Fall Lake

The campsite was great, but the online map & photos I used when I made the reservation didn't clearly show the shared drive with the next site. For us, this is a concern because we have dogs, and we try to select sites that have the least possibly visual contact with neighbors to avoid any barking issues. Now that we've seen the campground, we can make different site selections.

The US Forest Service employee in the office was helpful and she provided excellent information.

The detractor was the broken women's shower in one of the buildings, and the overall aged condition of the showers. The family bathroom/shower was functional, but it was often occupied. When the buildings are remodeled, I hope they consider adding more showers.

We hope to be back again! Thank you!

Reservation and check-in was easy. I had access to lake from my site. Being able to shower was great!

One of the better Forest Service campgrounds that we have ever been to (and we've been to many). Mosquitoes were a problem, but hey it's Minnesota in the summer. Can't get away from the buggers! Popular campground so you have to make reservations well in advance. Some of the sites are a little tricky to back into with long trailers (ours is a 37' 5th wheel) because the roads are narrow. Densely wooded so its near impossible to find a opening to get satellite reception if that's your thing. Been there multiple times and have yet to find a site that we could get the dish set up. That's OK too. More time to enjoy the surroundings. There's a dump station ($5.00) at the info center in Ely. Ely is a fun town to explore and the bear and wolf centers are worth a visit.

We had a hard time getting our 30' Airstream camper down the hill into our site. It was very buggy. John
