Bass Lake Resort operates as a membership-based campground on open terrain beside its namesake lake in Parish, New York. The private facility accommodates RVs up to 40 feet with full hookups including electric, water, and sewer connections, plus amenities like WiFi, showers, and a dump station. Access roads can be rough, requiring careful navigation for larger rigs.
The resort functions primarily as a timeshare operation where members can camp at seven affiliated locations along the East Coast. Non-members can visit through promotional weekends that include a two-hour membership presentation, with some packages offering up to 21 days of free camping. One reviewer noted the family-friendly atmosphere where children safely ride bikes and walk around independently. For additional options in the region, campers can explore camping near Altmar. Reservations are available year-round, and pets are permitted on-site.
Description
Bass Lake Resort is a world-class destination located in the heart of Central New York. Since we opened in 1987, families and friends have been creating priceless memories at our 244-acre outdoor resort– featuring a 30-acre private lake, ideal for fishing, boating or just relaxing. It’s no wonder so many of our guests have been with us from the beginning, and why every year more and more discover one of New York’s finest outdoor resorts.
At Bass Lake Resort, there is truly something for individuals of all ages and interests. Our activities and events are second to none, and take place May through October. Not to mention our two outdoor swimming pools; two clubhouses, one for families as well as one just for the adults; a miniature golf course; a restaurant and bar, featuring delicious, large-portion homemade meals and desserts; a country store; nature trails, for both short walks and long hikes; laundry facilities and much more. As a gated and secure year-round resort, there’s always a comfortable, safe and warm sense of community. This has helped to facilitate countless close and long-lasting friendships among our guests.
We are passionate about providing opportunities for our guests to create what we call “memorable experiences” – those times together that create memories which last a lifetime. Sure, we have a beautiful lake, a clean facility, plenty of things to do, and a friendly and helpful staff, but we like to think of it as an opportunity to bring people together. A chance for a child to catch his or her first fish with Mom, Dad or a grandparent; a nightly campfire gathering full of conversation, laughter and toasted marshmallows; time to really enjoy family and friends without all of the normal weekday distractions; and activities that bring old friends together and help new friendships begin.
Whether you are part-time or full-time RV traveler or just a fan of camping, Bass Lake Resort is one of the best RV campgrounds for you to camp at to make the most of your camping trip.
