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.

Beautiful small campground. Best hosts with Mel and Cindy. Such nice people, and cleanest restrooms in any campground Ive ever been to. Our dog Maggie loved them too.
@WilliamWB8E751 · Camped on May 27, 2025 at Campsite #14
Campground hosts were exceptional! Keep the grounds and the restroom facilities shockingly clean! Very courteous and friendly.
@JeffreyK594524 · Camped on May 16, 2025 at Campsite #14
The campground was well run by the hosts Mel and Cindy. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return some day.

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.

The camp hosts were wonderful. Was impressed by the clean bathrooms
@JulieA1729459 · Camped on Aug 1, 2024 at Campsite #14
This is a neat campground- it's less manicured and feels a little more wild. We were there in early August and there were so many different types of mushrooms! Super cool. My complaint is that they have a few pull-through spots that they converted into 2 separate spots, so we had to drive the wrong way through the one-way loop to park our camper just a few feet from another camper who ran their generator. Sooo frustrating! Avoid spot 14!
@ToddP6293730 · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #7
Really enjoyed the hosts Mel and Cindy! So friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the area. They checked in to make sure everything was going well. The campsite and facilities were clean and well maintained. For first timers like us, there is water a dump station as you come into the recreation area. Beautiful place to visit!
@GicaBBE4F5D1F9 · Camped on Jun 28, 2024 at Campsite #14
Great campground, beautiful hikes, nice people. We plan to return.
@DougT8A617E7D0 · Camped on Jun 26, 2024 at Campsite #11
Arrived to find that someone had put a boulder in our driveway (# 11) which reduced our length in half. Mel and Cindy accommodated us by moving us to a first-come site.Could not have been treated better.This is our 3rd summer in Grayling. Very well maintained and very quiet at night.If campers have mechanical issues, Mel has been more than willing to try to remedy any problems when he is asked to.They are always present.We will be back next summer.The fishing was good too.Our Irish Setter wasnt happy with the thunder but the rain lifted the burn restrictions. The staff at the Marina is to be commended too. They too are so friendly and helpful.The 2 dump stations are easily accessible also.Weve been camping for decades and this campground stands out as one of the best.Each site is apart from others so there seems to be some privacy.
@TylerW1172177 · Camped on Jun 22, 2024 at Campsite #15
Spot was great and well secluded. Camp attendant was very nice and knowledgeable. Word of advice though is to check the burn advisory as the camp had level 2 fire restrictions which meant that you could not have a camp fire.
@CarlR3681963 · Camped on Jun 20, 2024 at Campsite #6
Besides the camp sites being nice and quiet. The camp hosts are the best ever and this is based upon my over 20 years of camping experience at Big Lake.
@ThomasC6214588 · Camped on Jun 13, 2024 at Campsite #15
We very much enjoyed our stay at Grayling. We will plan on returning! Great place!Thank you
@ScottS4600539 · Camped on Jun 7, 2024 at Campsite #16
The site we reserved was too slanted for our trailer. We could not get it level after 4 attempts, adjusting and moving the trailer. We ended up having to leave it hitched to the vehicle and raising one side, and we were still at such an angle the self leveling unit would not work. We had to manually get it as close to level as possible. We slept with our heads higher than our feet by a significant angle. Considering the site we picked said it was for trailers. I would have assembled it would have been level or close to level. Since it was listed for trailers.

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!!!
