Fall Lake Campground is praised for its beautiful, well-maintained sites, friendly staff, and clean facilities, making it a favorite among campers. Many appreciate the private, wooded areas and proximity to hiking trails and the city of Ely. Some minor issues were reported, including occasional odors and the need for a nearby dump station, but overall, visitors enjoy returning to this peaceful and scenic campground.

Love this campground. We really enjoy kayaking along Mile Island and near the beach. Campsites are fairly private, which we LOVE! Always enjoy the chipmunks, Franklins, red squirrels and birds that come to our campsite/feeder.

Excellent campground. We were in Site 3, a little too close to the dumpster. Have previously stayed in other spots, that were better; however, Site 3 is close to the bathrooms/shower. Much to do in Ely.

This is a beautiful campground. Having no water at the site was a worthwhile chore because of the wonderful site we had. Convenient to Ely, Fall Lake also has excellent cell coverage.

Facilities and service was great, but there has to be something they can do about the mosquitoes. My time at the campground was spent in the tent or in the car, because I would be carried away and eaten if I spent more than a few minutes outside. They eat bug spray for breakfast. There's got to be a spray or something the campground can do.

I was there only one night but wish I’d had more time. You can fill your RV tank with pitable water available at the edge of the Visitor Center parking lot. My site was very private, surrounded by trees, and facing forest. There was a spacious area to the back of my site with a picnic table and fire ring. There was only one site in view from mine and it happened to be empty. It pretty much felt like O had the forest to myself which I loved!
