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.

The location and park are ideal, with excellent facilities and wonderful staff. The Ely area, in addition, offers a treasure chest of sites to visit, learn from and explore. Loved falling asleep to and waking with the Loon calls.

i was nervous about the lake being a motorized lake, and we were doing an overnight paddle.
I would say the motor boats were not as numerous as I thought - and it didn't impact our trip much. Was a good lake to paddle into for an overnight camping.

We were big State Park campers because they are so nice, but Fall Lake topped them. It is the Best place we ever camped at. The staff is exceptional the campsites are Huge and all the campsites are very private and wooded. We are going back again this fall and plan on every year going to Fall Lake to camp.
