Camping

Ogemaw County Fairgrounds are beautiful, with picnic tables at every camping spot, and clean restrooms. Pay at the caretaker's house, to the right after you pass the ticket booth, cash only. If for some reason the caretaker isn't there, go ahead and choose a spot - someone will be around during your stay to let you pay. The last we heard, all campspots, primitive and electric/water, are $20 per night, but this is subject to change without notice, and we have no control or say.

Hotels

Thank you for making this yet another fabulous sheep and fiber year!
