, and food. There are plenty of picnic tables and charcoal grills, perfect for a cookout. Parking is easy, and the water is very shallow near the shore, making it ideal for families with small children. With activities like volleyball and lots of open space to enjoy, it’s a beautiful and relaxing place to spend the day. Highly recommend!
