Campsites are fairly open, but some do have trees between. Flat ground, and easy to drive in or pitch a tent. Washrooms are basic, but have hot water and flush toilets. Showers are very rudimentary and pay, but $2 is enough to wash all the bits if you hussle. Overall it a decent provincial Park Campground. There is a restaurant and gas station right next door as well.

Reasonably roomy campsites. A bit crowded and not much privacy between. The area for garbage was not marked on my map but I did find it. It needs a better setup.

Rooms is not applicable so I'll leave it blank. This was our first time camping here and I do not see us going back. There is another campground in Falcon we stayed at before a little further east than the beach campground. It, like Opapiskaw, and Otter Falls in my opinion are better. There are a more trees and a bit more privacy and distance between sites. At Falcon Beach, you are RIGHT beside your neighbors. Too close. I mean trailer, picnic table and screen tent and neighbors trailer and repeat. The bathrooms were okay. And the kids liked the free wifi, even though it kicks you off every 10mins or so. You're supposed to be enjoying nature but our girls were doing homework. My son just wanted his device for social media and games so too bad. Wifi not important to me or my wife. We just won't be returning because the lack or trees and closeness of the sites was more like a community gathering than the camping experience we are used to and enjoy. Some people like this. To each their own. What you see in the site pictures was accurate. We hoped it was outdated. Not upset though, this is why we try different spots. So many wonderful beautiful sites in the whiteshell and Manitoba in general that we will continue to explore. Falcon Beach Campground is just not for us.

Large group of inconsiderate campers ruin the weekend. This is a full service campground with sites described on the website as "standard" width and length. In reality they should use the word squishy. The sites are jammed together, so you better not mind people all around your campsite, some staring into your trailer. There are some pull-thrus that have more space, but there is no privacy. Smaller trailers will need a long water hose and electrical cord as the services are spaced out quite far on each site. A group of 15 occuped the three sites adjacent to us. Some of them showed up at 2am in a trailer and chose to setup, including banging and clanging until 3am, instead of waiting till the morning. They put out several strings of bright lights. The second night at midnight we had had enough and called park security. They attended and the noise stopped and lights were turned off. Unfortunately the noise started again about five minutes later. This group, which included older adults, 20-something children, and several teens, had no regard for anyone around them. The ideas of 'nature', 'wilderness', 'environment', were lost on these people. They were there to party, make noise, and disregard any and all around them. What I found interesting though, was that several campers in the area didn't seem to be bothered by them. I can only believe that these people were used to this behavior and have come to expect it. When I expressed my frustration and concerns with staff the next day, they apologized but didn't seem too concerned. If this is the state of camping at Falcon Lake, count me out!

We had a great night here, bathrooms are clean with hot water, they have pd showers. We used the common area to wash dishes. The stall markers are a little confusing, but a great family place, we had our Aframe and it was very nice and clean

Great campground, nice big spots, beautiful lake.......lost stars because the sites are extremely, poorly marked. I can't imagine pulling in here at night and trying to find where you need to go. Really need to invest in some good, site, signage.

Great campground on a huge lake. The TransCanada Trail through the autumn woods is gorgeous but there are very steep climbs and signs of bears in the area.

If getting away from silence, solitude and trees are what you're needing, then Falcon Lake campground is all you need! Do you long for the sounds of highway traffic every hour of the day...and night? Do you seek people camping so close combined with no underbrush to separate you? Then look no further! Potable water, yes. Groceries if need, check. But beyond that, this was not our cup of tea. The bathrooms were gross, the lake is overcrowded with boat traffic, there's not much of a view, the beach wasn't bad, the hike (#5) was terribly disappointing (pretty much a road ending at a private drive with no access to High Lake), and to top it off there was litter everywhere! Our site (bay 3 site 34) was absolutely the worst camping site we've ever been to...and we had one of the better sites:( I just can't for the life of me understand how people can give this campsite a 5 star? Sure there's golf, mini golf, a beach, a store, ice cream, restaurant, beaches, hiking...but they certainly do not ad up to 5 star. There needs to be a different genre of camping reviews or something: Those who like city camping and those who actually want to be away from city life. This is city living...in a tent.

This is one of the best place to visit. We did visit as a stopover to BC from Ottawa and wouldn't regret and advised everyone to visit. Wonderful beaches, lots of places for kids to play. Nice and friendly staffs. However, the park is crowded during weekdays.

Some site are better than others, but always enjoy coming here.
