Our experience with the rangers thru Outdoor Afros MN Stephen Scott and Caitlyn Utley was so amazing, the welcome and the stay and accomodations was paramount and exceptional. The time they took to teach us and inform us and the enthusiasm they have about what they do radiated in us with so much understanding and knowledge. The hospitality shown and the experience we had with the rangers Makayla Aaron Maggie and of course Kes Ebbs and a few others whom were equally amazing but my mind has lost their names was enlightening informing and wonderful. First time to Ely and the superior forest and the entire experience had me on clouds so high and natural . It was winter wonderland with beautiful folks every where we went. Ill be back some day and I hope so many more venture deep north to the end of this busy life to the beginning if the wilderness where humanity shows out ❤️✨️ Thank you for a forever memory adventure

The Fall Lake Campground is always wonderful. Clean and well maintained. Rix and Sherri are always so friendly and accommodating as are the other campground hosts and helpers. We have been camping here for 20+ years and so have some of our friends that we recommended the campground to. It is always nice to see some of the other regulars we have met over the years.
A class operation.

Great campground, even though it's large. Well dispersed sites in the Lake loop.

This is a tent-only site, so no hookups for electricity or water, which is exactly what we needed. However, despite being inaccessible for a trailer, the site is 100% gravel, which is disappointing for tenters...
