We came here on a Sunday in August and it was fantastic. It was my first time here. You can either arrive early to buy the permit on site or buy online before. The park is pretty huge and offers camping, nice sandy beach, day use picnic area, playground for kids and also rental canoe. We used the day pass for the beach and picnic area. Picnic area is pretty clean with multiple benches to use and also barbeque is allowed. The beach however is pretty small compared to picnic area. It is very clean with clear water. There is a store nearby beach area offering some small items and rental canoes, which is reasonably priced for an hour use. Parking space is close to each picnic area and there is alot of space to park. Washrooms are pretty clean and it was stocked once we visited. Overall, I enjoyed the experience here and I will come back for sure.

Nice park, easy to get around. Close to town in the event you forget anything, too. Only downside was that our campsite was pretty slanted. We were expecting major rainfall all weekend so we had to set up our tents on the very edges of the site as to miss the water run-off trails to keep our tents dry. Canoe/kayak rentals reasonably priced. Park offers a few docks for fishing - but the water is quite shallow so bring bobbers unless you’re going out on the water.

My recent camping trip is in Bass Lake Provincial Park - Lakeview campground. We are 3 families, having fun in doing canoeing, fishing and small hiking. Stayed for 2 nights, one has to book early. Kids have real fun.

My recent camping trip to Bass Lake Provincial Park was nothing short of fantastic, especially if you’re traveling with an RV. The park provides easy access to both dumping and water filling stations, making the whole process incredibly convenient. The park itself is peaceful, and the lake is stunning. There’s a small beach area that’s perfect for kids, offering a safe swimming environment. For those who enjoy paddling, the park is a paradise for canoe and kayak enthusiasts. The calm waters and scenic surroundings provide a perfect backdrop for a day out on the lake.
