Summary

AI generated

Little Bass Lake Campsites offers a lovely, secluded environment with well-spaced sites and a beautiful trail leading to the lake. Campers appreciate the quiet atmosphere and the opportunity for fishing, although some sites are closer together than ideal. Essential amenities like a clean toilet and firewood are available, but visitors should prepare for potential mosquito activity and bring their own water or filtration system.

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!

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

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

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.

  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

  • 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.
