The showers and restrooms are very clean and smelt good.
We will bring our kids here too since there’s an open area with things for kids to do and places for parents to hang out!
We came up to ride the trails and there are plenty of spots to start that fun!
Thank you, Thomas for being a great host! I’m sure we will be back.

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.

Randy's spot on the Betsie River was truly perfect. It was a great, quiet place in the woods with plenty of open space for a camper, tent, and yard games. We really appreciated that the open space was grass and not sand or dirt like many camp spots end up being. Randy was incredibly helpful when a small problem came up and took the time to make sure everything was 100% perfect. We would highly recommend this space and would love to come back next year.

My partner and I tent camped at the Fairway Pilot lot on Dean and Jackie's land and had the most beautiful experience! We booked the site at 11am the day we planned to show up and got there around 4pm. We were directly next to the bridge which connected to walking trails through the woods and had a creek at the back side of our site. The fire ring was large and allowed for amazing fire cooked meals, and the outhouse was a short walk away-always lit at night and easy to find. We purchased a wheelbarrow of firewood and collected some fallen sticks in the woods to use in the morning and nights. It was late summer and they had flowers blooming in the garden-just stunning! The entrance to the property was easy to find and marked by pink flags, and we were greeted by Dean and his friend as we arrived. They had a cute self service market at the front with fresh cut flower bouquets, sourdough loaves and scones, hand made gifts and fresh eggs (which we stopped at on the way out). The property is 10 minutes from downtown Manistee-close enough to get what you need/explore the town but far enough away to have beautiful starry skies and quiet time without the state park hassle. Was such a great experience, and would definitely come back! 10/10!

Krista's hospitality helped make my trip much more enjoyable and accessible. Her providing the amenities of the outhouse, firewood, and water were greatly appreciated. Great little spot to camp.

Such a nice little piece of land. The bathrooms were immaculate and I even got a hot shower! It is about 300 ft from main road so we could hear some road noise, but it was also nice to be able to go grab ice, etc from a nearby gas station when needed. Great experience overall :)

Fantastic little campground! My family and I had a wonderful time. The site we stayed at was super private and spacious and they had everything we needed. 5 stars for the family that ran it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, they were the best hosts.

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!
