This park is absolutely beautiful!! The camp sites are very woodsy, big and secluded. The fact that they have a bath/shower house that is soo nice was a major plus!! We will definitely be back!

It was all good. We entered the BWCAW the next morning so we did not stay long. There was a barking dog that had been left in the camper alone when we first retired but the owners came home soon after. We had to get the bathroom code from another camper since the main building was closed when we arrived.

Fantastic. Quiet. Camp hosts are amazing! The lake is wonderful! This was so great! The sites are big and spacious. The bathrooms are amazing! The mosquitoes and rain were brutal but nothing you can do about that! The canoe rental process was amazing. Fantastic trip!

We had a great stay at Fall Lake CG.
The town of Ely was a lot of fun to visit and this was a very convenient location to visit the town. We really enjoyed the North American Bear Center and the Dorothy Molter Museum The campground was clean. The staff was friendly.
We were overrun with mosquitoes but that was nobody’s fault but the wet weather.
