Great location - close to walking/biking trails, took bike and went through zephyr cove and back - was relatively easy and safe except last few kilometers. Next day went through rubicon trail to lighthouse and back - also close with really great views. Camp has token-operated showers which is really nice after whole day on a bike or walking.

Had never been here and didn’t know what to expect. But absolutely loved it. Huge campground. Huge sites. And Fallen Leaf Lake is gorgeous. Crystal clear flat water. Pebbley beach and shore are the best. Definitely recommend this place.

Fallen Leaf Campground is a beautiful place to camp. The campground is very well maintained and the campsites are spacious. I visited midweek in the off season, so it wasn't as crowded as on weekends or during the regular season.

Fantastic campground! Peaceful and beautiful. Crazy huge pinecones dropping like bombs made it an unforgettable trip:)

Awesome camp ground and support staff. Recreation.gov Notso much. Continual inaccurate information about availability. Very frustrating for consumers and the staff. Least favorite camping website of the last 6 years. Fix it. Dotgov should at least function.

Great location and campground close to South Lake Tahoe. Bike trails to the Lake Tahoe bike paths that run along Sout Lake Tahoe. Well maintained campground that I would highly recommend!

We always have a wonderful stay at Fallen Leaf Campground. The staff was very helpful on the morning we were headed home and didn't have battery power to bring in our pop-out on our trailer. They staff and one of the hosts suggested ideas, looked through schematics of the trailer, and helped us arrive at a solution. We were very thankful!
