We were in site 031. The site was a little small but perfect as we only had one tent. Beautiful location, Bears were active but didn’t come near our site. I’ve been camping here for over 30 years and it never disappoints. We took advantage of a single day availability for a short overnight trip. Thank you for letting us check in an hour early!

Great location. Lots of hiking around beautiful Fallen Leaf Lake. The campground facilities were kept clean and there was a lot of support from the park rangers and hosts available. A 20-minute walk to Lake Tahoe via trail was great for variety and spectacular view sof Lake Tahoe.

nice campsite, big open grassy area adjacent to the site, yet close to restrooms. Fairly private, huge trees in CG!

Fallen leaf is one of my favorite places to camp. They do seem to be a lot of their issues every morning and every night, but the staff is always very friendly.

We planned our week at Fallen Leaf to occur before school let out so that the campground would be quieter and less busy.
The lake was cold and clear and perfect for kayaking. Drop your gear off at the bottom of the trail then park in the day use lot. That saves you from having to carry your gear all the way.
The showers were a nice feature. Buy tokens from the gate. They’ll buy back the ones that you don’t use.
Definitely coming back again next May!

The road leading to the campground is very treacherous filled with many holes. We disconnected our tow vehicle prior to traveling down that road. Once arriving at the entrance they wanted to charge me an additional $9.00 a day parking fee because the tow vehicle was not attached to my RV. I explained that to the gate person what I had done and entered the campground. Shortly after that a campground maintenance-man arrived and began to call me a lair and demanded I return to the gate and pay an additional $126.00 for a parking pass. I spoke with the campground supervisor and paid for a day parking pass. For the entire time 14 days someone showed up at our campsite and also waved us down while driving through the campground and demanded to see our current parking pass. They were beyond unfriendly towards us and being called a lair in front of my grandson is not what I would call a good experience. I have been going there for 50 year now and this was the first time that I have had a bad experience.
