The campground was quite big, pretty popular. Many families gathered around their campfires in the evenings, creating a warm atmosphere. The nights were a bit chilly, but the mornings were bright and sunny. The facilities were well-maintained. The restrooms were clean and easily accessible, and there was a convenient coin-operated shower facility. For just one dollar, campers could enjoy a three-minute hot shower. According to Ranger Martin, there had never been any reports of animal attacks on humans. However, several campers reported seeing bears, as tall as an adult person when they stand up. Coyote howls were also common, especially at night. Particularly in this year, the number of coyote ramp up a lot. Campers were advised to keep a close eye on their pets and avoid any confrontations with the coyotes.

We stayed in yurt 191. The yurt is spacious and includes a chair, futon, side table and a bunk bed with a twin and full size beds. It has electricity with one lamp and a space heater. The yurt is next to a beautiful meadow and directly adjacent to the bathrooms with showers and a nearby spigot. It is a short walk to the path that leads to Fallen Leaf lake.

Lovely campground with easy access to Fallen leaf lake. Our host Martin was really friendly too and always more than happy to chat. Plenty of space at the campsite and the toilets are kept clean. We were also lucky to see a bear just outside of our campsite! Will definitely come back if we're in Lake Tahoe again.

Absolutely the BEST campground in South Lake Tahoe.. the forest is lush and campsites are spread out enough to have your own personal space but still close enough to get to know your neighbors! Beautifully hidden off the main roads.. great bathrooms/showers and potable water access overall amazing!! Fallen Leaf Lake is also a DREAM!! Also, the most wonderful staff at the entrance :-)

A wonderful campsite with forested surroundings added to the charm of the place. We stayed at campsite 70, just a short walk to the beautiful and peaceful fallen leaf lake. Our campsite was large, easily accommodating three or four tents at least, although we were RV camping. Restrooms were conveniently located right across from us and were very clean. We only stayed one night but encountered a big adult bear. Fortunately, the camp hosts from 71 were very helpful in driving it away and shared some bear stories with us. This is a bear habitat, around 25-30 bears in the area, so it’s crucial to keep food in locked lockers and ensure your car is locked, as bears are clever and can approach silently FOR FOOD. We are very grateful for the host’s assistance. It was definitely an unforgettable experience.

Lucked out and picked a good site. It's a big place but sites are spaced out perfectly. Site 137 was perfect for our truck and trailer. Good shade. Close too bathrooms.

This campground was spectacular. The scenery, the forest, the nearby lake, were very beautiful, and was exactly what we were looking for. The restroom was right by us, and was very clean. Each campsite was far enough, that the noise was other parties was minimal. The anti-bear 🐻 storage unit was right next to the campsite, also convenient. The customer service was also very nice and accommodating for our huge party! (After searching through many of the Tahoe campgrounds, this is one of the few that allows up to two vehicles per campsite, making it perfect for our large group.) I would recommend this campground to anyone!

It's Heaven on Earth! Campsites are spacious and beautiful and clean. None of that -- too close to your neighbors -- situation going on here! Fallen Leaf Lake is so beautiful and fun and is a dream come true.

Loved it! Very wild and secluded. Nice restrooms and showers (4×25ç/3min). But really follow every direction regarding bears! The first night we slept there one bear openned (human style) two of our car doors looking for food (there were just some bread crumbs under my son's seat and a lip balm but seemed enough!).

Cute campsite! We stayed at #38, which ended up being pretty isolated from the rest of the campsites, which all seemed pretty squished together. Site itself was beautiful and extremely well-maintained. Bathrooms were in excellent condition - super clean, with 3-minute showers for $1 (quarters only). Would love to return again!
