Nice large campsites, quiet, especially during the week. Host Martin was great! Personable, helpful and just a very nice guy.

Location is excellent and the camp staff and hosts were most professional. Amenities however are severely lacking. Restroom facilities did not have hot water and the faucets were those push variety. Understand the desire to conserve water but the on, then off faucets make it difficult to brush teeth, shave or even wash face and hands. Also there were no mirrors in the restrooms. So this was a definite negative. Additionally , our campsite - 164 - was very strangely laid out: From the "bear" locker near the entrance to the site it was about 20 or 30 feet to the grill, then another 20 or 30 feet to the fire pit, and finally another 20 or 30 feet to the picnic table, A very dispersed campsite to say the least. All in all, if it wasn't for the location, this campground would barely rate one star.

Fallen Leaf Campground is a great place to camp. It is so quiet and the camp hosts did a great job keeping the bathrooms and showers clean and made sure the bears weren't too much of a problem. The camp store is fun too!
We will definitely return.

From the minute we drove up the staff was friendly and very informative. The campgrounds are clean and the campground is close to many activities

Site 135 was large and spacious. On one side was the camp host and on the other were a bunch of bushes before the next campsite so it felt very private. There was lots of space for us to move around and plenty of options to place a tent. The site is a 10 min walk from Fallen Leaf Lake and a short drive to Glen Alpine Falls and Lily Lake. It is a beautiful site!
