100% recommend..

My wife and 2 kids and I came up to lupine for Labor day weekend. The campsite in very nice as its right across the road from Bass Lake. Everyone was very cool and the Hosts Mary & Tony were super nice and our kids enjoyed seeing all the bear pictures from the campsite. WE has campsite #93.The campsite was up on a hill and pretty secluded which was nice. The campsite is also not real level so one really big tent or maybe 2 large/medium tents could fit. The only issues we had with it is the pictures of the site are not very accurate or detailed. What is not shown in the pictures is a steep hill that leads directly into the campsite. The hill is somewhat slippery as its just powdered dirt, rocks, and pine cones. The hill made loading and unloading our equipment quite abit harder. Also the parking for site #93 is not really near the campsite itself. Its a decent walk from the parking lot to the site. Despite this we had a good time and enjoyed the weekend. WE would have maybe given it 5 stars if there was showers on the property, but sadly there were not.

Lake is right across the street from camp ground stores are near by

There are active bears in the camp so it's very important to keep your camp clean and please lock the trash containers after you throw trash away. We heard bears in the trash containers late at night very close (75 feet) to our camp - we keep a very clean camp so that was some peace of mind. Mid-week it was really quiet. Then came the weekend and on both sides of us were large groups. One rolled in at 7pm and set up camp and the other at 9pm and stayed up partying until 2am and did not clean up their camp. The location is lovely. The people on the weekends that are rude and obnoxious not so much. We were there on a very hot weekend. Did not cool down until 8pm and it was buggy. The lake was beautiful and we had a beach all to ourselves one day. The kids loved it so we will likely be back, but we will stay away from peak season when all the irritating people come out. Camp hosts were nice and the camp was clean when without people. Flush toilets, but no showers which didn't help with the hot sticky days. No bear boxes so you have to put everything in your car. Surprised bears have not figured out there is food in cars yet, but the ones that were very close to our car did not.

It was a very nice stay, we had a nicely shaded site and the host was very kind and apologetic when we had issues with our neighboring site. We encountered several bears, one in the surrounding campgrounds, and one visited our neighbors site at night! Be sure to put away all food into a locked car to prevent the same from happening. The lake is very nice to swim in.

Great campsite and wonderful host. Didn’t see any bears. Had geese and quail come through our campsite the second night. Bathrooms are very clean as well. The only complaint I have is how noisy the lake is

Love Lupine campground and Bass lake. We’ve been coming here for many years with family and it’s always so fun. However, the past 2 summers, the camp host has been HORRIBLE and has really tainted our normally positive experience. She screamed at us about having a tire slightly off the pad, about our dog that had just escaped off the leash etc.
I understand enforcing the rules and she was right to say something, but she does not have the right to be verbally abusive. This was a repeated thing. We had 3 campsites with our family and each was yelled/ screamed at for various things. After responding to her requests, I told her that she could have just asked us and that she had no right to treat people this way. She said “I can yell at you if you don’t follow the rules”. She thinks it’s is perfectly acceptable to act this way. We called the sheriff and gave reports of the verbal abuse so the camp hosts (both of them) were asked to NOT interact with us for the remainder of our stay. That made it better, but my sister in law was still fearful to leave her trailer after the way she was treated. She didn’t feel safe at all and was scared to be screamed at again. I’ve never had a camp host act like this before and am shocked that she is still in charge of this campground since she has to be doing this to others.

Tony was an excellent host. Very courteous and resourceful. Ready to help and accommodate any requests for assistance. He dealt very well with some noisy campers. He maintains a very clean facility and the cleanest toilets I have visited in a camp.
The campsite is spacious, very accessible, clean, well maintained and well equipped. It is very close to the lake and other attractions. Excellent base for day trips to Yosemite. I hope to come back.
Thanks, Tony!

Office staff cannot work the online system which costs the renters more money. Instead of modifying my reservation they cancelled it and it costs me $53 and I lost a day so another $60. A lot of back and forth between the office staff and campground host, who was amazing, his name was Andy and he was the only reason I didn’t give this place a one star. I think if the office staff knew what they were doing and didn’t have a “we hate tourists” attitude, I might’ve enjoyed my stay here. But this trip was a disaster before we could even check in. Won’t be back

Our rangers were fantastic, especially Mary. Bathrooms kept clean. Love Bass Lake. My main complaint Is noise level. People were BLASTING their music all day. One group arrives on our last night and played their music and talked loudly until THREE in the morning. Please can something be done about the noise!
