Bass River is definitely a spot that I’ll come back to again and again. It’s easily accessible from the Garden State Parkway, the staff is very friendly and very helpful, the whole property is gorgeous and there are great amenities nearby.

I gave 4 out of 5 stars because the bathrooms are an absolute disaster. That said, we only used one of the buildings (closest to our site) and there were multiple bathroom buildings on the south shore campground. I’m hoping that the construction on the nor shore campground addresses this issue.

While there isn’t a ton of privacy, there is a little more space than you’d find at other campgrounds. We could definitely hear other people, but we didn’t see them much. Road noise was occasionally noticeable, but it was never a problem. In less than 10 minutes, you can be back in civilization with plenty of food and drink options nearby, not to mention a Walmart Supercenter.

Being here over Memorial Day weekend wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it could be. I’ll come back again over the summer and fall.
