It's well maintained, but it is very busy during the peak season. My family and I have camped here many times over the last decade.
Word of warning: if you need a lot of direct sunlight for solar charging, this campground has a beautiful tree canopy which filters out most of the direct sun.

Our Sprinter van is equipped with a loud Onan propane generator which seemed too noisy given the peaceful nature of this campground. Yes, this campground is generator friendly and there were a smattering of generators running at various times throughout the day. AND so that we can avoid running our obnoxious generator. We have learned that we need as much direct sunlight as possible throughout the day to keep our batteries charged, so that our electric only fridge/freezer will run. Caution: the half-mile(?) access road into the campground main gate is super bumpy with lots of potholes and a bit narrow for a big rig. Tahoe if you’ve got a bike or a motorcycle. Great proximity to Tallac and Camp Richardson. Staff and Camp Hosts are SUPER friendly and helpful. and dumped out at Hwy.89 and then back to Fallen Leaf Rd. We enjoyed a beautiful hike along the NW corner of the lake, across Taylor Creek dam, which connected to Cathedral Rd. Definitely worth checking out Fallen Leaf Lake, an easy walk from our site. Other campers seemed to be mostly quiet and there were minimal screaming kids. Water was warm and showers had good water pressure. Close proximity to bathrooms and showers which were clean enough. I need to break this review down into two parts. Lots of paths over near Lake Tahoe to walk all around the historic Mt Tallac Museum which is free.

Don’t depend on it.Īcross from the campground is one of the few free beaches called Kiva. The marina was closing the end of the month and the campground was closing mid October.Ĭell service varied all the time and in different areas of the lake. You can mountain bike ride to the marina or road ride on the bike path out to the main road and put in some mileage.
Water was cold when not near the shallow part of the lake. Some people were swimming or just sitting enjoying the view of Mt Tallac. Some windy and some flat days on the lake. We did both and also hiked around numerous paths near the lake. Two main ones, one with parking and the other a shorter shot where people dropped off paddle boards and kayaks. Water available for the RV near the entrance station, ask so you don’t have to make a complete loop around the campground. Other sites that looked good were 5 and 55. Huge area around us with 2 bathrooms close. Our site was awesome, flat, 50 feet long, good sun for our solar and we got satellites on our dish. We had no reservations arrived on a Sunday. There was a mama bear and two cubs checking out sites in broad daylight and three male bears checking the lockers for 3-4 hours every night. Leave your food and anything that smells in the bear lockers. The road leading to the campground is one lane and pretty janky. They also require lifejackets be worn even on kayaks and paddleboards. If you are going to boat they have very specific rules even for non-motorized craft so be careful you may need an inspection decal. The bike trails are extensive and there's a paved one off the main road coming in from the campground.
Kiva Beach, right across the street, is a rare exception and I recommend it. This includes Pope Beach down the road from the campground. Just about everywhere here charges for parking even when it's federal lands and the America the Beautiful Pass doesn't get you in so be prepared for that. The larger parts of the lake seem great for big motorboats but not paddleboards or kayaks. Go into town for supplies but go up north for trails and boating in Emerald Bay and the smaller coves. There is no signal at this campground, despite its proximity to a bustling city.
