You can't swim here. Too shallow and pebbly. Tons of boulders, large metal pipes, wooden planks, and tree stumps in the water. Great for if you wanna dip your feet. We had to cautiously kayak. Parking is $10 and lot is small. Might as well go to lake tahoe instead. 🤷🏻‍♀️ not too crowded though and beautiful view.

Can you walk to town easily?

Rolean Brown | Oct 1, 2018
Calee Allen | Oct 1, 2018

There is a bike path all the way to the Y, which is the center of the locals' side of town. That is about three miles away, and you can find restaurants, breweries, clothing and groceries there. The casinos are much further away, on the other side of town.

How much is a tent spot and is it open in winter?

mark beaudoin | Oct 1, 2018
Michael Morris | Oct 1, 2018

All spots are the same price. About $35/night. Not open in winter.

How bad is the air at the campground? We have a reservation next week. Do we need to cancel?

James Richardson | Sep 30, 2021
Jorge A | Sep 30, 2021

Their website states "Pets are allowed at all tent and RV sites (max of two pets per site. No pets permitted at yurts. No pets on the beach." Check it on https://www.recreation.gov/camping/campgrounds/232769?tab=info under the Need To Know menu We had our dog with us while the campgrounds were closed and he was on leash. There were other dogs off-leash with their owners nearby as well.

Where can you empty black & gray water tanks?

Rm Conley | Oct 1, 2018
Robin B | Oct 1, 2019

There is no dump station at the Fallen Leaf campground but Camp Richardson has one at the entrance of their RV Park, about a 1/2 mile up the highway. If going towards town turn right. A key must be obtained and a $10 fee will be charged--at least that's what we paid last summer.

Are there tent sites?

Phoenix Phenomenal | Oct 1, 2018
John Moriarty | Oct 1, 2018

Every space is set up for tents or RV

How many nights per stay?

Susie and Ralph Elsner-Dwyer | Oct 1, 2018
DAVID AUBE | Oct 1, 2018

I think you can book a whole week if you wanted to. The only thing is, you must reserve a camp site online or by the phone, and you have to do it like 6 months in advance. Otherwise if you just go to the campground you will rarely find a site open. And even if you do, good luck trying to stay more than one night in the same site. It has become almost a hassle to get a desired site for when you want it. I know that we have to put in our reservation the day that they start taking reservations, or it fills up very fast and I'm talking like within an hour or two that day... Well worth it to get a reservation though. It's one of the prettiest places to go camping in the area! It has become my families yearly camping trip.
