Excellent staff at check in.
Accommodated request for moving to another location since there was a huge party with kids, disrupting the quiet and peace.
Rangers were called, but next day the commotion continued.
The location is fabulous. Site are well placed, but there needs to be better rules and communication of yelling and screaming during non-quiet hours too.

Very nice campground with spacious sites for the most part. Guaranteed to see bears but staff was actively nudging them out of the campground frequently. Highlight of the trip was a camp host named Martin! Genuinely nice guy, sincerely helpful and truly an ambassador for Fallen Leaf campground! We will be back and hope to camp in Martin’s section again!

Site 183 requires walking farther to the picnic table and fire pit from the driveway compared to the sites nearby. And it is quite large allowing for more space between you and your neighbors. There’s a plenty of space to choose from to place your tent too.

This was our group’s annual week at Fallen Leaf and we never failed to come away feeling happy and refreshed. We did a little touring this trip and walked through the old Tallac estates which are just across the highway from the campground’s entrance then walked along the boardwalk at the visitors center. Lots of bear sightings this year… more than usual so please remember to use the bear boxes in camp. We’ll be back next year!
