This is a well maintained campground, friendly staff, very spacious and shady campsites and clean showers and bathrooms. This is my fifth time coming to this campground. I enjoyed each and every stay and would absolutely come back again.

Camping at Fallen Leaf Campground in August is always a delightful experience. We were fortunate enough to have spot 17, which offered a spacious area and a long circular driveway. While the spot was not perfectly level, we were able to make it work for our needs. The location was peaceful, although it was a bit of a distance from the lake. We did observe several bears in the vicinity, but thankfully, they maintained a safe distance. The weather was pleasant, with temperatures in the mid-80s. Unfortunately, cell phone coverage was limited, so we had to go to the lake or the store area to check our messages.

We’ve been visiting Fallen Leaf for a few years and it never disappoints. The facility is managed well by the camp hosts and maintenance crew. Although we don’t use the restrooms, the few times I’ve entered them they are somewhat tidy despite the number of tent campers using them on a busy weekend. We enjoyed the lake on a busy holiday weekend and had a blast.

We stayed in site 036, good site other than the the pad not being in good shape, with deep ruts in the front, had to use pads to fill low spots on top of using the jacks. The site info says the pad is 12' wide, but this is not the case, barely 10' at the widest spot. Site was clean with plenty of shade, small meadow to one side to put my solar panel in so I wouldn't need to run the genset. I can't say enough about the park staff, very friendly and helpful, as well as being accessible, and keeping the bathrooms and showers clean (we didn't need them). We have been to this park several times and the staff this year is exceptional.
