This public campground provides an excellent base for travelers seeking authentic camping experiences without the pretense of high-end resort amenities.

The lake itself is the centerpiece of this campground experience. Water lovers will find plenty to appreciate, whether you're interested in fishing, paddling, or simply enjoying the reflective beauty of the water at sunrise and sunset.

The location serves as a practical jumping-off point for exploring the broader Minnesota region. Visitors can venture out to discover local attractions, small towns with genuine character, and additional natural areas that showcase what makes Minnesota special. For those planning extended stays, the campground provides a comfortable home base from which to explore at your own pace.
This campground appeals to a wide range of travelers: families seeking affordable camping experiences, couples looking for peaceful getaways, retirees exploring the region at leisure, and outdoor enthusiasts who prioritize natural settings over luxury amenities.

Nice campground, no organized activities. Almost all seasonal campers. Your on your own for entertainment. Nice bike-walking trail, city public beach within walking distance. Babbitt small town but has a nice golf course. Ely about 15 miles away.

She was upset we had parked parallel in our 4 runner never touching the grass as she had instructed the day before. I stayed we were mot on the grass sand never was. She proceeded to tell me i needed to park straight in. I said ok. 5 min. Go by we are breaking down, she demands 20.00 for being late getting out it's not 11:00am yet!. I instructed my wife not to pay it as we were ready to go. What a bloody terrible place to stay. Never ever again. We travel extensively and have never been treated so poorly!!!!!
