My son and I stayed for a weekend to go fishing and get away from the busy city life. We absolutely loved our stay, were so impressed with the cleanliness of the place, the items available for our use, and the breathtaking views. We will definitely be back!

We enjoyed our stay at Bear Woods. Having a fire in the ring, and hot showers at the end of a day of fishing was really nice to have. I would definitely recommend staying if in the area!

Grays River Camp was awesome. Angie was a super host and very pleasant to talk with. Attentive to needs and making sure campers are happy. She has done a lot with the campground for improvements, making sure there is a little bit for everyone to have fun outdoors or indoors in the case of bad weather. It was very quiet, clean and peaceful camped along the river. Plenty of room to walk dogs if you have them. We floated the Muskegon during our stay. Angie dropped us off at a riverside park in Big Rapids and we paddled and fished our way back to camp. We enjoyed ourselves so much that we are camping there again the following weekend. I would highly recommend this camp to anyone looking to get away from the congested state campgrounds and larger RV resorts. Great for RV’s and Tents. There is a dump station for RV’s which was a blessing. Thanks Angie, we look forward to coming back.

We stayed for three nights and absolutely loved it here. The property is peaceful, right on the river, and has a unique charm with the old buildings from when it was a church camp built in 1940’s.
The host was very friendly and easy to communicate with before our trip, which made everything smooth. On-site, they’ve clearly put thought into making it comfortable—there are snacks (even ice cream if you want it), clean bathrooms and showers, a dump station, firewood for purchase, and convenient hookups with 30-amp power and a water spigot close by. The rail trail runs right past the property, which was perfect for walks, and there was plenty of room for our dogs to explore.
What made this trip even better was that my parents, who aren’t campers, came along and stayed in one of the handful of cabins on site. It worked out perfectly and gave us all a chance to enjoy the peaceful setting together.
What we appreciated most was how small and quiet it felt—not crowded at all, just relaxing and easy. We’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with modern conveniences and a touch of history. We wished we could have stayed longer!

A campsite with all the amenities for an extra comfortable stay. We enjoyed the bathhouse showers and restrooms and cute snack shop with ping pong, board games, and necessities just in case you forgot something. We also loved having wifi. The kids never got bored because there were so many activities such as a cool zip line, small playscape, basketball hoop, kayaking, and so much more. The icing on the cake was how nice and helpful Angie was. The property is the perfect place to enjoy camping.

My family and I had a great time tent camping on Nellie's land. We appreciated the well-groomed site and beautiful views. The sites were a little close to each other, but the fantastic bathhouse made up for that. We loved the central location for day trips to Sleeping Bear Dunes and Traverse City. Our kids really loved the playground. We would camp here again, thanks for hosting us!

From the moment you reach the driveway it is evident that someone(s) put a lot of thought, hard work and pride into making a Bear Woods Resort a great place to stay. I camped in a tent and definitely appreciated the large space, fire pit and picnic table and the easy access path cut out to the restroom/shower. I highly recommend staying here.

A very organized, well-maintained camping property. Angie and her partner doing a really nice job restoring this former church camp from the 1940’s. I didn’t require any of the hookups, it my site was clean, flat, easy to access and felt private. Would stay here again!

Very nice camp. Angie and (I assume) husband were both friendly and helpful. The camp has great access to the White Pine Trail. It crosses their driveway.

Everything went well!!
I love to travel and when I tell you I deeply appreciate when the accommodations exceed expectations!
The pics and the descriptions do not do this camp ground and resort justice.
We stayed in the yurts. Reserved both for 4 days. My site was for myself and my dog. My sister had her 2 boys next door.
Reserving was easy, the owner was quick to respond to questions and even had propane stoves ready for us at the covered pavilion. We ended up not using them because we brought a charcoal grill.
I can’t say enough about how clean and just how meticulous everything was from the bathroom, to the playground, to the trails, and the yurts them selves were OUTSTANDING.
My boyfriend and I are looking at dates to go in the fall. And my girlfriends and I are looking at dates to go next month.
