There were several bears terrorizing the campground. People were honking car horns and air horns to try to scare the bears away. Judging by how the bears are so dgaf, the bears are probably deaf at this point.

Our Family has been going to Fallen Leaf Campground for decades and it has just gotten better and better. The facilities, grounds upkeep, and especially the host’s and hostesses are dedicated, helpful, hard working, and committed to making our experience a joy! This year, however, there was a problem with showers working. The reservation system is challenging for those of us who are technologically challenged. It was easier when we could talk with a person. All and All we are most grateful!
As a side note the road from the highway to the campground is the worst! And it would be most helpful to have cell phone coverage and wi Fi.

Overall campground is great; well-maintained bathrooms and showers. It's huge - be prepared for lots of people, dogs on leashes and all the sounds and smells accordingly. Was constantly smokey due to someone always burning fires. Not many sites are near the lake so will end up walking about 20 minutes each way depending on your location. Didn't see any bears but heard others who did while we were there.

Great campground. Well maintained bathrooms. Very spacious sites. During my stays there was a lot of people with the associated noise.
