Great/Quiet place!

Large sites with ample space between each other. 103 is right across the bathroom, and backs up to an open space. Driveway is leveled side to side but has a very slight down slope towards the back. Flush toilets cleaned every morning and great friendly hosts.

Amazing campground. Loved the peacefulness on an October morning by the Fallen Leaf Lake :)

Our camper wasn't able to fit at the site that we reserved, so they were able to put us in a Host spot because the Host left early and the site was super nice. Thank you so much for a great experience!

Fallen Leaf is a beautifully situated campground within walking distance of Taylor Creek & Fallen Leaf Lake. Our favorite time there is end of season: Fewer campsites occupied, more wildlife, ultimate quiet.

A great spot! Secluded, laid back and quiet. And the lake is stunning. We were there at the very end of the season so the store was closed for the season, they had no more firewood and was chilly at night. Keep in mind this campground has NO hookups but it does have a RV dump and water fill stations. The showers are powered by tokens which you buy from a machine at the. A buck gets you three minutes and its plenty hot (and clean) so no issue there. DON'T use GPS to guide you into this place as it will take you down a very twisty and tight and bumpy backroad. Come in from the main highway (89) off Fallen Leaf Road.

Even though the weather was brisk / cold, the campground was as nice as ever. We camp here and attend the Oktoberfest activities close by each fall. The camp store was closed for the season and there was no firewood available onsite, which was unfortunate. Notice on the website would have been nice. Everything is maintained and clean i.e. campsites, bathrooms & showers. We'll definitely be back.

Always a dreamy delight.

@DavidC2858387 · Camped on Sep 30, 2025 at Campsite #55
Nice campground. I would recommend it. Bathrooms were kept really clean.
@RonB1001477 · Camped on Sep 28, 2025 at Campsite #55
Fallen Leaf is a very nice campground. We picked it because we needed showers at that stage of a multi-park tour. Fallen Leaf provided those far more than adequately. They were clean and there were several showed facilities scattered throughouWe only occupied our campsite for one night, but the pad was in good shape and level enough that no additional leveling of our trailer was necessary. The South Lake Tahoe area is more "touristified" than we normally choose, but if those tourist amenities are important to you, this would be an excellent location.
@KevinC5577695 · Camped on Sep 28, 2025 at Campsite #73
Great location. Clean, well run campground. I only with there was not an additional charge for using the dump station.
@SusanA7851316 · Camped on Sep 28, 2025 at Campsite #206
A beautiful campground with spacious sites within walking distance to Fallen Leaf Lake. Lake Tahoe and its surrounding beauty with restaurants and even casinos if desired are nearby.

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
