Grey Squirrel Resorts

Tucked into the quiet mountain town of Fawnskin, Grey Squirrel Resort has been welcoming families, couples, and big groups since the 1950s. With private cabins spread across three wooded acres, it’s perfect for everything from romantic weekends to full-on reunions and outdoor weddings. This is camping near San Bernardino National Forest the easy way—real beds, cozy vibes, and just enough rustic charm to feel like you’ve escaped. You’re just minutes from Grays Peak Trail, a scenic forest hike with incredible views of the lake, and the Alpine Pedal Path, a paved route perfect for bikes, strollers, or a relaxed morning walk. Want to get out on the water? The shores of Big Bear Lake are right nearby for fishing, kayaking, or just skipping rocks. If a trail ride sounds more your speed, Baldwin Lake Stables offers guided horseback adventures through alpine meadows and quiet mountain forests. And for something completely different, the Big Bear Pirate Ship sets sail with lake tours that mix fun, history, and a bit of swashbuckling charm. Time it right and catch the Big Bear Lake International Film Festival, or spend the day browsing shops and cafés while camping near Big Bear Village. Whether you’re here for the trails or the quiet, Grey Squirrel Resort offers a peaceful place to connect—with nature, and with each other.
