About Fallen Leaf Campground

Fallen Leaf Campground is situated on the north shore of Fallen Leaf Lake and adjacent to Taylor Creek. The south shore of Lake Tahoe is less than a mile away. The campground features 206 sites that include six yurts and standard tent and RV sites. The campground is typically open from mid-May through mid-October. Fallen Leaf Lake is less crowded and not as well-known as Lake Tahoe, making this a great base camp for exploring the many sights and recreational activities in the area. It's a popular campground and tends to fill quickly.

Number of accommodations: 193

Fantastic campground. The sites are spacious and you feel like you are all alone at times. The only downside was the water faucets were all under siege by yellow jackets.

Love to bike on the path and kayak at Baldwin Beach. We like the Goodwill in South Lake Tahoe for all kinds of treasures.

Camp ground was great, lake was perfect, neighbors were nice. Tallac as always was stunning. Our complaint was with the management. Within 2 hours of arriving and setting up camp we were treated very poorly by an extremely rude camp host manager. My wife prepared lunch for our daughter, then walked our son across the street to his grandparent's site, she came right back to the site to find a camp host (Tracy) in our site. Our daughter was in the site. Tracy proceeded to inform my wife of the bear box policy while sprinkling it with lies like "bears can't smell food in a bear box" and you "received a pamphlet upon arrival" (we didn't). He then threatened to expel us from the campground if he caught us with an open bear box. Our daughter (13) was in the site the whole time. Tracy refused to acknowledge her existence. He wrote us a ticket then wouldn't leave our site, even when asked. We have been camping at Fallen Leaf every year for a long time and have never had a bear get into our food. We are vigilant about the bear box and keeping coolers out of sight in the RV. We should have closed the bear box. Tracy could have told us that in a friendly manner, and we would have been happy to comply. He didn't. He was rude, condescending, and robotic.

It was a really rough start to a week of camping and it left us all a little dumbfounded as to why Tracy was so rude. As the week wore on we were able to settle down, relax, and enjoy the area. I can't wait to return, hopefully we don't have another run in with Tracy

It was beautiful, spacious and affordable. The only thing is that the showers need to be paid and it only lasted 3 minutes.

Our yurt was clean. Restrooms were clean.
My only suggestion would be to have mirrors and a little bit of a counter in the restroom for when brushing teeth and washing face.
