We had a great stay at Fall Lake CG.The town of Ely was a lot of fun to visit and this was a very convenient location to visit the town. We really enjoyed the North American Bear Center and the Dorothy Molter Museum The campground was clean. The staff was friendly. We were overrun with mosquitoes but that was nobodys fault but the wet weather.

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.

Great place to stay.
@RickS5239002 · Camped on Jun 25, 2025 at Campsite #32
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.
@RobinsonS53DE6 · Camped on Jun 22, 2025 at Campsite #14
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.

My first time at Fall Lake Campground and it was one of my most enjoyable State Campground experiences. Well laid out and maintained. New shower houses are a treat and love the old growth forests and myriad lakes. Especially love the proximity to Ely.
@AmyH6621534 · Camped on Jun 22, 2025 at Campsite #17
Campgrounds are clean. The campground hosts are helpful and informative. Love going there, always a sad day when we leave.
@PaulK4963226 · Camped on Jun 19, 2025 at Campsite #21
Extremely nice facility with easy canoe access at all lakeside campsites. Modern restrooms and showers are well maintained and clean. Nice space between camp sites.

@DebraH5241180 · Camped on Jun 19, 2025 at Campsite #27
Our first time staying here and we discovered every site was beautiful! The sites were spaced nicely for privacy, as were the the bathrooms also nicely spaced for accessability. And the bathrooms and grounds were so clean! We were impressed with the campground and while there was only 1 hiking path to Stub Lake which was overgrown, hiking is plentiful in the area. You can also purchase day passes for the BWCA on site, of which Fall Lake is part of. Overnight passes need to be purchased elsewhere. Highly recommend campground, perhaps for older children. There is a nice beach and playground for the youngers, but would be a hike depending on campsite location.
@PaulH7895659 · Camped on Jun 15, 2025 at Campsite #22
The campsites were clean, well spaced and private, the bathrooms clean and the location was wonderful. The beach was clean and the water perfect. Snapping and painted turtles were everywhere along with birds like loons and merganser ducks.
@KathyS2503995 · Camped on Jun 15, 2025 at Campsite #10
We enjoyed paddling and biking from this campground. Its fun that the lake is partially in the BW. Biking the Fernberg was fun, too. I wish there were some hiking trails right from the campground (other than Stub Lake).
@DianeH7062458 · Camped on Jun 15, 2025 at Campsite #21
Wonderful
@OksanaOE1A7428 · Camped on Jun 13, 2025 at Campsite #23
It was the most magical. Clean sites, quiet. Beautiful beaches. Walkable to beach or just exploring the area. Will be back.
@AdamH5439817 · Camped on Jun 12, 2025 at Campsite #24
Always a great time. Nice private sites and clean bathrooms.
@BrianN3757947 · Camped on Jun 11, 2025 at Campsite #10
Was far more than I expected. Definitely going back.
@AnnC6240BA6538 · Camped on Jun 6, 2025 at Campsite #2
Volunteer hosts are so nice and helpful. Campground and bathrooms are always clean and picked up. Now if we could get rid of the sand flies wed be in good shape!!

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
