Great remote location. The hosts were the most friendly and informitive without being overbearing. Cudos to Mel and Cindy for doing their job professionally.

The campground was very clean and quiet. It was a perfect break from the heat! It was obvious that the camp hosts put extra effort into keeping the campground clean and neat. They were very nice and check by periodically to make sure everything was okay. We'll be going back there regularly.

The wife and I stayed five nights. We had a fantastic time. Its only a short walk to the lake where you can pick up some groceries. A bag of ice or some fishing gear they rent boats and everyone was very very nice. The camping host are wonderful people very accommodating And enjoyed their company. I definitely will be coming again next year.

Beautiful, peaceful campground with wonderful hosts. Perfect jump off point for hiking the Thompson Trail or just relaxing in camp.

My favorite campground at Big Lake with the worlds best camp hosts
@MaryannK1CA4A1 · Camped on Jul 20, 2025 at Campsite #17
This campsite is amazing. Love all of the shade. The camp hosts were attentive and helped us throughout our stay, ensuring everything was good. They also helped us communicate with our daughter to ensure she made it home safely since she left before we did. There is no cell service here, but that is part of the charm of camping.

We enjoyed our stay at Grayling. It is the smallest of the 3 RV camps at Big lake, but nice shade and very clean. Cindy and Mel are great camp hosts and are available to help or answer questions. Only issue was our site had rocks and tough to level rig.

We enjoyed this smaller campground covered by pine trees. Campground is very well maintained by Forest Service. Mel and Cindy are great hosts. We'll be back.

We had a nice campsite, #19, which backed to the forest. The campground was quiet and peaceful. The campground hosts were friendly and helpful. The site was level for our small camper. The restrooms were clean and a short walk away. The only complaint I have, and it doesn't pertain to Grayling per se, is that the showers that you drive to near the dump station cost $9 per shower which seems extraordinarily high. However, the water refills for your camper or water barrels are free so it would be less expensive to fill up barrels of water to shower at your campsite.

This is my favorite campground near big lake. Nestled in a beautiful forest setting this small campground has nice amenities, super friendly camp hosts, and plenty of space between sites. This is an annual visit that I look forward to each year!
@MelissaB359768 · Camped on Sep 10, 2024 at Campsite #11
This camp site is very nice as is the entire campground. The bathroom was always clean. The campground hosts were very nice and helpful. Took a drive to Alpine to see the elk herds and saw some bighorn sheep on the way there. Big Lake is always beautiful. Looking forward to coming back next year.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
