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.

Very nice campsite. The sites were extremely close to each other but no one was there besides the first night. Definitely have mosquitoes at this location but bug spray, candles, fire and we had a screened in gazebo definitely helped. Sites 4 was on a slope but it seemed like the rest had flat spots for a tent. We were able to make site 4 work even with the slope because it was one of the larger sites.

What a beautiful little campground! Quiet, secluded, with a lovely trail down to the lake. It was a little bit of a trick to find it, because the sign pointing to the drive-in is missing. Look for the outhouse! I would stay here again.

Beautiful spot; however, sites are ON TOP OF EACHOTHER. This likely wouldn't be that big of an issue unless you're as lucky as me and your neighbor's dog barks at every single owl at night and the owner themself snores like a STIHL MS 251 chainsaw, in which case you may have to pack up camp and move at 1am. Other than that amazing.

The campground is small with only 3 sites but they are well spaced and private. Campsite 1 is level with ample room for our 21 ft pop up camper trailer. Lake was beautiful and caught a few large mouth bass and bluegill. However,campsite 4 does not have direct access to the lake shore like the other three sites do.

It's a nice, Remote site that has its own path down to a lake. I only shared the entire campground with one other camper and only for one of the three nights I stayed there. Make sure you either have a means of filtering water or bring it with you as there is water source outside the lake.

People are pathetic. This includes the people that oversee these sites. I walked into a campsite with a fire pit full of garbage. Why don’t you pigs just stay home?

WOW! What an amazing off the grid campground! The site was slightly difficult to find but other than that amazing. There is 1 bathroom that is far from the sites but it is well kept. The campsites are very spread out. Campsite 1 did not have a lake view but was very private.

Another amazing camping trip im the books
We love the site and how clean and peaceful it is. The lake was so low though and wish there was somewhere to dispose of our trash. Can't wait until next year to camp again
