We enjoyed a peaceful stay amongst the trees. The showers were good. Water was available at the office, and the dump station in Ely was fine. The park was very quiet, and phone and internet were just a short trip into town at the library.

The site was great, lots of trees around us and fairly private. The campground rents canoes for exploring the lake. All very convenient. The staff provided great recommendations.

We loved camping at this quiet, clean campground. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. The bathrooms and showers were clean and well cared for. Campsites were large and well-spaced. The lake is beautiful, and an easy entrance into the BWCA. We will be coming back in the future!

Rented a canoe from the campground and took a little trip into the boundary waters. Beautiful! The Camp hosts were friendly and very helpful.

This is the best campground in the Ely area. Perfectly situated just outside the BWCA, Fall Lake offers a great lake to paddle around. Canoe or kayak across the lake to Mile Long Island, which has great little spots to picnic. The hosts are professional and friendly. Stop by the camp office/store for treats or fun activities for the kids. The restrooms are clean and showers warm. The campsites are level and well-situated for tents or trailers. This is somewhere we camp every year.

A very nice NF campground

Workers and hosts were great. Our camp site was not so great because it was tiny compared to most sites, although we made it work. Make sure you have the dimentions of your campsite or you may be stuck with an area that isn't large enough for your tent or camper.

@MelissaS832578 · Camped on Aug 1, 2025 at Campsite #58
This park is absolutely beautiful!! The camp sites are very woodsy, big and secluded. The fact that they have a bath/shower house that is soo nice was a major plus!! We will definitely be back!
@TeresaR5842699 · Camped on Jul 31, 2025 at Campsite #56
The volunteers are amazing!!!
@ScottP5976595 · Camped on Jul 31, 2025 at Campsite #5
It was all good. We entered the BWCAW the next morning so we did not stay long. There was a barking dog that had been left in the camper alone when we first retired but the owners came home soon after. We had to get the bathroom code from another camper since the main building was closed when we arrived.
@JoyceL9584625 · Camped on Jul 21, 2025 at Campsite #28
Fantastic. Quiet. Camp hosts are amazing! The lake is wonderful! This was so great! The sites are big and spacious. The bathrooms are amazing! The mosquitoes and rain were brutal but nothing you can do about that! The canoe rental process was amazing. Fantastic trip!

Clean site, very good location
@JillH9395170 · Camped on Jul 15, 2025 at Campsite #63
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.
@MaureenT755180 · Camped on Jul 14, 2025 at Campsite #48
Beautiful location. Large site. Facilities clean and well maintained.
@MichaelS838841 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #28
Wonderful campground! Sites are well maintaned and the campground hosts are the best! Restroom are spotless each time we have been there. We have been here several times and its so worth the 4 hour drive to come! Highly recommeded!!
@AndrewS4701634 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #14
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.
@MichaelD829846 · Camped on Jul 13, 2025 at Campsite #15
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!

Beautiful park and organized. The volunteer staff is very friendly and helpful.
@CourtneyB98483 · Camped on Jun 29, 2025 at Campsite #17
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.

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.

@Wondering - Oregon

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!!!
