    Overview

    Fallen Leaf Campground is situated on the north shore of Fallen Leaf Lake and adjacent to Taylor Creek. The south shore of Lake Tahoe is less than a mile away. The campground features 206 sites that include six yurts and standard tent and RV sites. The campground is typically open from mid-May through mid-October. Fallen Leaf Lake is less crowded and not as well-known as Lake Tahoe, making this a great base camp for exploring the many sights and recreational activities in the area. It's a popular campground and tends to fill quickly.

    Recreation

    Both Fallen Leaf Lake and Lake Tahoe offer opportunities for non-motorized and motorized boating, tubing, waterskiing and windsurfing. Fishing is available at both lakes, but anglers generally have better luck at Lake Tahoe. Guests can swim in Fallen Leaf Lake, even though there are no designated swimming areas. The south shore of Lake Tahoe offers the Pope and Baldwin swim beaches. Hikers can access the 1-mile Moraine Trail from the campground. The Taylor Creek Visitor Center is directly across Highway 89 and has interpretive programs, guided walks on the Rainbow Trail and to the Stream Profile Chamber. The Glen Alpine and Mt. Tallac trailheads are nearby for excellent day hiking and backpacking in the Desolation Wilderness. The Pope-Baldwin bike path parallels Highway 89.

    Natural Features

    The campsites do not offer views of either the lake or Taylor Creek, but they are nestled among towering native pine, cedar, fir and aspen. Some are adjacent to wildflower meadows. Guests only need to walk a short distance to Fallen Leaf Lake, where the forested shoreline and surrounding mountains are reflected in its crystal-clear waters. Prominent peaks include Cathedral Peak (8,200 feet) and Mount Tallac (9,735 feet). The surrounding woods provide habitat for squirrels, racoons, chipmunks and a variety of birds. The campground has some resident black bears that are often seen by guests; please be safe around bears.

    A century ago, what is now the Tallac Historic Site held the ''Grandest Resort in the World'' and the summer retreats for three of San Francisco Bay Area's socially elite families. Today, the remains of the resort and the restored estates attract thousands of visitors annually to recapture this bygone and significant era in Tahoe's history.

    Overview

    Nevada Beach Campground sits in the Lake Tahoe Basin of Nevada. Minutes from the bright blue water of Tahoe's eastern shores, campsites are nestled in a sparse forest of pine trees and evergreen shrubs. The lake and its sandy beaches provides ample recreation opportunities and restaurants and casinos are just moments away.

    Recreation

    Just minutes away from the campground, 22-mile-long Lake Tahoe provides sunbathing, swimming, boating and water skiing. Anglers can look forward to healthy fish populations of kokanee salmon and mackinaw, rainbow and brown trout. Nearby, the 2.6-mile Lam Wa Tah Trail traverses the perimeter of the lake, providing scenic views and opportunities for exploration.

    Natural Features

    The campground is located on the California-Nevada state line, adjacent to the popular and beautiful Lake Tahoe, at an elevation of 6,100 feet. Tall pines have left a bed of dry needles on the ground and the lake is visible from most sites within the campground. The nearby Nevada Beach is less than a mile long and is wider than any other beach on the lake.

    Overview

    The Harvey West Cabin is located on the Silver Fork of the American River. The cabin is easily access from Silver Fork Road. The cabin has beds for 12 and can accommodate an additional eight on the floor or on the large front deck. Harvey West Cabin provides a cozy mountain cabin getaway experience while also providing a few modern conveniences. The Harvey West Cabin was constructed in the early 1930s by the Sacramento Box and Lumber Company. The building was used as an office and recreational facility until it was purchased in 1936 by Harvey West. West, a prominent local businessman and philanthropist, used the cabin as a summer retreat for his famiy until the early 1970s.

    Fishing for brown and rainbow trout is a popular activity on the river. Other pleasant pastimes include bird watching, hiking and wading in the river. The walking distance China Flat Day Use Area offers picnic tables and a beach on the riverbank.

    Natural Features

    The cabin sits among Ponderosa pine and cedar trees along the Silver Fork of the South Fork American River, at an elevation of 4,720 feet. The region's climate is similar to that of the Mediterranean with warm, dry summers and cold, wet winters.

