Fall Lake has beautiful large private campsites well spaced out. The dense forest provides so much privacy. The sites and washrooms are clean and well maintained. The campground management is onsite and very helpful. Their presence creates an atmosphere of respect for fellow campers and nature. Fall Lake is one of my favourite campsites in North America.

The campground is a great spot to jump off into the BWCA. We stayed there one night and walked around and saw many people having an enjoyable time.
The campground host was very helpful; making sure we had what we needed and would enjoy our stay.
