Bass Lake at Yosemite RV Resort

This place will never be what it was. This was our family annual camp site, where the highlight of our trip was the great customer service and the cleanliness of the place, especially the restrooms. This is not the case anymore. The company was recently bought by a corporation that has zero experience in camping/RV park, customer service, and their only concern is to make a profit. The restrooms are now disgusting. I’ve never seen anyone come in to clean them in 2 days. Previously, they would constantly come in to clean them. Also, in previous years, when we would do a reservation, we would get assigned spots, and now the reserved spots are no longer respected. They give away spots and now our family was spread out all over the camp site and when we asked the office, they said they didn’t know what happened. Everyone seems oblivious and don’t give you a straight answer. It saddens me to say our family will no longer be staying here for our annual camp trip. This place is a disgrace now.

The new owners are running this park to the ground. We let our membership go because we will no longer stay here. Terrible staff and ownership. Sad because we have had good times here over the years. Outdoorsy is the new owner and they have know idea how to run a RV PARK.

My wife and I stayed at a tent site here with our 9month old son for the very first time. Upon arrival we recognized the sites are very close together and somewhat small. Our site was roughly three spots away from a group tent site which had a large group of roughly 20-30 people staying. When we arrived around 1pm they had music playing on a large speaker. We said nothing at the moment but hoped it would not last. We left the campground and came back around 8pm with the music still blaring.

Night 1:
At quiet hours (10pm) the group decided to inflate a large projector screen to have all the kids watch a movie with the same loud speaker. At this point we were getting frustrated. Also, the security of the campground had passed this group multiple times without saying anything.
At 10: 30 my wife stopped security and asked if he could quiet down the group. He said he would try. It had little affect. I called in to complain about the noise a few minutes later. Again they sent the security guard and as I spoke with him he said, “I don’t know what you want me to do, I have been up since 5am and I’m tired, I didn’t even want this job I inherited it. Some people think quiet hour starts at 11. And I have already told them to be quiet. ”

Night 2:
The large group had a TV with the Pay-Per-View Fight on (again blaring it for the whole campground to hear) along with the projector screen and a movie playing simultaneously. Thankfully it was shut off shortly after quiet hours. Instead they decided to listen to music, talk loudly, scream, and laugh all the way to 2: 45am in the morning.
I never saw the security vehicle that night (I think he avoided that side of the campground as it was clear he did not like confrontation from the conversation the night before).

Other things to note:
-Bathrooms could be very nice if cleaned.
-Seems like most members dislike the new owners (as was mentioned in person and through other reviews)
-Don’t expect any enforcement on rules being broken
-Campsites and Trailer sites are small and stacked on each other.
-We will never be staying at this campground again

Other than that enjoy!

I’m adding a star to make it a 2 star review as Kim (the manager) reached out to me after taking the email survey after our visit. She was willing to refund one of our nights.

An all gravel site that has very narrow RV sites that are quite uneven. If our neighboring seat were occupied, we probably wouldn't be able to fully extend the awning.
The bumpers on the paths are also annoying. They shake the vehicles unnecessarily, even when driving very slowly.
WiFi with good speed and unlimited number of devices, but does not reach all places.

Nice location, wish spaces were a little bigger. Main complaint is WHY are the speed bumps SO big. It is unnecessarily jarring in a large vehicle towing

Disappointing Stay Saved Only by Decent Restrooms:

Our campsite was more of a dusty dirt patch than a pleasant camping spot, with an adjacent construction pile making the air quality significantly worse. The electricity we were promised was out, and the technician they sent to fix it was unhelpful and rude, declaring that it wouldn't be fixed, period! This was incredibly disruptive as our EV needed charging for AC and camp mode. No offer of a refund or even an apology was extended, making for a highly disappointing experience. The only saving grace warranting the second star was the acceptable quality of the bathrooms and showers. Still, overall, this campground failed to meet even the most basic standards, and I can't recommend it.

My parent shave been members here for many years and have been very happy until the new owners jacked up the prices to make it unaffordable for them. I feel as though they have taken advantage of members that have invested in them for many years and now my parents are abandoning their membership. That may be the goal of the new owners. Vary shady. I'll never go here again. It's not on the lake. You can't even see the lake from this park.

This was one of our favorite places to go, especially during the winter. However with the recent purchase from OutDoorsy, a company who has never run an RV park, just rentals, it is clear this park is heading down a path of failure.

I will be shocked to see if the park is even open in a few years from now which is sad. Outdoorsy has no idea what they’re doing running an RV Park, and even admit to that in a letter introducing them Zelda to members. Now with near 1000 unhappy members, many of whom are leaving memberships behind, it will be surprising to see if they can stay open. They lied to their members promised a town hall meeting, with limited change. No meeting occurred and prices for members (and general public has tripled. Spaces are small, and close together, which was ok for the great prices they had. New rates are not worth the space.

Also taking “Bass Lake” out of the name but leaving “Yosemite” is silly. Bass lake is walkable from the park, Yosemite is an hour and a half drive to the valley. Selfish cooperate greed has taken over a once family friendly and history RV park.

