About
All campsites at Babawasse Campground have electrical service. A small comfort station provides flush toilets, showers and laundry facilities and is centrally located. Playground equipment is offered at the small private camper’s beach. The name “Babwasee” finds its roots in the Ojibway language meaning “a lake is seen through the woods”.
