We booked ahead for 2 nights and pre-paid for Labor day weekend 2011. Due to unforseen circumstances (my husband is a lineman, and had to report to mandatory storm duty for a hurricane) we had to cancel. I called them to tell them on the Monday prior to the weekend and cancelled and asked to be refunded our money. They... More

We apologize & would like to offer you a credit in 2012 for the funds that you forfeited last year over Labor Day. When there is a possibility of a major storm headed our way,we try to reschedule within that season, any campers not wanting to take the risk of camping. Usually, we have asked for a deposit of 1/2... More

We stayed here fro 6 days. The weather was not so nice, but the campground was great. There have been a lot of capital improvements in the last few years. We bought lobsters at the CG, and cooked them ourselves. Awesome! You can't get any fresher. More

I made reservations for Grays arriving sunday evening 8/28. As we all know Irene was moving up the East Coast and no way was I leaving my home in Rochester New York with flooded roads, down power lines and closed roads to reach Southport Island. I called today and could not get back my deposit of $100.00. I know they... More

We are sorry for the response from us last August. You may use your deposit within the 2012 season. Usually, we offer a credit within that season so that we, as a small business, do not lose the income in two seasons. We don't refund or reschedule for regular weather conditions. We do believe in trying to keep our campers... More

I just visited Gray's on Monday afternoon and decided to visit without having reservations. The souther lady as some call her is Marita. The campsite was completely booked, but she offered us an overflow site that we could not fit our 4 person tent on, she was gracious enough to call a nearby campsite to reserve a site for us... More

My wife and I tried two times to get into this campground in the past, but found that it was always booked. We finely were able to make reservations this summer. We are avid kayakers and were excited to try the Southport Island loop. The campground is in the perfect location for this. My friend had warned me before going... More

We are very sorry about your experience with the rugs on the grass at your site. Hopefully, this will help. We refresh our grassy sites each spring & sometimes early summer in order to groom them & make them visually pleasing to the eye. We spend about 2 months getting the grounds ready for campers. Often about a month into... More

Okay, so we arrived late (8PM) which is exactly when the office closes. The cost was rather high, and our site had trash in it from previous campers! YUK. Then again the office was closed and we were given no info as to how to access the wifi, as we were not given the password. We had a small camper,... More

Hello. We truly hope you will try us again someday. We do post our hours on the website & generally let people know, if they say they will arrive late in the day, that we close by 8:00pm. We stay open 11 hours each day & we hope that suits most people. We will give the password for the wi-fi... More

Gray's does have nice, rustic sites, and nice cottages. However, on our second night, we arrived back at our cottage to find it full of big, black ants. They were everywhere - on the pillows even! We had not left food out and could see no reason they had invaded the cottage. We had to wake the owners up, who... More

We understand that you enjoyed our property, but were unhappy with our response to your situation last July. We hope you understand that, like you, we do not know why the ants came in on your 2nd night at the cottage. We had not had them prior to that date nor did we have them any other time during the...

My wife and I stayed here with our camper, all was fine until we wanted to eat breakfast with my inlaws at their cottage on the same property. The owner instructed me that it was against policy for us to use the cottage as our 'home base' and that he discussed this policy before we rented our site/room. He did... More

We do have a policy that only the people who booked the cottage ( the amount that it sleeps) should be using the cottage. So, if a cottage sleeps six then that is it's maximum. We do this to keep the property in good shape for the next family expecting a nice place. When family members are renting a site... More

This campground is definitely not designed for motorhomes. The sites can be challenging to back into and there is no traffic pattern. Upon entering or exiting, you take your chances for running into someone coming the opposite way. I mentioned this to the older couple that run the place and they told me that if there's a problem, they take... More

Thank you for your review. We, at Gray's, do try to be very helpful with our campers needs. We are a campground with a more natural terrain & mostly back-into sites. We have measured & looked at what people can get into & have set limits for each site. We all use the same key for length, etc. when assigning... More

We went camping there in 2007. Loved it so much that we decided to reserve for the next year. We paid in FULL for 2 weeks. When time came to go, I was in the hospital and had to cancel. We called and asked for a refund? NO, a rain check anytime? NO They were impossible to talk to, irrational,... More

We are so sorry & I am at a loss as to what happened in your situation because i always refund or reschedule for any serious medical emergencies. Certainly, being in the hospital is an emergency. Feel free to contact us so that we can right this situation. More
