I was so disappointed in our trip to Bass Lake this past summer. The Forks Campground was loud, people partying way past 10pm and generators running all hours of the night. There was so much trash around the lake and at the day use sites, it made me want to cry. So many day use folks coming in and just dumping all of their trash everywhere. There is absolutely NO accountability or education around lakeside manners, respect for the environment and other campers. I would like to come back to Bass Lake, but it's not like it used to be.

The campsite was adequate with good access to restroom facilities. Restrooms were okay - door locks did not work. Swimming lake was an enjoyable respite.

Site is good but NO trees shade at all. Over all is good. Close to the lake within walking distance.
