Amazing group site. Had nice male, female, family showers and restrooms. Had water near the pavillion. Had lots of picnic tables and nice fire pit. Nice path down to the lake.

Had to reserve two nights, but due to schedule changes could not make it until the second day. The staff at Fall Lake Campground were accommodating and made our arrival and stay seamless. Upon arrival the site was clean, accommodated our three tents and we got a good nights rest before our journey into the BWCA the next day. Restrooms were clean, shower was great, and the facility felt safe and well maintained. Parking was great - we were gone four days, no issues. The campsites were very shaded, the boat ramp was wide, access was perfect. Good job!!!!!
