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.

The campground was nice enough and the people friendly but I was surprised to find out that we booked a campsite with electricity and payed a higher price for it and was charged an additional fee of $26.00 for electric (for 4 days). Just did not make sense and we had another couple camping and they were charged the same way. Another thing that I found surprising is that they do not have a dump station and we had to go into town and pay to dump our tanks. There are a lot of other campgrounds that I will go to before I would ever go back to Fall Lake.

Wonderful staff, very clean facilities. Easy to rent canoes! The camping spots are separated very nicely.

Wonderful campgrounds! Private camp sites and clean bathrooms. Our site, however, was difficult to back into. The narrow road and steep deep ditches presented a challenge.
