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!

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.
