Grays Peak Group Campground is located in the San Bernardino National Forest, 2½ miles northwest of Fawnskin and Big Bear Lake. The campground was once situated among mature pine trees with plenty of shade and privacy, but a recent forest fire has left the site appearing rather desolate and unattractive. Still, it serves as a functional base for groups seeking recreation nearby. At Big Bear Lake visitors enjoy swimming, boating, waterskiing, and fishing. Other favorite activities are mountain biking, road cycling and hiking. Good OHV routes are found in the area.
Grays Peak Group Campground can accommodate up to 40 people with tents or RVs. Reservations are required. There is no potable water nor trash pick-up at the campground. Campers must pack out their own trash. Expect a slow, bumpy drive on a dirt road for the last 2 miles to the campsite.
