Gray's Peak Group Camp

Gray’s Peak Group Campground, located 1.5 miles west of Fawnskin in the San Bernardino National Forest, offers a secluded group camping experience surrounded by towering pines and alpine meadows. This high-elevation site (7,132 feet) is ideal for hosting larger gatherings, with space for up to 40 campers, 8 vehicles, and amenities like picnic tables, a campfire circle, and grills. The absence of drinking water and trash collection reinforces the rugged, pack-in-pack-out ethos, appealing to those seeking a more self-reliant outdoor adventure.

Visitors can enjoy direct access to nearby hiking and biking trails, including the scenic Gray’s Peak Trail, which rewards trekkers with panoramic views of Big Bear Lake. The campground is perfectly positioned for recreational activities at Big Bear Lake, just minutes away, where fishing, boating, and wildlife observation opportunities abound. The Big Bear Discovery Center, a hub for educational programs, is also a short drive from the site, adding a cultural touch to the camping experience.

Set far from urban distractions yet close enough to the charming town of Fawnskin, Gray’s Peak is a prime choice for weekend getaways or nature-immersive group retreats. Whether exploring forest trails, stargazing in the clear mountain skies, or enjoying lakeside activities, this campground provides an authentic, nature-connected escape.
