We were big State Park campers because they are so nice, but Fall Lake topped them. It is the Best place we ever camped at. The staff is exceptional the campsites are Huge and all the campsites are very private and wooded. We are going back again this fall and plan on every year going to Fall Lake to camp.

The maintenance in the campground is top notch. All the sites are mostly private. I really enjoyed my stay. Lots to do in the area. The mosquitos were a little ridiculous this time around though.

I do not recommend site 2. It is on there septic, and they were there to pump at 8 am. We smelled sewer for the first night.
I also can't believe I reserved that spot as I know the park and there are, many other sites that I would have reserved. I was sure that I didn't but was put there any ways.

Well kept campground, sites and bathrooms. Our campsite overlooked the lake, had a lot of room, and it was very private with at least 50 feet of trees in between our site and the next one.

Beautiful wooded area with warblers singing overhead. Mosquitos desended on us in the evenings and were still around in the morning in spite of being cold. Good campsite, would return. June 13-15 2023.

Everything was great! However, the washroom code was not on my invoice. Fortunately the people are so friendly we were given it by other campers.

We love this campground but this year, for some reason, the mosquitoes were beyond extreeme. There were swarms of them waiting for us every time we got out of the camper. After two nights of very little sleep because they were getting in the camper, we had to leave. we plan on returning again next year and hopefully the mosquitoes are not as bad as this year.
The campground in general is just wonderful. The workers are always friendly and the facilities are always neat and clean. I always recomend this place to anyone I talk to.
