The stay was wonderful as always. Campground was very clean and actually pretty quiet also in the evenings and mornings. There was one host that seemed to have quite a chip on his shoulder and who was not very nice. As I was walking back into the campground from a hike with my dog on our first day and as I was getting ready to put his leash back on, the dog saw my kid across the road (in our campsite 100 feet away) and beelined it over there. This host lost his mind and was screaming at me to put my dog on a leash. I'm sorry....but the situation really didn't warrant that strong of a reaction. He eyeballed me every time I saw him after that too. Other than the one guy, everyone else was fantastic! Bring your own firewood if campfires are allowed when you're there. It was $15 to buy a normal small bundle there. Fallen Leaf Campground is such a wonderful spot. Highly recommend.

we stayed at multiple places. Most of them flat, not all. Spacious places with good sun and privacy (a mix hard to come by). Service & hosts OK. We met more kind and flexible people.

Bathrooms were not cleaned over multiple days. Many of the bathrooms had showers that were out of service and broken or unusable toilets. It didn't look like any repairs were being done on any of the bathrooms our entire stay. We've been coming to Fallen Leaf for the past 12 years and this has to be the worst time we've had. Very disappointed with the cleaning and maintenance staff. Some dumpsters were locked and unable to use forcing you to walk further with your trash and finding those dumpsters were full. People were piling up their trash next to the dumpster. It seems that the campground has slowly deteriorated over the past couple of years

We camp here every year in June and love it. Lots of room between the sites. Generally well maintained. Hosts & staff very friendly & helpful. Beautiful forests & lake. Lots of places for hiking, biking, lake, creek & Lake Tahoe adventures.
