Great place to stay. Helpful and friendly staff. I stayed on the long term side and was working nights. I was very surprised how quite it was during the day while I was sleeping. If you have never been to the Falls Campground, be aware there is a 2 mile stretch of road off of highway 23 that is curvy and narrow. I didn’t go out the other way.

What a wonderful location! The area was clean, and the guests were friendly while we were on-site doing a senior photo shoot. The falls look amazing behind the model! I'll definitely be back next year!
