We love Fall Lake. The wooded campsites offer privacy. The raised fire rings are safer for younger children. The beach and swimming area is kept clean and the facilities are top-notch.

We love camping here especially since we are only an hour away and we have the lifetime senior pass so we save some money! It's so quiet and the birds singing also with Ely being 10 minutes down the road we usually go in town for lunch or dinner so many choices ! Also we see Zups Grocery store has a deli so its another option they also have poles and cheddar delight polish you can cook on the fire pit at the campground! We picked up a steak reasonably priced and cooked on the grill at our fire pit took about a half an hour but was so good! The camp ground has a beach and play ground water at the beach is nice temperature a little tannin color but not bad the staff are so nice also have a bike trail or ride the road wonderful!

Amazing campground, well cared for and quiet. Bathrooms were clean, and not busy as there are multiple facilities throught the area. Sites are spacious, and private - everyone we met was kind and offered to assist with anything we needed. Beach, park and walking paths were well taken care of, and the perfect size for our kiddos.
Everyone in town was great, bear center was a hit and planning to return next summer to the wolf center. Hike to the local falls was easy even our toddler made it. Absolutely no complaints and one of the nicest campgrounds we have visited.

We rented canoes from Packsack and they delivered them right to the fall lake entrance point with the motor and paddles. We stayed at the fall lake came site and found that to be a very quiet and pleasant experience.

The campground is clean and well maintained. The bathrooms are excellent. Ely is only 8 miles away and there is fun stuff to do there. Ideally located for serious fishermen with their own motor boats. Numerous lakes nearby.
