Best campground we've ever been too. It was very family friendly. Bathrooms were clean, showers were warm, all staff was friendly and accommodating. We absolutely will be coming back every summer.

Just as good as I remember from last year except the fire pits where not as clean and there was a small amount of trash on 1 of our 2 sites. Otherwise, everything was just as good as the excellent I rated last year. The staff were friendly and helpful as always. See you guys next year, hopefully.

Campsite was good and restrooms were nice. You have to have a code to enter the restrooms, but the code was never given to me. I had to ask another camper for the code.

Best campsite ever, but the greatest thing about Fall Lake is the ladies who check you in and out at the station. Hats off to you! They are the best!
