First-Time Visit—Absolutely Loved It! This was our first time staying at Gray's Riverside Campground, and we couldn’t have been more thrilled—especially to find a campground still taking reservations for the 4th of July! The campsites are surprisingly spacious, giving everyone room to relax and spread out. The location right on the Muskegon River is perfect—you can get dropped off upstream by the camp host and enjoy a relaxing float right back to the campground. It was such a fun and peaceful way to spend the day! If you don't have a floatation device you can rent kayaks at the ca If floating isn’t your thing, the river’s inlet area is shallow and ideal for just hanging out and playing in the water. Great for kids and adults alike. Angie, the owner, was incredibly kind and welcoming. Sh

This is just a great piece of property for camping! It's easy to tell Angie and friends are compassionate about providing a fun, relaxing family atmosphere. We'll be back year after year!

This campsite marks off all the boxes and then some! Super cute accommodations, and friendly staff. Most sites had patio furniture, fire pits, and cornhole nearby. The bath/clubhouse has ping pong and Jenga etc. Riverside camping and optional kayaking at reasonable prices makes this a no brainer for a quick weekend getaway. Weddings and large events are also welcome if that’s your thing. The camp has several photo opportunities with lights and outdoor settings. We loved our overnight stay.

I do not usually write reviews, but I do read as much as possible. That said, Gray's Riverside CG in Big Rapids, MI is one of those nuggets a traveler hopes to discover and we did! This little gem gives a wooded rustic country feel, quiet and tranquil. Visitors like whitetail deer and turkey add to an already scenic area as the current of Muskegon River softly flows by. The biggest plus when traveling that far north in the fall, is Angie Gray is 'Open' when all other campgrounds have closed. Angie is very friendly and accommodating. We traveled there for a wedding in Big Rapids, we feel fortunate to have found accommodations. On this road trip from Colorado we traveled 4200 plus miles, stayed at several campgrounds, some were chain campgrounds and we easily give Gray's Riverside Campgroun

Loved it here! It was so pretty, quiet and not at all crowded. It was almost like we were the only ones there 😉 I looked it up, the camp was originally built in 1945. For the most part the buildings are in pretty good shape considering their age. However, they're off limits until renovations are finished. From the looks of it, the new owners are doing a great job renovating the old buildings. One cabin has been remodeled already. It does not look like much from the outside... But inside? Immaculate! I took my shoes off outside the door lol. Three nice sized bedrooms, modern bathroom, full kitchen, living room and a patio. All for less than a two star motel room. We "roughed it" in our old beat up RV though. Campsites had electric and water hookup options plus a fire pit. After taking a ton
