Great little campground, nothing fancy but everything was clean and well kept. The host was great and went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. Checked in with us to make sure everything was going good. Definitely planning to go back.

Quiet and peaceful. Sites were very private, and the host was great at communication. Not many amenities, but it is great for rustic style camping. Would recommend. I'd like to try the disc golf course next time

Weekend Trip to Gatehouse Family Camper
Alfred was a great host and nice gentleman.
This little cabin served its purpose. It was rustic and had the basics that I needed. The location was perfect being it was close to the Betsir River and other campgrounds. What you see is what you get. It’s just a basic cabin and as I mentioned, it served its purpose.

We enjoyed this location very much. It was easy to find and convenient to set up the camper. Our host Alfred was friendly and helpful. The only possible negative for some people might be its proximity to the M115 highway, which gave us some road noise. We would certainly consider visiting again if we come to this area.

My husband and I rented a site here for our anniversary and we had a great time! The owner was very welcoming and super chill!
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.

Nice and quiet with a great view. Extra firewood is a huge plus just in case it rains, like it did when we were there. Great place for peaceful camping.

The campsite was clean, easy to find right off the highway and welcoming. It is less than a mile from Crystal Mountain which was ideal for us! There’s plenty of space, large lot for our 30’ RV and Alfred was very friendly, checking on us to make sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We will be back!

Nice and quiet. Many pull through sites. 300’ or less away from water in the off chance you forget to fill up before setting up like I did. I’m sure we’ll be back next year.

Rick's cabin is so beautiful! He really has built a little slice of heaven in the woods. We had so much fun talking to him and meeting his sweet dog! We loved relaxing on the covered deck watching the fire below dance in the stoic stone firepit. Our son rode his bike and explored all around the trails on Rick's land, we hiked them too. Lots of nature to observe and the smells of the woods were delightful. This cabin was just what we were looking for in a quick family getaway! Rick has a large table for the kitchen counter setup with propane stoves, utensils, and a large glass water jug with an electric pump! The beds on the bunk were really comfortable, and the wood stove was so nice in the early mornings to warm the cabin up. The small dining table was perfect for taking it easy, drinking coffee and gazing out the window at the diverse trees. Rick also has a battery powered fan, and shop vac which were such nice things to have! He provided the firewood for both the outdoor pit and the small wood stove inside. The cabin is also a few miles from Yoder's of Tustin for some groceries, supplies, lots of baked treats and deli items including sandwiches. We drove to see the Pine River and the scenery around the area.
Rick is a wonderful host! We will be back!! Thank you, Rick!!

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!