      Tahoe Valley Campground

      A little pricey

      We were only after a night, so didn’t need much. Travelling this time of year when campgrounds are closed makes for desperate last minute decisions. BUT if you’re staying here, go across the road to Lake Tahoe Pizza Co. the best pizza!

      Nevada Beach Campground and Day Use Pavilion

      Peaceful lake

      Large sites very peaceful. Most sites close to the lake. We visited the last week of August. Expect to see bears. Hosts were clear about the need to keep campsites clear of food. Since you could not dump dish water on ground because of the bears it was more effort to wash up after meals. It would be nice if there was a dish washing station . We have seen this at other campsites we have been to. The have AT&A cell service had good service

      Great weekend!

      49er was great! We stayed here for the last weekend of the summer before the kids went back to school. We were advised on our arrival that the site I picked was in full sun, and we were moved to“Shady Lane”, site 18. We checked out the pond, playground, volleyball and shuffleboard areas, but spent most of the time in the pool, it was a hot weekend. The flies were pretty bad, but apparently this is not normal and it was just after the county fair ended(fairgrounds is right next door). Full hookups, nice little store with ice cream and coffee, we will have to come back when the weather(and flies) is a little better. I added a handful of 360 photos to show the place off, and I’m working on a street view of the campground. Will be back!

      Great place

      We had a great experience at the Placerville KOA. In this place, I can join many activities such as playing geometry dash lite .The staff was very welcoming and the grounds are organized and clean. The only thing I would suggest is to put in a few more bathrooms around the site. The main building are the only bathrooms. I would suggest a visit. They also have a pool area and hot tub Our friends stayed in the cabins. They were clean and comfortable

      Great camping for families!!

      Amador is a laid back camping spot that never disappoints. Great for families. Not a party destination but you can still have a great time! They have a water hole with a fun slide, which is all kept nice and clean with tables you can sit at. I would recommend a pop up tent for shade if you go to the water hole. There is also a old school playground for the kids. The staff is super friendly and always there to help. I take my kids at least 3-4 times a year and enjoy any of the seasons. There is Frisbee golf as well.

      Bear River Lake Resort

      One of the worst RV resorts we've ever visited.

      What a shame.   This place has so much potential to be a nice place, but lacks investment and passion of the owner to make it so.    My bet is that it was recently sold to new owners and they're way over their heads.   

      Pros:   

      -Some of the employees are friendly and helpful

      -The location is pretty, and the creek side spots are nice.

      Cons:  

      -The female owner or manager is not helpful and is generally flippant and rude.  

      -As noted above, getting in/out of spots is difficult and if you don't have high clearance on RV and tow vehicle, you will hit rocks and ruts and may break something.  We got lucky and didn't break our sewer plumbing.

      - Most spots aren't close to level, make sure to bring more leveling blocks than you're used to.

      - Power and water on wrong side of RV in many spots.   Make sure to bring extension power and hose.  Power is only 15 amp so make sure to bring adapter.

      - Resort caters to powersports, so be prepared for constant side-by-sides and quads going around the camp making noise and stirring up dust.  If that's your thing, you're in luck.  

      - The dock is a piece of garbage and a hazard to walk on

      - The wifi is spotty at best

      - The "store" only has dry goods and not much of it.  There is nothing refrigerated and no beer.   If you need anything, the closest store is over 20 minutes away on winding roads, so bring everything you need or you'll be wanting.

      - Trash receptacles were completely overflowing

      Quite and Clean

      This was our first time at a KOA and we throughly enjoyed ourselves. We stayed for one night. (Tent Camping) The staff was friendly and helpful and all of the sites and communal areas were clean. The tent sites were a tad smaller than what we imagined, but was able to situate our 10x10 canopy and connecting tent between the hook ups and picnic table. The views are beautiful and it is mostly quiet but you can hear the road at times.

      Beautiful in the Spring

      We enjoyed our first visit and will definitely come back! The park is a mix of old RV’s that folks have long term stays and open spots for visitors. Some nice spots and some tight spots. We stayed in site 62 with 41 foot MH. There was no room for a tow vehicle and we did not put our awnings out. We enjoyed fishing from the bank and had some good luck with power bait. The resort is very clean and quiet!

