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.

Fall Lake camp ground was very clean and well maintained. They put out colored pine cones for the kids to find and my grandson just loved it. Camp host were very helpful. We had a great time at Fall Lake.

This campground was amazing! I usually stay at a campground on the edge of the BWCA before and/or after a trip. It was so nice having modern facilities, hot showers, and a nice camp site. I also loved how the had bingo and painted pine cones for a fun children’s activities for prizes. When I go to the Ely side again, I’m definitely staying here!

Always fun to be at Fall Lake! They do an excellent job at maintaining the campground. We wish there were (more) bike trails but really that’s our only wish.

We stayed here before entering the BWCAW at the Fall Lake entrance. The campsites and restrooms were clean, and the location couldn't be beat!
