First Cabin On The Right
This cabin is the old boy's dorm of the Central Michigan Evangelistic Association Campground. It has been remodeled for families to come and enjoy the large piece of property along the Muskegon River and the White Pine Trail. It has a full kitchen, bathroom, shower, and 3 bedrooms that sleep 6 people comfortably. The bedrooms do have sliding doors that are a bit loud at night. It could use a good paint job but with me allowing dogs it's hard to keep up. This is nowhere near perfect condition, but it is super cute. If you would like to use our kayaks or bikes just let me know prior to your stay so I can make sure they are available to you. I can take you upstream and you can float down to the campground. The price would be $25 each. I have 5 kayaks. Camping is $30 a night with water and electric hookup. There is lots of wildlife mainly turkeys and deer. I am confident you will enjoy your stay when you come. There is also another cabin that is available called Cabin 2. It is on VRBO also. Feel free to contact Gray's Riverside Camp for inquiries.

We enjoyed our stay in Cabin 1. Rode the white pine trail from Rockford to the cabin. Host was very quick to respond to our messages while planning the trip and location was perfect-right off the trail.
Would recommend.

We loved this little cabin, don't let the exterior fool you, it is very well done on the inside. Our family & pups had a great stay, host was very responsive to questions. Cool grounds if you have time to take walks, saw deer in the mornings. Very highly recommend this cabin!

This was a remodeled cabin from a camp that used to be there. It is a concrete block cabin. The inside has been redone so it is pretty comfortable. The area around it outside is pretty rustic. It worked well for our trip we were there two nights. You will need to bring your own food and supplies there are not many places close buy to purchase items.

The campground is being updated as it used to be a church camp. Cabin #1 is a cinder block cabin with 3 bedrooms, one shower/toilet/sink room and a common area for relaxing and eating. It was well decorated and comfortable. It has A/C and a couple fans. They thought of everything when they updated this place. The building with the restrooms is also a comfortable place to play games or watch movies. We were able to kayak and enjoy the river easily. We are looking forward to coming back again.

Great repurpose of a former bunkhouse dorm cabin into a vrbo! Cabin was comfortable and well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Fast internet, very clean, and in a quiet surrounding. Our stay was during the winter, so there is likely much more to do in the summer months at the property than we did.
