Fall River is located 2 miles north of Highway 400 on Z50 Road, which is 7 miles east of Severy. The park is managed out of the Cross Timbes office, therefore only gatehouses, and maintenance staff are onsite.
Full disclosure. I didn't camp. I was simply scouting future sites and I like Quarry Bay Campground. If you're looking for primitive camping? This is the place to be. I feel like the whole lake area is a hidden gem. I was there on a Saturday and there were barely any boats on the lake. It's much bigger than Hillsdale Lake. The camping areas have a lot more shade also. The beach??? Could use some love since the water is down due to the drought. But there were swimmers. The Catclaw trail can be accessed at the Quarry Bay Campground. The camping areas are well maintained. Saturday and there were only a hand full of primitive sites in use. Each one has a fire pit some with grill rack covers. Each one has a picnic table. Several had overhead shade shelters. Each one is spacious with plenty of parking. Quarry Bay has access to swimming, a playground, bathrooms, and a shower house. The shower house could use some attention but is functional. The toilet stalls have flush toilets and doors. The shower stalls have walls but no doors or curtains. There is no roof just open sky. There is also a life vest share station at this campground area. It does look like they have been slowly making improvements in this campground. They playground looked fairly new and modern.
