Great view of the lake from Site 5. Would recommend going family camping there.

Very tight campground; do not bring large RVs! I have a 20 ft trailer that barely fit the roads. Nice view from spot 26 at the top of the hill. Noisy party area around the campground is the only negative.

The location itself was beautiful and the camp host was very informative and friendly. Plenty of flat spaces to pitch tents with a great view of the lake.
You do get a certain amount of noise from the local resorts and people kept walking through our camp en route to the well-stocked bathroom.

Victoria was very friendly and made us feel right at home. We have camped at Bass Lake for over 30 years and Victoria is one of the best hosts yet. Than you.

Loved the area. Lake was clean and plenty of fish to catch. Paid boating is just at walking distance.

For starters, the road to this location isn’t as bad as some people say it is. It’s fully paved with minor twists and turns. The campsite itself is absolutely gorgeous. Out of all other sites in the area, I feel this one is the best for your money. It’s close to the lake & there’s a little shop/restaurant near by to get food & rent boats. Cell service for Verizon & AT&T is pretty good. I do feel the bathrooms could be a little updated, the road in the campground could use some work & the landscaping around the sites could be cleaned up a little. The picnic tables could be adjusted a little (ours was pretty wobbly) and the maintenance crew could have a little better job at cleaning the sites in between guests. The camp host, Victoria, was great. Very nice and informative. My girlfriend and I definitely plan on returning to this location in the future.
