One of the best things about Gray Hills is that every campsite offers a little something different. Whether you’re drawn to the quiet shimmer of the pond or the sweeping views from the ridge, your perfect escape is waiting—you just need to know what kind of camper you are.


Here’s how to choose the spot that suits you best:


Hilltop Campsites: For the Solitude Seekers


Best For:

-Stargazers

-Sunrise lovers

-Seclusion


The Vibe:

Perched above the tree line, the hilltop sites offer a peaceful, secluded feel with wide open skies. You’ll wake to gentle wind, and birdsong—and fall asleep to a sky full of stars. Being the only site up there, it’s perfect for anyone craving real solitude.


What to Expect:

-Breezy, cooler temps (especially in the mornings and evenings)

-Views that stretch forever

-Quiet lingering over the land all day, with owls speaking softly in the distance.


Perfect If You:

Are adventurous and have 4WD, need space to breathe without bumping into anyone, want a quiet spot to turn pages, write thoughts, or have a front-row seat to sunrise.



Pond-front Campsites: Best for Fishing, Lounging, and Listening to the Frogs


Best For:

-Families or medium size groups

-Campers who love to fish

-Folks who like water nearby while they cook, relax, or watch the fire


The Vibe:

Our pond-front sites sit low and peaceful, shaded by tall trees and graced by frogs, turtles, and dragonflies. The water reflects the sky at sunset, and the soundtrack here is frogs, birds, and the crackle of a fire.


What to Expect:

-More wildlife

-Gentler terrain, perfect for first-time campers and those young or just young at heart

-Occasional early morning mist and bugs (bring spray!)


Perfect If You:

Love the relaxing stillness of water, casting a line by day, peaceful walks around the pond, and listening to frogs by night.


Still Not Sure? Ask yourself this:

Do you want to wake up by calm water, spend your days fishing and relaxing to the chorus of frogs — or would you love a quiet place to write, read, or sip your coffee while soaking in the scenery?


Both experiences are deeply peaceful and uniquely Gray Hills. No matter which site you choose, you’ll be waking up somewhere wild, quiet, and real. That’s the beauty of Gray Hills—it’s not about roughing it—it’s about finding what feels like home, even when you're sleeping under the stars.
