This campground was very well taken care of and maintained during our stay. The campground hosts went above and beyond. Highly recommended if you’re camping at Bass Lake.

I ignored the reviews mentioning the road noise because I thought it was just a campground road, but it is the main road for the lake traffic, so definitely recommend sites further from the road. Campground hosts were great. I booked midweek to avoid crowds and that was a good decision. When the Memorial Day crowds starting coming in, the minimal cell service pretty much disappeared as did the peace and quiet. The hiking trail is intense. I didn't go all the way up to the top, but it would easily be a hard 5 hr hike round trip. Overall a nice campground but I'm still on my quest to find actual lakeside camping in California, something I miss from the east coast.

Great campground, location, and love going to The Forks Resort for breakfast. Camp host (Joan) does a fantastic job of cleaning up campsites and the bathrooms. She is beyond helpful and friendly. Love The Forks campground.
