The Minot Park Board has decided to charge tourists at the Night Camp maintained in Riverside Park at the rate of 50 cents per night. Last season no charge was made for the first night. Most of the better night camps of the country are now charging tourists who would rather pay a nominal fee and receive service accordingly. Minot has one of the very finest night camps in the west, located in a beautiful wooded spot in the park. The tourists are given free wood, police protection, night and day, and this year an electric washing machine will be installed for their free use. If they want to use the shower baths at the Municipal bath house, this service is also free, or they may use the swimming pool by paying a nominal fee for towels.

Why We Chose It
In town camping in a welcoming safe spot… Minot had an idea to bring that back not long ago in the neighborhood where Ben’s Tavern used to stand, close to downtown and the fair grounds, but it in spite of community support, it never found a shepherd in local government.
