Bass Lake Campsite offers a stunning private setting with beautiful lake views and opportunities for solitude, making it a memorable experience for many visitors. While mosquitoes can be a significant nuisance, especially during certain seasons, the campsite's well-maintained facilities and picturesque surroundings have garnered positive feedback. Access may require a vehicle with higher clearance due to uneven dirt roads, but many find the journey worthwhile for the scenic beauty and tranquility.

Our time at Bass Lake was overall pretty good. There were 2 things that were extremely irritating, so much so that we likely won't go back to that site - writing this in hopes that maybe it will prompt change? Perhaps. Bass Lake had hardly any fish - or at least none that we could find. We fished it for 3 days! Not even a bite. This was much different then other lakes in the area, and also much different then the description of the lake read. The next negative - the lack of signage made our campsite very "busy" with visitors. We had 4 trucks with boats come down the turn around - causing us at times to have to move our stuff so they could turn around. It was a constant parade of people some as late as 9pm!- we tried moving a large stump across the road to our driveway, and people got out to move it, or drove over it. I think there needs to be a gate that a camper could close to let others know....there are people down here camping/sleeping/etc...

Policies & Rules

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
