Campground was beautifully maintained. Each camp sight was private, well groomed and beautiful. Both the beach and the boat landing were wonderful. An excellent camping experience.

We were in site 18 this year and really liked it. It was large and we had a lot of privacy. As usual, the shower houses were clean and orderly.

Campgrounds at Fall Lake are very clean as are the bathrooms. The hosts are knowledgeable and friendly.
We had a sites both overlooking the lake and a pull through both of which were very nice. Each site is pretty secluded from other sites around you too. While the fishing was not great due to the may fly hatch it still was fun grabbing a canoe and paddling around the lake.
I would highly recommend this campground to anyone in all modes of camping - tent, camper, etc.

Beautiful clean campground. Hosts were very friendly. Only suggestion would be to clear the hiking trail a little bit.
