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.

Next morning we returned from breakfast and a meeting to be greeted by her as I got out of car at 10:40 AM. She was visibly upset. 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!!!!!
