Campsite was in good shape, neighbors quiet, Fallen Leaf has been my fave for years now. I learned to be more careful about bears after one got trapped in the car of a camper across from me and ripped the interior apart trying to get out. Yikes. Folks, take them seriously, keep food out of the car, and by all means lock it.

Really well kept facilities. All the campsites are well kept and shady. The ranger staff was friendly. No bears in sight but they are around for sure.

Lovely site with partial shade and sun. We needed leveling on one side for our Sprinter van. Instead of backing in, we headed in so that our screen door would be on the side of the picnic table and campfire ring. Only saw ONE bear! Easy walk to a clean restroom. Rode our bikes to the clean shower house. Also rode our bikes to Fallen Leaf Lake where we got phone reception!!
