Directions to the Gladwin Refuge
These directions will get you to the Alibi Hall; an old white barn used as trial headquarters, lunches, dinners and meetings.
Get to Meredith Mi. It’s on all maps I’ve ever looked. M 18, south of M 55 & Prudenville approx. 12 miles, north of Gladwin some amount of miles (I didn’t count ‘em). It’s a wide spot in the road, has a bar, 2 restaurants, a party store and a couple other commercial buildings.
Meredith Grade Rd passes thru town east to west. Before reaching Meredith Grade Rd, in both directions, there is a large DNR sign, 8 feet wide, 5 feet high. The sign reads:
Meredith Snowmobile Staging Area
State Forest Campground
Follow this sign.
Go East on Meredith Grade rd 1.5 miles (at 1 mile the road turns to gravel, keep going east)
At 1.5 miles turn left, north. There is a street sign, Joy Dr., and a small campground sign.
Go north 0.8 miles, turn right, east. There is a small campground sign at this intersection.
Go east about 0.1 miles. Bear right following the sign to the camp ground(s).
At the STOP sign bear left towards House Lake Campground.
About 200 yards bear right and then bear left a few hundred yards later. Look to your left as you enter the large field. That’s the Alibi Hall. That’s Field Trial Central.
These are nice State Forest Camping areas. A lot of folk’s camp. This is a rustic (no hookups), 3P, campground, pit toilets, pump & picnic table. Please register and pay before setting camp. In 2006 the cost was $10/night.
