The campsites are big and spacious. You are most definitely rustic camping and couldn't have it any other way. We share lots of laughters on/off the river. Does the river have down trees? Sure! But it's Mother Nature and she's a powerful beast. If you know how to have a decent time and make the most of any circumstances, this place is a gem! As for kids - we do not bring our children and go for more of an adult tubing trip! Love the staff, love the privacy and love the great outdoors!

We had one of the worst tubing experiences of our lives on Saturday. I have been tubing several…read moretimes and never had to exit my tube so many times or deal with so many obstacles, I have never had a tube pop/puncture on a trip and we had 3 which left 3 of our group swimming/walking for miles (one of these punctured tubes belonged to someone who can't swim). I'm not sure who is responsible for maintaining the water but some major work needs to be done. We honestly don't feel this would be safe if there was a group taking small children. There was no relaxing on this trip, we are all battered, bruised and disappointed.

This is a fantastic hiking trail in the area! We had this one on our list for over a year and…read morefinally explored for ourselves. We completed the entire loop with our puppy. The covered bridge is gone sadly. I wanted to give more exposure to this pathway so I'm adding it to yelp, the following info was copied from AllTrails I do not take credit for it : Lost Twin Lakes is a 3.4-mile loop that was built in the mid-1980s. It remained a soggy, lightly-used pathway until 1999 when members of Boy Scout Troop 944 turned the trail into an Eagle Scout project and constructed a series of bridges and boardwalks over the wettest parts. Thanks to the Scouts, the trail is a much drier hike now but still remains relatively obscure. Much of that is due to its remote location. Part of the Au Sable State Forest, the trailhead is south of Houghton Lake along Reserve Road (County Road 400), a winding dirt road with few signs. This pathway is for people who like to walk in the woods. The main attraction of Lost Twin Lakes are the century-old white pines scattered along the trail, giant trees that survived waves of loggers in the late 1800s. The pathway also features an interesting topography that includes ridges, sinkholes, wetlands and swamps and those small namesake lakes that gives it a wonderful North Woods ambience. Like all state forest pathways, Lost Twin Lakes is open to Nordic skiing and snowshoeing as well as mountain biking. But the trail isn't groomed in the winter while off-road cyclists usually bypass it, choosing instead trails with more mileage that are easier to access from I-75 or US-1

We went canoeing which was also pretty fun, and made some smores over the fire. At night if you walk down to the river you can catch a bit of the stars, they look great out here.

We were greeted with the utmost respect from the second we called, to pulling into the parking lot, getting help onto the river, and getting off. It was one of the prettiest parts of the river that we have seen, very wide open. Pulling into the campground from the river, allowed us to experience their adorable establishment. I truly can't wait to go back and camp next time. I won't say any names but we tried the same experience the day before at a close establishment. It was horrible, a long walk with no help, cash only, and a $80.00 cash deposit. The owner was very disrespectful also.

@meemosfarm #luxurylogcabin #meemosfarm #livingthedream #seclusion #secludedluxury #puremichigan…read more 2 weeks ago, my husband surprised me for our 17th wedding anniversary with a trip to Meemo's Farm. I had no idea where we were going but was just instructed to pack a swimsuit, comfy clothes (aka no "going out clothes") and some bug spray. Now, people who know me (especially my hubbie), knows I am not a fan of the outdoors nor do I like camping. It was a non-negotiable for me that I will never go camping with him. So, when I heard "bug spray", I was on high alert. As we continue our drive away from Chicago, I'm trying to get my bearings on which direction we're headed...nope, not Wisconsin, nope, not Purdue (where we graduated), but north after the Indiana border...aha! Michigan! However, that still did not help me figure out what we were going to do for our anniversary. At first, I thought, oh by the lake...then we drove inland...ehhh...that's when he lost me. For the life of me, I could not Sherlock Holmes my way into solving the mystery. A few hours later, we arrive at a building and met Mark, the "concierge". With his Australian accent, I half expected to see a kangaroo on this trip. However, we follow him on a dirt road and get to a gate that opens from the side with a sign saying "Meemo's Farm Game Preserve & Retreat" and I literally thought "Jurassic Park"! Aaaaaaaaaaaaah! I couldn't believe he was taking me camping. Then, as we continued through the road, passing trees, some creeks, more trees, we drive up to a log cabin and can see a lake in front of it. My first thought was "At least it wasn't a tent, but...we drove 5 hours to stay in a 1-room Lincoln Log House?" Mark opens the door...and I swear I am on "MTV Cribs"! We walk upon a threshold to the "Great Room" - complete with HUGE flat screen TV, leather sectional, dining room with an antler chandelier, and a state-of-the-art kitchen in a rustic log cabin house design. Then we go to the bottom floor that leads east and west - one towards the gym and the other to another kitchen, poker table, and....a 2-lane bowling alley!! It was indeed not a 1-room cabin, but a 3-bedroom, 4-bath luxury lodge complete with a hot tub on the top deck, comfy patio furniture, a fire pit, and a grill. Also, several great touches like towel warmers and heated floors in the bathrooms! We spent 3 days in this luxury retreat called "The Lanes" using the hot tub, bowling alley, gym, walking the woods, and basically resting and relaxing. This property sits on ~1,300 acres with several other cottages and has several activities including hunting, skeet shooting, ATV, horseback riding, etc. I now have fond memories of "glamping" in Michigan and look forward to our next visit! We'll bring more folks with us next time! Thank you, Meemo's Farm, and my hubbie for a wonderful anniversary weekend!

When you go into the meadowlands/foxglove cabins there's so carpet or wood floor it's only concrete. And the bunk beds felt kind of like prison beds. And a few of their food items there were a bit questionable..though on the second day there it was alit more packed. The worship time was amazing everyone had lots of fun and there was plenty of space. I do wish everything wasn't as expensive..but it's camp so. Also I was a little bit hoping for a bathroom in our cabin but we had to share one and it didn't smell or look like it had been cleaned which is why we used the one in the sanctuary instead it's much nicer. The game room and the gym were really nice and the other places were to. It was pretty much really nice except for the bathroom near the cabins and the foxglove cabin.But I think I would go again in the summer maybe where there's more to do!