We stayed for two weeks in December. We really enjoyed our stay and had no issues while we were there. The park was only like 25% full, which is why we enjoyed our stay. If it had been full, we would have been quite disappointed because of how close the RV spots that are available to non members were. You are within walking distance to Bass Lake village and the lake itself. Although we did not stay during summer or fall, from reading other reviews this place is packed during those seasons. We would stay here again, but only in the off-season.

Always clean, welcoming and ample parking. Has a great family feeling that people care about this park. If this place loses that feeling, I won't keep coming back.

This park was overly rustic. Paved roads, but all of the rv parking was crushed rock, narrow, hilly and uneven. All of this made worse by fires nearby taking out the power on a 108F day. I had to do a 4 point turn to get out of the pull through. Backing up was an option, but I had to go out that way and still needed to turn around. I've marked this off of a place to go back.

Camp site was great full hook ups and tent areas. They offer rec rooms for both kids and adults. Pool tables and tvs in both rec rooms. Ping pong table in kids rec room. Kitchen, tables and seating in adult rec room. Bit out dated as far as decore but not a deal breaker for me. They also have a pool, clean restrooms and showers if needed. Nice hike to a creek/lake.

Recently stayed here for a week in July 2022. Have stayed here three times before. Principally a members resort with full hookup RV sites (50 amp), some sites only water & elec, a few tent sites, cozy cabins. However, note that remaining available spots open up to non-members to book at 90 days before.

-Site 70 was under trees on a hill with tiered spots. Fortunately they offered a spotter to help us back in our 33' fifth wheel into the gravel site. The site has great shade. Site so narrow though with so much slippery gravel, that I would not want young kids at this site as (1) they could slip down the hill just walking beside the RV and (2) there is no play area near RV due to being on a hill.very close to showers/bathrooms (3 showers, 3 toilets) and a bridge to take you down to pool, main clubhouse, kids' clubhouse, laundry room (bring lots of quarters), propane, a few items to buy at office (no snacks).

-Wifi has been upgraded (for purchase). Had an awesomely strong signal compared to previous years. First day, you get a code for free wifi (on a tiny piece of paper, don't lose it!) for just 24 hours, one device. When it expired, we purchased 30 days for 5 devices for $25, which is well worth it for the strong signal. The only other option I believe was $3 for one day.

-This year, the $20 site guarantee was honored and we actually got the site we booked!

-We are Good Sam members, but as we paid for site in full online at booking (required), when checking in was told it was too late to receive a 10% discount for Good Sam.

-Note the cancellation policy is a FULL three days before check in. For instance, say you were checking in on a Thursday, you must cancel (and not by voicemail) by the Sunday before your first day. Of course, for clarity they should just say four days before to cancel as most places don't count days that way.

-Our cell signal (Verizon) was fine at resort but was mostly non-existent when driving around lake and while dining at Ducey's at The Pines Resort

-Fri, Sat, Sun hot meals were available for purchase from food truck vendor crew in small cafe area at certain times of the day.

-Loud bell rung at 8am indicating breakfast (8-10am) by food truck vendor available to all for purchase (weekends). We were up the hill so far enough away, but wondered how those located close to the bell felt about that early wake up call.

-Nice large clubhouse with vending machine and gigantic TV and couches. Books, VHS and DVDs available to borrow. Horseshoe pit, dog park, basketball, pool, shuffleboard.

-Pool apparently not patrolled as we saw a woman in the pool drinking a beer in a glass bottle (potentially dangerous if it breaks!). Some pool chairs and plastic lounge chairs on grass outside pool fenced-in area.

-Both kids' clubs renovated recently (pool tables, foosball)

-Shaved ice truck, at least on our weekend

Nearby: Sunday 9: 30am Catholic mass at St. Dominic Mission on Road 222 in the summer. Ducey's Bar & Grill, pizza/bakery/ice cream parlor, gift shops, market, post office, very small 2-pump Shell gas station (no diesel). Rentals for patio boats, kayak, waverunners. Uneven asphalt roads to ride bikes around the area and to The Pines Resort but hilly at times.

We had a trailer spot and it was nice. Fully shaded, but a little unleveled. The staff was great at handling the questions we had and also helped us find our spot. It was only a few minute walk to the village, but really wished I had taken the bikes to ride around. Overall awsome.

Nice little cabin in the RV park. Spacious and well equipped with dishes, cleaning supplies, toilet paper and paper towels. Self check in and out was easy. The check in office also has extra things you can buy (munchies, drinks and ice). I will stay here again.

Worst customer service called in for reservation and got put on hold then hung up on. Called again and only had to deal with the lady’s attitude and apparently now there all booked up all those lady’s in the office need to be checked by the manager SERIOUSLY!

Overall it's a great place to stay, lots of activities! Only complaint is the size of the bed in the cabin, just a little too small. Other than that it was a great experience!

This is advertised as a resort, but the reality brings unfriendly staffing, RV spots really close to each other, music out loud disturbing the whole campground. I’ll try to post the video here from 9pm for you to have an idea. Go anywhere else but not here if you value your weekend and your peace. And last but not least, they advertise Wi-Fi as an amenity, but there’s no Wi-Fi included in the daily rate. We have to pay for Wi-Fi access and even paying it’s not good.
