Love this campground and this beautiful little lake. Last summer was out family's 4th year here. It's very hard to get good sites near the lake. I was up at 7am every morning trying to snag one when they open 6 months in advance but still failed. CampNab to the rescue! Sites are spread out nicely, staff is friendly, lake is absolutely breathtaking. We spend our entire trip here and forget that Tahoe is even there haha.
We were able to book a campsite very close to Lake Tahoe for our very last minute trip (in a week). We didn’t think this website would actually work! We were so glad we signed up, definitely will be using this site again and highly recommend!
This campground is located next to the beach, and it takes a minute or two to walk from your site to the lake. Sites are mainly small, mostly shaded, but with little to no privacy. Some sites share the same paved pad, so plan accordingly if camping with a van. Clean flush toilets but no shower. Bears are visiting every night starting 10pm, and bear proof food boxes are provided.
As last minute planners, spur of the moment travelers, and spontaneous campers, we rely on campnab. The service is user friendly, and has access to many, though not all, campgrounds. I have even used it to camp where I live, in Lake Tahoe, for lake front weekends!
Amazing campground with beach on site. Great for the kids with bike friendly loops and a beach spot everyone could enjoy. Close to all the Tahoe amenities but far enough away that doesn’t feel like you are camping in town. Good spot for base camp before backpacking trip into desolation wilderness too. Highly recommend!
Getting a camping reservation at Lake Tahoe is difficult. Campnab makes it simple and allows flexibility.
Very Happy. We were able to pickup a very nice camp spot in a very competitive place to get.
We love this campground! It's right on Fallen Leaf Lake, 1 mile from Lake Tahoe. Great mountain bike rides right from your campsite. Rock climbing nearby. Incredible hiking nearby. Every site has shade. All the activities our family likes (biking, hiking, climbing, swimming/paddle boarding) that we usually go farther into the wilderness for, but here you also have civilization 5 minutes away. Thanks to Campnap all our kids and grandkids got sites also, so its family reunion time! Thanks Capnab!
We appreciated the opportunity to get camps at this popular spot and did get most of the ones we hoped for. Still need one site for one more night. Got confused on phone as to what to push when camp came up on phone! Has to be done super fast. Thanks for emailing us after we asked a previous question.
Tell us when, where, and how long you want to camp for. We’ll notify you (via SMS) when a suitable spot opens up at that campground—so you can nab that sold-out campsite reservation!
