Large sites with ample space between each other. 103 is right across the bathroom, and backs up to an open space. Driveway is leveled side to side but has a very slight down slope towards the back. Flush toilets cleaned every morning and great friendly hosts.

Fallen Leaf is a beautifully situated campground within walking distance of Taylor Creek & Fallen Leaf Lake. Our favorite time there is end of season: Fewer campsites occupied, more wildlife, ultimate quiet.

A great spot! Secluded, laid back and quiet. And the lake is stunning. We were there at the very end of the season so the store was closed for the season, they had no more firewood and was chilly at night. Keep in mind this campground has NO hookups but it does have a RV dump and water fill stations. The showers are powered by tokens which you buy from a machine at the. A buck gets you three minutes and its plenty hot (and clean) so no issue there. DON'T use GPS to guide you into this place as it will take you down a very twisty and tight and bumpy backroad. Come in from the main highway (89) off Fallen Leaf Road.

Even though the weather was brisk / cold, the campground was as nice as ever. We camp here and attend the Oktoberfest activities close by each fall. The camp store was closed for the season and there was no firewood available onsite, which was unfortunate. Notice on the website would have been nice. Everything is maintained and clean i.e. campsites, bathrooms & showers. We'll definitely be back.
