Let the Camp Grayling Officers Club, its Cottages or "RV" Park be your springboard into the pristine beauty of Northern Michigan.  A central location provides an easy days drive to several of Michigan's famous cities, landmarks and sights such  as the Soo Locks and Mackinaw Memorial Bridge.  Grayling also provides easy access to many of the finest golf courses in Northern Michigan.

1. The city of Grayling, located approximately 3 miles from the Camp Grayling,  is a main cross over for travelers heading towards the Traverse City and Kalkaska communities.  Events, such as the Annual Canoe Race, attract people from distant places.
    
2. Prudenville (approximately 33 miles) and Houghton Lake (approximately 26 miles) provide a year round sporting venue, have some great antique shops and seasonal craft shows.
    
3. The Turtle Creek Casino, a favorite of many who stay in the Grayling area, is an approximate 42 mile hop down the road.
    
4. Traverse City, famous for its fabulous shorelines, dining and Cherry Festival, is just 54 miles  from Camp Grayling.
    
5. Alpine like Gaylord hosts both an excellent skiing and golfing venue, has a variety of quality restaurants and a quaint shopping area on its main street.  Gaylord is 34 miles from the Officers Club.
    
6. Further to the Northwest, on the shores of Lake Michigan's Little Traverse Bay, (approximately 70 miles) is the City of Petoskey that boasts a small town atmosphere with world class shopping.
    
7. Mackinaw City (91 miles) is another day trip opportunity providing you with 4 historic sites, a great view of the Mackinaw Bridge and a neat shopping area; most who visit would not want to miss a stop at the Mackinaw Bridge Museum.
    
8.  The City of Sault Ste. Marie is worth the trip (147 miles), but you may want to make it an overnighter.  The Soo Locks and International bridge are favorites in the city, as is the Kewadin Casino.
    
9. Take the ferry from either St. Ignace or Mackinaw City to beautiful Mackinac Island (sorry - you can't drive there).  Tour the historic Fort Mackinac, visit the Grand Hotel or take a horse drawn ride or bicycle around the island area.
    
10. Alpena is 98 miles from the Officers Club and overlooks Lake Huron's picturesque Thunder Bay.  Historic lighthouses are just a few miles further north, and the Phelps Collins Air National Guard Base is on the outskirts of town.
