Lovely lake and campground. Very clean and well maintained. Great host. Stayed on a Monday and it was pretty empty. Likely everyone was up for the weekend. The price is just steep for a single car tent site at $44

Camp host was great, fairly quiet site (traffic on the main road finally died down) clean site and restrooms. All in all, very good campsite.

Beautiful, quiet. Great location. Swimming in the lake. Welcoming and friendly host. Bass Lake is well worth staying a few days at and around to get some of the benefits of Yosemite and more, but without the crowds.

Enjoyed our mountain camping at the Forks campground. We were surrounded by the beautiful nature. The pine trees, oaks, manzanitas and view of the beautiful Bass Lake from our campsite #25. The campgrounds are Meticulously
Maintained by Joan and Clay the friendly hosts. The bathrooms were always stocked with toilet paper and the sink, toilet, trash and floors surprisingly clean. Also registration was simple, just walked down to host’s campsite to receive our slip and parking pass. They offered local firewood for $8 purchase, as to avoid bringing outside bark beetle wood to harm these local trees.
The campground is walking distance to the Forks Resort with their famous Burgers and even offered a veggie burger too. The market was full of needed camping supplies if you forgot anything and of course plenty of souvenir choices too.
Forks is also just steps away from Bass Lake for boating, fishing, kayaking, stand up paddle boarding and just lounging on a lake raft or inner tube.
The friendly ducks loved saying hello to us while we visited the lake.
Very relaxing this time of year it wasn’t crowded.
Yosemite is only a 15 mile drive from Bass Lake area.
Great family times and memories were had by all.
We definitely will return to Forks Campground again.
