Very knowledgeable - all the staff are very friendly and helpful. Maggie shared lots of good information! Enjoyed the deer on the nearby Milt Stenlund Trail - it's a paved (asphalt) trail, great for walking, hiking, running, and biking.

We loved our family camping trip to Fall Lake! It exceeded our expectations and we will definitely be back. There are so many great campsites, and many with access to the lake. The campground managers are all so kind and helpful, and our toddler loved visiting the office to say hello to them and get some cookies. We can't wait to stay here again next summer!
