Llama Meadows Farm is a sixteen acre organic fruit and vegetable farm. Located in Beautiful Benzie Country, in Northwestern Lower Michigan. We are one mile south of Crystal Lake and six miles east of Lake Michigan. Our-house is super insulated and passive solar. We had llamas for their wool and manure. We retired from raising llamas, we had 12 they got old and moved on. We have around 50 fruit trees. The fruit we grow includes apples, pears, figs and paw paws. We also grow grapes, and kiwis, we also put in filberts, walnuts and pecans. We have a beautiful labyrinth peace garden. We don't want barbecue pits on the ground it burns the grass Please check Extras for Pet fees, Campfire Wood and Electric.

We loved staying here! Betty is incredibly friendly and caring. There was clear communication about our stay and we were greeted upon arrival. Plenty of tables and chairs around the community fire.

Safe, lovely, and central

Llama camp is just so dreamy and sweet. This was our second time back and we intend to make it n annual trip. The grounds are gorgeous, the facilities are terrific (rustic but all we need) and the trails winding through the property are just so special. For our pop up, the space was flat, easy to pull into, electric hookup was easy and water was flowing. Also- the location can’t be beat. From the campground there are many gorgeous beaches, wineries, breweries, towns, restaurants, galleries, minigolf, ice cream shops and anything you could possibly want. It’s so central. Betty and Marty are fabulous hosts and just make you feel so warm and welcome. It’s safe, open, accepting, and just full of friendliness and love. We’ve met great people during both of our stays. I highly highly recommend Llovely Meadows. Just don’t take our spot next year!

Glamping in a purple treehouse!

Betty is a fabulous host who takes alot of pride in her property and is thorough with making sure her guests enjoy their experience. Plenty of fresh well water to drink, handwashing stations, very clean and creatively decorated. Excellent recommendations for restaurants in the area or plenty of utensils onsite to cook your own. Plenty of area to go for walks and I love their friendly dog who came with! Fresh organic produce grown on site.

Can you just go to bed please!?!?

Positive: Campsite was large, with picnic table & water cooler. Trails were nice to walk on. Negative: 2nd night neighbors next to us were drinking/loud until 1:30 am. We got up @ 7 am, packed & left. We are very silly& funny people and were kidding with each other as we packed. (Quiet time - 11 pm to 7 am). I complained about noise and much later was accused via text of fighting with my partner while packing up. Also accused of having a mean dog because she barked 2 times in am. (we put her in vehicle after 2nd bark and she was fine). Didn’t seem to matter that I was kept awake for 2 & 1/2 hours after quiet time the night before☹️ I would suggest monitoring camp more during the late evening and possibly giving warning of upcoming quiet times to those who are loud.

Site 4 Delightful

This campsite is quiet and private, where we stayed for two nights. On the first night, we enjoyed the bright night sky, with the Milky Way and a full dome of stars, simply sitting, gazing, and reflecting. Around midnight, we were slightly startled by the howling of a group of coyotes, but felt safe knowing the host had assured us they would stay away from the riven. The second night was cooler and a bit damp, but the sky remained clear, and the sunset was beautiful. It’s such a nice place, though we regret not joining the big campfire that most campers gathered around that night.

Purple Palace Tiny Tree House

My partner and I enjoyed our time in the tree house and on the property! The hosts are very involved and always around, we enjoyed the conversation and community aspect. The property and garden areas were truly beautiful. The stargazing is such a unique experience, with very limited light pollution, all of the constellations are clearly defined. There was so many thoughtful details throughout our stay- including extra bedding, a space heater for the cold nights, she even put some of our favorite teas in the tree house for us to enjoy during our stay. These hosts truly went above and beyond! Quiet hours are strictly enforced as the campsites, campfire and tree house are very close to Betty and Marty’s house.