      Great place!

      We spent the weekend for my wife’s birthday. It rained most of Friday and into Saturday but we had a great time. Steve at check in was very helpful, the little store is cool, and the campground is walking distance from the historic town of Coloma and the Argonaut for breakfast and lunch (and Gelato!) Pool, playground, basketball and soccer - will definitely be back with the kids soon.

      Everything closed - Full price

      A pool was greatly advertised, but “out of season”. The General Market was randomly closed for 4 days, for inventory. Our spot had no fireplace. 250 bucks to park our RV for 2 nights wasnt a great deal.

      Walk to the lake, spacious sites, friendly hosts

      Spent a great couple of night here in June. Some of the sites back onto cabins and we were worried they would be noisy at night, but we didn't hear a thing. 

      The hosts and rangers were really friendly and helpful. The sites were large considering the prime Tahoe location - we had plenty of space for our 9x8ft tent. 

      You can walk to a small beach from here, or go to Sunnyside bar + restaurant for lakeside food and drinks. Also walkable to Tahoe city, but I think cycling would be nicer. 

      Recommended!

      Nice campground

      Stayed two nights. Had a large campsite with plenty of room and fairly secluded. Close to the restrooms, never did find showers. Enjoyed the proximity to the lake and had a great hike around it. Would return and stay a day or two longer.

      Convenient location with amenities

      Our second time here so that’s a good sign. My biggest issue with this campground is the dirt. It’s this ash dirt that gets everywhere. The sites are small but have full hookups. The store is lovely but not open often. There is a staff shortage so a couple days a week nothing is open while the staff they have do Campground maintenance. I totally get it. But you pay $130!! But it’s Tahoe I guess. Just rough…. I need to be brave and try a new place next time.

      Harassment

      We arrived late to the KOA and attempted to follow the late night registration. Nowhere does it say that late night registration will result in them threatening to call the cops on us. There wasn’t any envelopes. I’ve had that happen many times to me at state and national parks. Never had I had it result in harassment and threats. I’ve always had park rangers catch you on the way out or leave an envelope under the windshield wiper. However this is a KOA and a private campground and are allowed to treat customers horribly, which they did. They started banging on our camper at 3 AM woke up my baby. Threatened to cal the cops for trespassing. When I offered to pay for the site they threatened to charge more and more money if I wasn’t able to pay cash. I was never given a receipt. I was treated like a criminal. When I called them during their office hours that states that it was common courtesy not to arrive after 9. This RV park is along highway 395 so it seems bizarre not to accommodate travelers. They also woke up the campers next to us at 3 am for a similar infraction but state that aside from me this has “never happened”. Save yourself the harassment and threats and a good night sleep and just drive past Coleville KOA.

      Great Stay

      I stayed here for a spontaneous mid-week campout and was impressed. Super clean restroom facilities, access to the river, a nice store, and friendly customer service. The spots were a little close together, the parking and restrooms a little bit far from the spot but overall it's a pretty decent spot.

      Disappointrd

      II only have a camper van but was forced to take an RV site which had amenities I didn’t need. I asked if I would have 120 V access and told I would but there was only 30 amp 240 v. Totally useless for me. Also when I made the reservation I was told check in time was 3 PM and found out later it was 4 PM. There was very little information about what I was getting online, so I depended upon the reservation line to give me exact information. When I called once I got there, the guy was totally rude about it and not helpful at all.

      Be Careful With Your Reservation!

      Read the fine print! If you are expecting a full-hookup site, make sure it has septic at your site! Many of the sites are water and electric only, and you have to use the one dump station at the camp entrance for dumping. Kinda inconvenient and not what I would expect for $106 a night! This place gets VERY full on a holiday weekend, noisy, congested. It's the only game in town for a ways, so there you have it.

      Great family spot

      I’ve taken my trailer here twice now and love this place. It has nice big pull through spots, park with pool and mini golf. Lots of stuff to keep kids busy. It’s an older sport but feels like camping and not glamping. Staff is very friendly.
