Fallen Leaf Campground
USFS Lake
Tahoe Basin Management Unit
 Fallen Leaf campground is named for nearby
Fallen Leaf
Lake. But don't be fooled, it's not on Fallen Leaf
Lake. The lake can be accessed by trail from camp or
turn right out of camp and travel approximately 3 miles down a
patchily paved narrow road.
The boat ramp
for the lake is at the
Fallen Leaf Marina which is clear across on the other side. With
how much traffic there is on the road and how narrow it is,
it's quite dangerous to take a large truck with a boat in tow
down there.
The
campground is clean with all the facilities you can get from a
Forest Service campground. Sites are averagely spaced,
and well forested with typical low Tahoe trees, mostly
ponderosa pine, with occasional white fir and aspen.
There aren't any sites on the lake here.
There is a
day-use area with a trailhead, but I don't know where the
trail goes. Camp Richardson is only 2 miles away with
Lake Tahoe access, a general store and horseback riding.
The City of South Lake Tahoe is about 5 miles
away. Reviewed 07/2000.
