What Guests Are Saying

Little Bass Lake Campsites offers a beautiful, secluded environment with easy access to the lake and a lovely walking trail. While the campsites are close together and mosquitoes can be an issue, bug spray and fire help mitigate the problem. The campground features clean facilities, ample firewood, and a peaceful atmosphere, making it a great spot for a private getaway.

The view in the picture is not the view when we came in August but still a beautiful site. The campground is angled down towards the water so plan accordingly. Otherwise, great campground, clean bathroom, and quiet.

Close to the lake, beautiful campsite, great firerings with built in grates. Went here because some plans got messed up for a usual trip, plan on returning next year. Not far away from town if you need anything, and the Steuben service station is got most things youd need in a pinch anyway.

For roughing it, it was perfect. Limited camp sites right on the lake, quiet at night. For $8/night it was a steal.

Great site location. Had a little wear and tear on some of the fire pits but nothing extreme. Toilet was clean.

Lovely camping spot! All of the camping spots are well separated so you don't have to worry about noise or anything. The area was well looked after and had a beautiful lake to hike around. My biggest recommendation is to get there with at least half a tank of gas! I didn't realize how remote the site was so gas was a bit of a worry. But of course, that part is on my faulty research- not on the camp site.
Would highly recommend it!

WOLVES! And lots of them. Please be fully aware staying here at night. There was a huge pack of them howling right next to our campsite around midnight and woke us up. We ended up sleeping in the truck. I would not suggest sleeping in a tent on the ground here especially if you cook out and have the smell of food. We had a truck bed tent off the ground, but we still didn’t feel safe enough due to how close the wolves were. Other then that, it was a beautiful and clean campsite, and wasn’t crowded at all. There was only one other couple down the way. Very little cell service, almost none.
