Spacious sites, good host presence. Clean shower facilities; be sure to have cash $1-$20 bills accepted—to buy shower tokens.

Positives: The sites are huge, you are not right on top of your neighbor which is great. There are real bathrooms and the entire campground including bathrooms are kept well cleaned
Negative: There is no easy access to the lake. All paths are a short/long walk with no place to park near the lake. If you want to bring a paddleboard, cooler or anything else be prepare to lug it 1/4 of a mile or longer, depending on where your campsite is near the lake

Wonderful large campsites. Trail to the lake available. There is also a cleaning station for kayaks and other water sport items to help with the invasive species. It was a bit windy and chilly in the morning, but this is still my favorite campground. Bathrooms have showers that take tokens that you buy from the kiosk, but they buy back unused ones, which is nice. Bathrooms always seemed to be well stocked and clean. FYI there is no soap in the bathrooms and no shelves in the shower to put your items.

Our camp host was cranky and I expect burnt out as it was the end of the season. I love Fallen Leaf Lake camping, but the hosts have a reputation for being cranky and I experienced it for myself. We are not rule breakers, but they assumed we were as we are locals from Gardnerville with Nevada license plates.
