Grand Falls Camp was started in the early 1930's by Harry Forder. At that time, Harry had a house where Tunnel Lake now lies, and two cabins on the property where Grand Falls is now situated. At that time it was called Forder's Camp.

Jack Becker won a great deal of money in a poker game while he was in the army, during World War II. Had he made $400 more, he could have bought the property all the way to Rock Candy Mountain, but instead he just bought Grand Falls Camp.

In 1948, Jack and Ruth Becker bought the camp from Mr. Forder, moved to the camp with their daughter, and changed the camp's name to Grand Falls Camp. They tore down the two cabins that Harry had built there, and bought a few buildings from the J.J.McFadden lumber company across the road, dragging them across the ice with a team of horses. The rest of the cabins Jack built, with lumber from the J.J.McFadden lumber company. There was only one cabin, besides the ones from the lumber company, that Jack did not build himself - he made it from a cabin-building kit. The kit was supposed to come with instructions, but when the delivery man arrived it was pouring rain, so the delivery man dumped all the wood and left. Jack did manage to figure out the pattern and built the cabin all by himself.

The first time that Ruth Becker came to the camp with Jack, their car got stuck on the road and they had to walk the last mile to the camp, which did not impress Ruth. Because Ruth came from Florida, when she arrived at Grand Falls Camp she did not know how to make hot tea, so she had to get the local ladies to teach her. It also took Ruth awhile to get used to the cold Northern Ontario nights, but eventually she came to love the area.

Jack and Ruth's daughter Lynn was 4 years old when they moved to the camp, and she remembers her life there fondly. She would have fun with the children staying at the camp, as well as having friends from school who lived fairly close by. Even now, Lynn is still friends with one of the girls she met at her camp.

Lynn went to elementary school in Kynoch, and highschool in Thessalon. Because they did not have schoolbuses then, parents would take turns driving the bus (a station-wagon with a sign on it) so that their children could go all the way into Thessalon for school.

Lynn remembers that because it was so far to go to town, and the roads were so rough, people would often get the mailman to do errands for them. The mailman came up the road a few times a week, and people would leave notes and money in their mailboxes. The mailman would buy groceries and other necessary items, and would deliver the orders the next time he went on his rounds.

In 1969 Terry and Pat Caroll, from Michigan, bought Grand Falls Camp. Terry was a second generation fruit farmer who was working four jobs just to make ends meet. Through Terry's father Fred, who had a cabin on Chub Lake, Terry met Jack McDonald who had started Limberlost Lodge. Jack advised Terry to buy Grand Falls Camp. Terry took the advice, and moved to the camp with his wife and four children.

When Terry decided to get into bear hunting at the camp, he went to a local bear hunting expert, Claire LePage, who had been a guide for Terry at the camp. Claire taught Terry about hunting, and Terry became the first tourist operator who bear-hunted seriously at his camp. Terry was called Kill-A-Bear-Terr because he once killed a bear with an axe, having forgotten his gun at home. Claire's nickname was Claire the Bear, simply because he was such a good bear hunter.

Mike Caroll inherited the camp from his father and lives there now with his wife Paulette and their two children.
