Grayling Campground is a little tighter knit than Rainbow campground and sits just above the store and marina at Big Lake. There is a country store for most of your needs including boat rentals, ice, food and fishing gear. For boat rentals call 928-521-1387. Store hours are as follows; weekend:6:00am-6:00pm, all other days 8:00am-5:00pm. Check out some of the years best catches in the pictures under the glass at the register. You really can’t miss when you get a campsite at Big Lake, virtually every amenity is available! Showers and a dump station are located just east of the Rainbow Campground. The Visitor Center is located just before you reach the Rainbow campground and there are often scheduled activities so check it out when you arrive.
Be prepared for very cold nights in the spring and fall and afternoon showers sometimes occur daily.
Here is the link for the Big Lake Tackle and Supply located on the lake for information about boat rentals.
