$44 for the site for one night was too much. The restrooms were filthy and there was no soap or paper towels in any of them. Noro Virus is a real problem and by not having soap available you are asking for an outbreak and the spread of the virus.

Fallen Leaf lake is perfect for swimming. The campground does not allow slack lines, that was disappointing to have to take it down as that information is not posted anywhere around the campground or on the website. There seemed to be no enforcement of quiet time rules in the area we were staying.

Beautiful campground with large sites(not all but many!) walking distance to Fallen Leaf Lake and a short drive to Lake Tahoe. All of the workers are extremely friendly and helpful, especially Cody, one of the camp hosts; he's the best!

Very horrible experience & very poorly ran park. They let the bears run around wild & prefer the bears fed. Someone is going to get very hurt especially almost my children. When someone came and saved my children and my lit barbecue the bear was going for, they removed the man from the park. He was literally preventing a forest fire and saving little children. I do NOT recommend this park to anyone. Something needs to be done here.

Keep in mind that you're in bear country, so there's no need for constant horn honking or shouting—it can get tiresome quickly. Regular campers mentioned how they often shake their heads at the overreactions of some visitors. While bears did visit the area daily, they were simply in search of food. Just be responsible and store yours properly. Aside from that, the location was beautiful, and the camp hosts were incredibly friendly. Fallen Leaf Lake is absolutely magical!

The campsites were far enough apart to feel spacious but also, lots of bears. We loved the experience. Most of the camp hosts were super sweet, helpful and funny. Close enough to town to run and get supplies but also, far out in nature. Would definitely go back.
