Fallen Leaf Campground

The camp sites were in great shape. The restrooms and showers were clean an easy to access. The rangers were friendly and very helpful from sign in to check out.

We loved how there was plenty of shade and plenty of space between sites. The host was very hospitable. They saw us looking at the showers and let us know one of the showers was not working and delivered shower tokens right to our door a short time later. The bathrooms were flush toilets and the bathrooms were very clean.

We came to mainly mtn bike and there are plenty of good trails in the area. The weather did not cooperate and was unusually cold and rainy, but we made the best of it and rode anyway knowing we had hot showers waiting g for us when we got back to camp.

I highly recommend this campground.

Ideally situated near Fallen Leaf lake, we had an enjoyable stay at the campground.
The site is ideal for RVs as there’s a 10$ dump station at its entrance.

The area is beautiful. The lake was great. We paddle boarded a lot. The water (at least in beginning of October) was quite chilly. The air temp was nice and warm. Bears. There are Bears. During the day we saw at least one Bear in the campground. At night we saw 2 Bears on separate nights. Maybe it was the same one, who knows. But they are there are they will eat your food or anything that smells good to them. Woke up in the middle of one night to screams of bloody murder women, kids, men, screaming and yelling BEARRRRRR!!!! But I don't think the Bears hurt anyone, they are just looking for food. We have a camp trailer so we felt secure. Tent folks may want to think twice, but again, the Bears seem more interested in food the people. Each site has a Bear proof food box. And the box is really large so you can secure a lot of food. The walk to the lake is a little bit even from the close end of the campground, but well worth it. We went to the beach across the street at the big Lake Tahoe Lake and the water was choppy and no way you would paddle board there. Fallen Leaf lake the same day was calm and smooth. No problem at all to paddle board or kayak. All in all it is well worth it and I would and will go again.
Verizon had one bar most of the time. Sometimes zero coverage. Mostly texts would work and calls would not.

Fallen Leaf is one of the best managed campgrounds we’ve seen. It’s a beautiful place, and the staff and hosts work hard to keep it clean and calm. Love it.

Great location and shade.
