Lovely staff. Nice campsite, surrounded by nature & wildlife, with decent space between sites, easy access to a lovely lake, decent amenities & no light pollution = good stargazing 🙌 We were winging it (heat was in the mid 90’s where we planned to go camping so changed last min to cooler temps of low 70’s in Lake Tahoe) and rolled up here and booked a 4 day stay (you gotta book on the app, even in the campsite) which was great as most other main lake campsites were booked. The ladies at the check in were super helpful & got us through getting it booked (there is WiFi by the check in) and getting us hooked up 🙏 I launched a fishing kayak on the lake a few times … once from the marina at the other end of the lake … and it’s spectacular 🙌 Water is crystal clear and clean, surrounded by wooded hills, some beaches and generally stunning beauty & wildlife❣️

Been there only as a "day use", but still like it. Pretty cold lake, but with clean water. When it's not windy it would be cool to take a paddle board. Many people with dogs, even on Monday noon

What an amazing campground! The sites are really great with some obvious ideal spots that are worth learning through experience. The facilities on the whole are well maintained and the bathrooms and showers are cleaned regularly. The water is drinkable and very good municipal water. There is a nice creek and the Fallen Lake is gorgeous and great for daytime activities. There are timid but very opportunistic bears who capitalize on lazy and naive people (as someone with experience). There aren't a lot of bugs and minimal mosquitoes. It's recommended to have a screened space to eat in to avoid Yellow Jackets. If you need to go to town and eat at a restaurant or buy supplies, you can because of the proximity to full South Tahoe civilization. Honestly, I can't imagine a better camping situation.

Fallen Leaf Campground is a fantastic spot in South Lake Tahoe location. Each campsite is spacious and comes with a food locker, fire pit, and road access. The campground also has exclusive access to Fallen Leaf Lake a beautiful, peaceful beach with very few people around. It’s a bit pricey at $55 per night compared to average campgrounds, but the space, amenities, and lake access make it well worth it.

This campsite was amazing! It’s just a quick 5-minute drive to Baldwin Beach, where we spent most of our days. Within the campground, it’s only a short walk to Fallen Leaf Lake, which is beautiful—perfect for a peaceful morning stroll. The only downside was our specific site, Lot #109. It was very close to the neighboring site, and we could clearly hear their conversations. If you’re looking for more privacy, I’d recommend choosing a different lot. While most sites are relatively close together, some definitely offer more space than others. Overall, I’d absolutely come back. Now that I’ve explored the area, I have a better idea of which lots are best for camping.
