The campground was clean and quiet. Site #62 was perfect for our 30' trailer and pickup. It was flat and wooded with access to the lake shore. The campground had clean bathrooms, a nice beach, play area for the children and helpful campground hosts. We will definitely return!

Beautiful campground. Every site that we saw could handle a smaller trailer and had a level tent pad as well. We were planning to just stay at this campground our first night, but it was so beautiful we moved to three different sites and stayed at our third for multiple nights. We could bring our kayaks to our own little beach and just paddle from there. Nice clean bathrooms, great people, super experience. Our last sight was on a little hill with a good view of the lake, and great privacy. It was an electric site which was a bonus.

We stayed at the Fall Lake campground the last full weekend of July 2022. The campground and the showers/bathrooms were sparkling clean; the camp hosts are doing an amazing job! The campground was quiet during quiet hours, the sites are relatively private, and the roads were nice for taking our dog for her daily walk. We are hikers, so the campground was a nice base camp of sorts for the trails we wanted to do. We also walked the Stub Lake trail which was located within walking distance to the campsites. We brought our kayaks and weren't disappointed by the well-kept beach; the playground is an added bonus for those with children. We will be making this an annual destination!

It is a beautiful and quiet campground. Furthermore, the campground employees/hosts/volunteers are super kind! We had to switch sites from one night to another and they found us a site that required a move across the street—that was utter kindness for us!
