Fallen Leaf Campground is a great place to camp. It is so quiet and the camp hosts did a great job keeping the bathrooms and showers clean and made sure the bears weren't too much of a problem. The camp store is fun too!
We will definitely return.

Location is excellent and the camp staff and hosts were most professional. Amenities however are severely lacking. Restroom facilities did not have hot water and the faucets were those push variety. Understand the desire to conserve water but the on, then off faucets make it difficult to brush teeth, shave or even wash face and hands. Also there were no mirrors in the restrooms. So this was a definite negative. Additionally , our campsite - 164 - was very strangely laid out: From the "bear" locker near the entrance to the site it was about 20 or 30 feet to the grill, then another 20 or 30 feet to the fire pit, and finally another 20 or 30 feet to the picnic table, A very dispersed campsite to say the least. All in all, if it wasn't for the location, this campground would barely rate one star.
