Fallen Leaf Campground

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

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.

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

When I backed my camper into the site there were no signs saying that I had to remain on the pavement no kind of barricade in place to keep me from backing off of the pavement so having said that I backed my camp trailer off of the pavement onto the dirt so the door would clear the tree then backed up a little bit more so the door would clear a big boulder and then proceeded to setup my trailer. I was there 3.5 days with several camp host driving by waving and saying hi the other host noticed that my trailer was setting on the dirt and lost his mind he just started yelling at me that I had to move my trailer now back onto the pavement. He wasn't nice about the whole deal and when I tried talking to him he just kept saying get it moved now. I realize that I broke the rules by backing onto the dirt but at the time of backing up I was unaware of such rules . Long story short we left 1.5 days early because of him being so rude. Another camp host was very nice and explained everything to me but we decided to leave early and cut our vacation short .

Though close to the crowds of Lake Tahoe, Fallen Leaf was a relaxing, beautiful experience. Especially once we learned where to access the lake from the campground to use our kayaks. The campground host was visible and so friendly and helpful. Same thing with the staff at check in and the little store. Campers were very respectful and honored the quiet hours.

Our stay was excellent! The campground is well kept and beautiful. The camp hosts are very friendly.

Very orderly and well ran.
