"The campground itself is beautiful, walking distance to Fallen Leaf Lake and short drive to South Lake Tahoe. My husband, my pup and I liked the campsite a lot."
"From the East you’ll pass thru all of that, past the Camp Richardson and finally turn away from Lake Tahoe into Fallen Leaf Campground."
"Road noise was not too bad and the ability to see the lake made up for anything we heard. The campground was well maintained. The snow added to the scenery. Our pad was paved, but pretty skinny."
"The location is pretty good with close by restaurants and stores. We used our bikes and took some great rides from there. Campsites were nice size, didn’t feel too crammed in."
$59 - $94 / night

$25 - $45 / night

$47 - $49 / night
"It's right on the California-nevada state line near Lake Tahoe. In my opinion, this is one of the most beautiful places in the US. A lot of the campsites have a view of the lake."

$41 - $45 / night

$55 - $57 / night
"Just a small walk away from Lake Tahoe shore. Big beautiful trees cover the entire campground. A couple bathrooms that surprisingly do not smell bad and have a running faucet."
"The beach is about a 5 minute walk from any spot. Only complaints are the beach is not dog friendly so if you have your dog you can’t go onto the beach but, you can drive close to a dog beach."
ScoutFirst come first serve sites although plenty, fill up fast. Luckily there is a lot of Dispersed camping all the way around the lake! So beautiful, and the lake is really warm in the summer
ScoutStayed for 2 nights, there was no person available to make reservations or talk to about anything. Also they are charging a ridiculous price and advertising there is wifi but the wifi has no internet.
ScoutVery peaceful setup with a good distance between campsites. Perfect if you want to bike the wonderful trails nearby.
TravelerThe road to get here is rocky, but worth every second! We love spending our time here. Found a perfect spot with easy access to water right outside of our tent. Very friendly area for our dog - zero ticks the whole weekend! Would highly recommend the drive but make sure your vehicle is able to go up steep rocky roads.
LegendThe office staff was very nice. We called ahead to find if they had a spot and they did. Arrived 20 minutes before the office closed at 6 pm. Got one of the two sites they use for Class Bs. Bathroom ok - single stall for men and single for women. Smelled like cigarettes :(. Laundry. Showers. Mostly needed plug in to run AC as it is hotter than blazes. Drove 470 miles today so had to stop.
GuideVery convenient off 395 and friendly staff and very clean facilities. Paved sites and picnic areas.
ScoutViews are unreal but would not suggest walking barefoot, tent camping or bringing dogs up here. The bottoms of our shoes looked like a warzone and when we laid down in our tents we were pricked by goatheads. Opted to sleep in the front seat of our Forester 😂
2wd or RV would be tough but perhaps doable depending on the driver. Tough road for sure
LegendThe staff here gets the first shout out. Lana Banana and Mary at the front create a real pleasant atmosphere as you roll in. I camped here twice already this year and once a while back. The rest of the staff (shout out Martin) and the rangers who advise on bears like Cinnamon* are all great.
Pros:
Cons:
The lake, oh my, maybe the most beautiful lake in the entire Tahoe region. It isn't as big, but it is flat like glass, deep, and crystal clear. It is cold as an icicle–colder. Cold as a frozen heifers nose. That's probably a saying somewhere. Either way, bring a hammock. Bring a paddleboard (which will get checked for invasives), and bring yourself ready to relax.
Great hiking. Chill vibes. I can't recommend this spot enough. Compared to the parking lot style campgrounds or resorts throughout Tahoe-region, this is really camping and the rates are low comparatively, though not low, actually. $48/night. There are a few yurts if you go for that sort of thing.
TravelerSuper clean site, friendly park rangers, and loved the easy hike down to the private beach. We encountered a mama bear and her 2 cubs quite a few times but everyone worked together to make noises. I do wish there was a better system in place to help orient the bears back into the forest. All the noise did was scare them into walking in circles all around the campground.
