Beach camping near Bass Lake guide

Overview

At the edge of the Sierra Nevada mountains, Bass Lake offers stunning views of the water and nearby Sierra National Forest. Snag a beach campsite on the shores of Bass Lake, where tent camping with showers offers a comfortable outdoor escape. Beachfront cabins are also available with fully equipped kitchens for an even cozier stay, and options for multiple bedrooms make it easy to accommodate groups. Then, take a summer swim in warm lake waters, or peruse pine forest shorelines by kayak or pedal boat. Rainbow trout, Kokanee salmon, and bass call this lake home—anglers with a California fishing license are welcome to set up their pole. Find further tent and RV camping options in the area that offer access to beachfronts at rivers and smaller lakes for a more private retreat. Bass Lake’s mountain proximity can make for chilly winters, so pack snow gear between November and March. Make sure to book early for holiday weekends.
