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.

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!

Purple Palace Tiny Tree House

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.

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.

Site 4 Delightful

Earthy and Magical!

Betty’s property is gorgeous, delightfully quirky, and downright magical-especially if you take the time to wander the crisscrossing meadow paths, garden labyrinth, soak up the star view, and enjoy the campfire with other guests. We stayed at site #4 which felt private and was just a quick walk to the drop toilet. The other three tent sites are side by side and near the community fire pit and bathroom. I’d be fine with staying in those too but they aren’t private if that’s what you seek! The shower is a little farther over by the house and cute little artist shop. It is a rustic camp ground and just lovely! The shared fire pit has a grate for cooking over it and chairs are also supplied. There is a little setup with power to heat water, charge your phone, or make toast! (BYO bread ;) ) Betty is fabulous. We celebrated my birthday over the weekend and she delivered some yummy treats and sang me a sweet birthday song! I’ll never forget it. Betty does a great job enforcing the 11pm quiet hours. You can tell she loves hosting. Upon departure she sent us off with some delicious organic pears!

Site 1 / Magnificence Spender

We enjoyed our stay at their farm a lot. They do the hosting pretty well, with the area around the outhouse having a foot pump sink and a coffee maker and a toaster plugged in. The provided water was nice. They were nice and even tho the sites are next to each other, there was enough room that be comfortable. The directions were good, and it was easy to find.
