Bass Lake at Yosemite RV Resort

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.

So many things wrong with this place in the last two days we actually left a day early!! Let's just start with day 1 and our tent site. We had three nights booked here with no other tents showing up in the spaces near us yet they booked us right next to the dog park so we got to see and smell dog poop the whole time.

Then unpacking the car was difficult due to the herd of feral cats trying to get into our vehicle and our stuff. Literally digging around and pooping IN our campsite. We chased them away to only have them return that night and get into our stuff, so we again chased them away.

Day 2 consisted of us attempting to be gone all day due to the nasty campsite we were in. We returned the second night to make dinner and try to get some sleep to then have to deal with 5-6 racoons in our campsite. We didn't mind them because they were there first and we are invading their space, just very disruptive and hard to sleep.

Next morning we were woke up at about 5:00 am by more rustling around our tent to find a small tan Chihuahua with a blue collar on, again, urinating on our items. We were generally concerned for the animals safety so I went to the main office to let her know the pet was out and our complaint of him urinating on our tent and ice chest and her reply was that he lives in the neighborhood nearby and they let him run lose?! WHAT? So no care that he is out urinating on people's things, he roamed the whole park near our campsite all morning while we packed to leave.

We did speak with Kathy the general manager who said she has never seen or heard of the feral cats?!?! And the dog is out of her control because she has spoke to the owner once before?!?! What a rip off!! Don't waste your money staying here unless you want to spend more money cleaning your peed on items!!!

Bathroom facilities were decently clean, shower had so much hair stuck to the drains it was disgusting! And the women's shower wall had blood on it which it also disgusting!!!!

CAMPERS BEWARE!!!!
