Campground rates will increase

Babbitt City Campground rates are set to rise from $50 to $65 for daily site rentals and $80 for weekend and holiday rentals.

These changes will come into effect for the 2026 season and will include a three-night minimum stay for holidays and a two-night minimum reservation on weekends.

The changes come after last month’s budget meeting in which members of the public expressed discontent with the city’sannualcampgroundbond payment. The bond expense is set to be sourced from tax revenue - rather than department rents - beginning next year.
