Beside being a beautiful campground, all of the host are amazing. They keep the grounds well maintained, and the bathrooms clean.

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.

Our site was spacious and private. The mosquitoes in June were horrible. On the third day of our seven day reservation we had a Tornado Warning with heavy rain. We left for home on that third day. Glad we did as a tornado saw sighted 30 mi from the campground. I tried to cancel the last 4 days but was unable to do so. We lost out on money and another party lost out on the beautiful weekend that followed the storm. We will try again in very early spring or in the Fall next year.

I was there only one night but wish I’d had more time. You can fill your RV tank with pitable water available at the edge of the Visitor Center parking lot. My site was very private, surrounded by trees, and facing forest. There was a spacious area to the back of my site with a picnic table and fire ring. There was only one site in view from mine and it happened to be empty. It pretty much felt like O had the forest to myself which I loved!

Facilities and service was great, but there has to be something they can do about the mosquitoes. My time at the campground was spent in the tent or in the car, because I would be carried away and eaten if I spent more than a few minutes outside. They eat bug spray for breakfast. There's got to be a spray or something the campground can do.

This is a beautiful campground. Having no water at the site was a worthwhile chore because of the wonderful site we had. Convenient to Ely, Fall Lake also has excellent cell coverage.

Excellent campground. We were in Site 3, a little too close to the dumpster. Have previously stayed in other spots, that were better; however, Site 3 is close to the bathrooms/shower. Much to do in Ely.
