We are the only campground on the Iron Range to offer camping options for people who want to camp, but don't have gear or a camper/RV of their own. We want camping to be accessible to everyone. When you visit Gilbert and our area attractions, you can rent one of our new tent-cabins or you can book any of our traditional tent sites and add a rental tent. We take care of setting everything up ... just pack your vehicle and hit the road!
Welcome to Kabina Schley and Kabina Pettit -- our newest camping experience!
Kabina is the Slovenian word for cabin -- our family immigrated from Slovenia in the 1950s and settled in Gilbert. Schley and Pettit are the names of two of three mines that created Lake Ore-Be-Gone in Gilbert. The words together represent our family heritage and our hometown mining history!
Just $135 Weeknights or $155 Per Night On The Weekend (plus taxes and fees)

Kabina Pettit is tucked in the woods above our A section and has a 15x15 pad for an additional tent with space for up to two hammocks tied between the trees. Parking for up to three vehicles is at the edge of a short walking trail - vehicles are prohibited on the walking trail. Trailers must park in our overflow parking area.
Kabina Schley has one of the best views in the campground and the top of our D section, a gathering space around a large fire-ring and space for up to two hammocks.
