Today, the remains of the resort and the restored estates attract thousands of visitors annually to recapture this bygone and significant era in Tahoe’s history. Nearby AttractionsĪ century ago, what is now the Tallac Historic Site held the ”Grandest Resort in the World” and the summer retreats for three of San Francisco Bay Area’s socially elite families. The campground has some resident black bears that are often seen by guests please be safe around bears. The surrounding woods provide habitat for squirrels, racoons, chipmunks and a variety of birds. Prominent peaks include Cathedral Peak (8,200 feet) and Mount Tallac (9,735 feet). Guests only need to walk a short distance to Fallen Leaf Lake, where the forested shoreline and surrounding mountains are reflected in its crystal-clear waters. The campsites do not offer views of either the lake or Taylor Creek, but they are nestled among towering native pine, cedar, fir and aspen. A camp host is on-site, and firewood and supplies can be purchased from the camp store. Each yurt and standard site has a bear-proof food storage locker, campfire ring, pedestal grill and picnic table.Ĭoin-operated shower facilities, water spigots and accessible restrooms with flush toilets are scattered throughout the campground. The tent and RV sites have paved parking aprons. Cooking supplies and bedding are not provided. Interior furnishings include a futon and bunk beds with mattresses. The yurts sit on a wooden platform and have an electric light and space heater, but no additional electric plug-ins. FacilitiesĮach yurt provides a cabin-like space for a family of five or six people. The Pope-Baldwin bike path parallels Highway 89. Tallac trailheads are nearby for excellent day hiking and backpacking in the Desolation Wilderness. The Taylor Creek Visitor Center is directly across Highway 89 and has interpretive programs, guided walks on the Rainbow Trail and to the Stream Profile Chamber. The bathrooms were clean.Hikers can access the 1-mile Moraine Trail from the campground. There were mosquitoes of course, and what looked like giant robber flies (see google) But it seemed just as you stepped down they got scared and ran away. Our site had a lot of giant black carpenter ants which I was nervous about at first. Safe for the kids to swim in BRING WATER SHOES its all rocks but you can see right down to the bottom even as you go far out. The lake was clear and so beautiful great panoramic picture. our table was big and beautiful.ĥ-10 min easy walk to the opening to the lake. I think all sites have a picnic table, big fire pit and bear box.
The most quiet campground I have stayed at. The walk to the bathroom is fast and just across the way. I believe they allow 2 tents or 1 tent & 1 trailer. There is plenty of room here for a several tents. It is a shame they say only 6 people to a site. A lot of the parking spaces for the trailer are lined with wood posts/big rocks and we didn't have a ton of room right next to the trailer but we loved this site. It is a very big site with lots of room to roam around.
