By the road. No space for a tent without sleeping on rocks. We had a three person tent. Nowhere for a hammock. Site cannot accommodate more than a two person ten. This is a very tiny site.

Love this campground. I'm a female who was solo camping and always feel safe here. It is just a couple minutes walk to the lake across the campground. Just 10 minutes from South Lake Tahoe. I also loved renting a bike from Anderson's Bike rental just 5 minutes away and riding a beautiful trail to check out beaches on Lake Tahoe. I like the access to potable water, bathrooms are clean, campsite was in a small meadow so can get a lot of sun during the day, but cools down at night. I drove to the east side of Lake Tahoe and hiked in to Whale Beach this time. Great turquoise waters and big rocks for playing on. This is one of my go-to campgrounds.

we always love camping at fallen leaf every year but there was one maybe there were two different ones that were very rude to us. all of the female workers were wonderful but felt like the one or two older males maybe should find another job if there going to be so mean to the guests.
