The Camp Host was so friendly! The location near Bass Lake made it a perfect base camp for us to visit Yosemite NP. The flush toilets were fully equipped and very clean. We loved our stay and will be returning next season!

I first would like to highlight the immense kindess and effective service we got from Ms.Carmen, the campground groundkeeper. She was so welcoming to our entire family. It felt like the whole Forks campground, was her home. Funny detail that convinced us to comeback, was the fresh and clean smell of the bathrooms and clean campground. Also bass lake over all was great, it was very warm our first 2 nights there. So make sure to get a shaded area. Now another fun detail. We had a daily set of visitors. A mama bear and her cub. Overall Basslake was a future place for our families to comeback.
