Please note: due to Tahoe's often unpredictable weather, there is a possibility that we will switch the days, and run the sorting event first, and the dive day/shoreline cleanup second. After lunch, CUTL will give a brief talk to share more about their work in Tahoe and beyond, and we will also get a tour of their research truck, which was recently outfitted with a Four Wheel Campers Project M. June 22: The sorting event will either be at the marina or the campground, and that will last from about 9am to noon. Fallen Leaf Lake is a scenic 15-acre lake surrounded by mature.

Volunteers who are NOT on the water are free to go, or they can come back around 3pm and assist with unloading. To make a reservation, contact the City of Camas Parks & Recreation Department at (360)834-5307. Both groups will meet back at the marina around noon for lunch. Those helping CUTL's divers will be based by the marina those wishing to assist with the shoreline cleanup will depart around 8:30am. June 21 : Everyone will meet at the marina at 8am, and we will break into two groups. Volunteers will be asked to handle, weigh and log the debris with the guidance of CUTL staff. We will also have a sorting session with debris collected from our cleanup and previous CUTL events. While the shoreline cleanup will be a shorter activity, it will involve walking up to a mile, and potentially carpooling if we pick a different location in the community. Volunteers who do not want to get in the water will assist with a shoreline cleanup for part of the day, and return to the dive site to help unload and categorize debris. We will also have the opportunity for a licensed boater to drive CUTL’s 26’ rear lounge tritoon for part of the day, with CUTL’s approval. If you are an experienced scuba diver and you want to help, please let us know, and CUTL will determine whether you can dive with their team. We will have 4-6 snorkelers and up to two kayakers at a time.
#FALLEN LEAF LAKE CAMPING PLUS#
Volunteers who want to get in the water will have the option of snorkeling or kayaking, plus diving, with CUTL’s approval. At $34.50 you want the best spots.Divers collect debris underwater, snorkelers help with spotting, and kayakers help bring debris out of the water. The outer loop sites are mostly well shaded and have a lot more privacy, as well as lake accessibility if you are in the back row which I’d recommend. It’s tough being in the middle of that when you weren’t planning on joining a new family. On our second night we stayed in the inner loop and our neighbors had booked 19 sites for incoming family and friends. The inner loop, with its lack of privacy, was the spot for large groups. The outer loop is where you want to be if you are looking for any privacy or traveling alone. The staffers were friendly, helpful and accessible. The toilets everywhere are flush and each loop has at least one camp host staying on it. The older bathrooms along the inner loop are dated and worn but have accessible outlets if you need some juice. There are no outlets for charging or bathroom appliances though. There are about four per loop (give or take 25 sites) but we never had a problem finding one open. You can get done what you want but no more. We preferred setting up the hammock by Fallen Leaf Lake. Across the main road from the campground is the mighty Lake Tahoe. There are bear boxes at each site, and kids everywhere you probably won't be a bears first target.
Tours & Tickets: You may request changes to tour dates at no cost. We never saw one, but the camp staff and campers around us all had bear stories that "just happened yesterday! or last week! or in 1950!" Basically, bears. You can cancel or change reservations through or by calling 1-87.
#FALLEN LEAF LAKE CAMPING FULL#
It’s going to be full of kids and dogs and campers who are not necessarily out there to experience nature but to see family and friends and likely drink a caseload of Bud Light a day. One of the better jobs by a large scale campground I’ve experienced.īut be prepared. It is absolutely that place that families go year after year after year, but if you can get a site on the outer loop you can still have some separation, plenty of trees and with the lake so close, feel like you’re in the heart of nature. That said, Fallen Leaf Campground does a great job of keeping an “out in the woods” vibe. Fallen Leaf Campground is a massive 206+ site compound complete with its own store, shower houses and if you travel past the camp all the way to the other side of the lake (and other campgrounds) an ice cream shop.
