The best cabin rentals near Bass Lake, California with hot tubs

About an hour from Fresno in the Sierra National Forest, Bass Lake attracts boating and water skiing enthusiasts with its reservoir, often touted as a mini Lake Tahoe. While nearby Oakhurst up the road has a wider selection of amenities, Bass Lake offers plenty for campers wanting to be close to Yosemite National Park, including boat and water sports rentals, RV resorts, and tons of campgrounds for tent camping. The town is set on the northern shores of the lake—for a quieter alternative, consider the US Forest Service’s Lupine Campground, offering campsites with fire rings, plus picnic areas and restrooms with flush toilets.

1. Mountain Dimension

14mi from Bass Lake · 1 site · Lodging

Mountain Dimension is your own little escape in the forest, perfect for those visiting Yosemite National Park (14 miles away). The trees outside your window evoke treehouse vibes, and the wood-paneled siding, wood-burning fireplace, antler chandeliers, and live-edge furniture will give you all the cabin feels. Take a dip in the hot tub (minimum $150 add-on fee, with an additional charge for stays over 3 days), relax in the hammock, or do some grilling on the large two-story deck. Families of wild turkeys and deer are often spotted.

Weekend Trip to Big Table Ranch

Our stay at the Big Table Ranch Guest House was wonderful! The hosts responded quickly to our questions and the home and surrounding property are absolutely beautiful and relaxing. We wish we could have stayed longer! We are looking forward to staying at Big Table Ranch again soon!

The best cabins near Bass Lake with hot tubs guide

Where to go

West of Bass Lake

While the expanse between Bass Lake and the California coast has its fair share of towns and farmland, there are also plenty of natural areas and parks to explore. Spots worth considering along this route include San Luis National Wildlife Refuge, Pacheco State Park, and Henry W. Coe State Park.

Sequoia National Forest

Head south and you'll hit Sequoia National Forest, where you'll find everything from scenic waterways to colorful high mountain scenery. Backpackers may want to also consider a trip out to the Jennie Lakes Wilderness, with its thick forest interspersed with Alpine meadows.

Stanislaus National Forest

North of Bass Lake, the massive Stanislaus National Forest is a great place to continue water adventures, with a wide variety of lakes and rivers. Hiking and camping opportunities also abound in this wooded area.

When to go

Bass Lake is definitely a summer destination, though many area campgrounds are open year-round. Summers can get hot, with daytime temperatures sometimes rising to the upper 90s, while nights are pleasantly warm, with temperatures in the 60s. The spring and fall shoulder seasons are ideal if you want fewer crowds, with pleasantly warm temperatures in May and September. Late fall through winter gets plenty of rain, and snow is not uncommon.
