What Guests Are Saying
Recreation Point is praised as one of the best spots on the lake, featuring an excellent location with clean facilities and plenty of shade near the water. While some find the fees for the picnic area and vehicles a bit high, the campsite offers ample space for groups. Visitors should be cautious of bees and note that some areas lack tree cover and are sandy.

One of the best spots on the lake. But to charge for the picnic area, and then charge $10 for each vehicle is a little steep.

We reserved two group camps here to camp with our church. The location was excellent, toilets were always clean. Everyone had a great time. Recommended.

Be aware of bees. Lots of them.
Other than that great site with plenty of space.

Great campsite with plenty of space and easy water/bech access.
However large area has no tree cover and it is very sandy.

I had the understanding we had paid for rental use of the area. As the day went on folks without reservations literally moved in and took over the small spot of beach area we were using. Bass Lake is so crowded it is no longer a enjoyable place for locals to go.

Nice, fairly secluded area. Mostly grassy.
Good sitting and cooking area. Easy access to restrooms. Plenty of parking.
Lake access through Scout camp.

Overall the campsite was great. Direct access to the beach for swimming and clean flush toilets. Plenty of picnic tables, two grills and a fire pit.
Only issues:
1) Very little shade, so bring canopies
2) Strangers think it's okay to walk through the campsite to access the beach. This was very annoying. We had to keep asking them not to do it. Some listened, some didn't.

The over all campsite was in dis- repair. The tables were broken and in bad shape. There were no bear boxes in a bear area. The campsite was dirty , trash over flowing - no campground presence forest service personnel-
Non registered people would pour in late and stay and party all night and leave and there was never any host or Forest service contact. We will not return we will go to Huntington next year- much better managed
