Amazing campground, as always. I would suggest that some sconces (light covers) be installed at the shower buildings because the light pollution into surrounding campsites is pretty annoying. There’s no need for such indirect & bright lights throughout the night. Other than that, great facilities, amenities and sites. Bears, as always.

The campground, camp staff, and lake are all so beautiful and fantastic. Unfortunately, at the risk of sounding like I'm 80 years old, Fallen Leaf Lake is not where you want to go if you want to camp peacefully with people who understand camping etiquette. From loud generators, to parties at midnight, to people walking through our campsite, it's apparent that the Fallen Leaf Camping scene is not my scene any longer. The lake was wildly crowded with people crowding the shore making it hard to launch my paddle board without running the risk of knocking over someone's unsupervised child. If a raucous, family camp is your scene, you will truly love this place. The hosts are lovely, the camp store has a good level of supplies, the showers are a godsend after a long day on the lake. As for me, I'll be seeking quieter pastures for my next adventure.

Surprisingly lovely camping experience! Staff were so helpful and friendly and campers are respectful by maintaining quiet hours and not destroying the bathrooms or showers! Will definitely be coming back to fallen leaf!

Great location, the site close to the Fallen Leaf Lake, walking distance to the beach. Bathrooms with showers, do not look very new but are reasonably clean. Our site was spacious, the neighbors at reasonable distance, people are quiet, but bears are visiting regularly, need to keep food hidden at all times.
