Plainwell, MI 49080
Complimentary (free), optional lodging is available on-site for the whole weekend (Friday-Sunday) if desired. There are also a handful of RV sites (no electric/water hookups) if you'd prefer to bring your trailer and camp. You don't have to stay on site - this is just a bonus feature if you'd like to take advantage of it! For guests who are planning to stay overnight at camp, you can check in any time after 3 pm on Friday evening. Check-out will be by 11 am on Sunday morning. Meals outside of the reception will be on your own. Lodging provided is camp-style cabins with electricity but no running water. Bathrooms and kitchenette areas with running water and electricity are within a 2-5 minute walk of every cabin. Cabins will be shared with other family or friends that you know (Peter and Jess will plan this part). You can find out more info about the lodging options and details on our Lodging page.
