![]() Our camp host spent her (his?) time driving from one campsite to the next doling out citations from the comfort of her golf cart scooter. The concept of customer service seemed completely lost on the staff. Unfortunately, the "rangers", camp hosts and staff seemed only interested in the camp rules and regulations, with no regard to whether or not these "rules" make camping possible. The sites are large and the lake is pristine. I hate to give Fallen Leaf Campground a poor rating, because on the whole it is a beautiful place. ![]() But otherwise, would not stay there again, (we also felt it was overpriced for what you got $80 a night?!)- we are quiet and respectful of our neighbors, we don't drink, yet we felt like "big brother" was watching & who wants that when you're just trying to relax and enjoy the outdoors? I liked the yurts (despite lack of electrical outlets AND NO table or chairs inside the yurt) because it got pretty cold the nights we were there and the heater did it's job. when I looked at the handout the rangers gave us at check-in, the paper said checkout 2:00pm! But the hosts insisted on 12:00pm. Also, we were told there was electricity available, so we bought an electric tea kettle to heat up water for coffee in the morning, but when we got there, they just have a portable heater and floor lamp (no shade) - with a hole cut in the floor & the cords running under the yurt where the plug was located! So no electrical outlet! Also, our neighbors were told to get out immediately by the camp host (it was 12:01, I actually checked my watch), and I heard the campers saying they were told 2:00pm. The layout is: one queen bed, a single above that, and a "full" futon-pullout. Also, the yurts stated they slept 6, but when we got there, the yurts only slept 5. Otherwise, the campground is very beautiful, but the camp hosts can be real jerks. Also, the swimming area (beach) is very narrow, we drove across to Baldwin(?) beach and enjoyed a great beach with wonderfully clear water. Unfortunately, the driver of the vehicle will need to go back to the campsite (or drive to a guest parking spot OUTSIDE the campground-which may be closer than your campsite!) No parking right by the lake, so if you are traveling with elderly/small children, and want to haul floaties, etc., it's a HUGE hassle. Unless you have a campsite near the path to the lake, you will have quite a ways to walk, or, will have to be dropped off by someone near the path down to the lake. I think the previous reviewers have basically said it all (the good and the bad), I just wanted to add my disappointed of the beach.
