This is a great park with access to BWCA via day permits that can be done right at the boat landing for the day you need it. Each campsite seems private with lots of wooded area and many with easy access or view of Fall Lake. The camp works are very friendly and accommodating. We liked it so much we extended our stay. There is NOT a dump station though and we could not find the one in Ely; only frustrating part of our trip.
Went hiking, canoeing, fishing and biking. Although, there are no bike trails but the roadside seemed safe with only 7-8 miles to Ely (less to Winton).

Large sites, nicely spaced apart with lots of trees in between. Nice places to walk along roads and there are some trails, as well. Nice bathrooms with shower. Water available throughout areas in campground. Can fill up your tank at office area. We did have electric and but need to take camper to dump station in Ely, about 6 miles away. The lake is really pretty with lots of areas to get down to shoreline. We enjoyed the whole area. Found a nice waterfall not too far away (about 3 miles driving) that was a pretty easy hike to get to. Would certainly go back again.
