Base Location:  Camp Grayling is located in central northern Michigan, west of Grayling, about five minutes off of 1-75.  Camp Grayling covers 147,000 acres and is the largest military installation east of the Mississippi River. The Grayling Army Airfield is located on the installation and there are commercial airports one hour away in Traverse City or Saginaw.


Camp Grayling Military Installation in Grayling MI is the largest National Guard training facility in the U.S., due to its many ranges and ample maneuver areas. It was founded in 1913 on an initial grant of land from Grayling lumber baron Rasmus Hanson to the State of Michigan for military training, and now spans 147,000 acres in Crawford, Kalkaska and Otsego counties. Much of that acreage is accessible to the public for hunting, fishing, snowmobiling and other recreational uses when military training is not taking place. The main post is only accessible to those with military ID’s.
