Turn your MoCool into a weekend by the lake! Come a day early, walk in the woods, then take a morning swim the day after! Great for both out-of-towners and locals who don't want to drive home after the picnic.

Camp Woodbury on Nordman Lake has been home to MoCool for over a decade, and has several different types of facilities on-site for overnight stays. Several nicely rehabbed one and two bedroom rustic cabins have become a favorite crash pad. Each cabin has kitchen facilities and a shared bath.

There's also a newer cabin with four bedrooms: a king and a queen bedroom, each with private baths, plus a queen and double-bunked bedrooms that share a bath. No kitchen facilities in this cabin, but an outdoor grill is available for your use.

New in 2019 were a renovated bunkhouse with four beds, three RV spaces with electric hookups, and five tent sites. These facilities share a newly-constructed bath house with two toilets, two showers (handicap accessible) and laundry facilities.

COST?

Beds in the cabins are $85 per person for the first night, $80 per night for two nights, and $75 per night for three nights -- and they normally fill quickly. The new bunkhouse costs $30 per person, per night. RV spaces are $50 per night, and tent sites are $40.

If you're interested, contact Mike Hughes, our Booking Bro, no later than July 20. Let him know what type of accommodation you'd like, the number of people (if you're looking for cabin space), and the nights you'd like to stay (Thursday through Saturday are available). So you know, priority goes to out-of-towners, MoCoolers who stayed on-site in previous years, those who want to stay multiple nights (as opposed to just Saturday), and larger groups that "fit" the available space.

Please don't pay for on-site lodging until Mike confirms your reservation -- which he'll do by July 27. With your confirmation, he'll send you a dedicated link to pay for lodging. Fair warning: we can't give refunds for lodging if you cancel or don't show up, unless someone else takes the space.

For out-of-towners who aren't staying on-site, Ann Arbor is a wonderful place to spend a couple of days playing tourist, before or after MoCool. Lots of new hotels have popped up in recent years, so for accommodations in the vicinity, we encourage you to check this page, or your favorite booking site, keeping in mind that MoCool takes place on the far west side of town. Wherever you'd like to stay, we suggest making reservations ASAP, since there are frequently NASCAR races or conventions the same weekend as MoCool, so hotel space is sometimes at a premium.

JUST WHAT IS MoCOOL?

MoCool -- the Motown Co-Operative Off-Line -- is the world's longest-running off-line gathering of wired wine lovers, started in 1992 by a group in the Detroit / Ann Arbor area. Over the years, our annual summer tastings have brought together wine lovers from across the US and Canada, and as far away as France, South Africa and New Zealand!

The event is non-profit, run by a loosely organized group of volunteers for the purpose of enjoying good wines, good food, and socializing with fellow wine lovers. If you've read this far and that idea sounds pretty good to you, then you're probably one of us!
