It has 206 campsites for tents, trailers and RVs. The proposed forest order is undergoing an environmental assessment. Fallen Leaf Campground is nestled among towering native pine trees in a peaceful alpine canyon close to Fallen Leaf Lake. Eastbank Campground is located on Lake Seminole on the Georgia-Florida state line. Other locations that do not presently have approved bear-proof dumpsters or food storage lockers would be exempt from the forest order until such facilities are made available.įorest orders requiring proper storage of food and garbage are not uncommon in national forests in the Pacific Southwest Region and Tahoe and Inyo national forests have had such orders in place for years, according to Gibson. The goal is to have at least those three sites addressed by this summer. If a bear chases your dog, you can probably guess where your dog is going to run for safety. The site length includes a driving vehicle and towed vehicle. Dogs can antagonize bears and cause an attack. Fallen Leaf Lake Campground, Meeks Bay Resort and Meeks Bay Campground would be the initial implementation sites for what would eventually become a forest-wide action.
