Bass Lake Provincial Park

Very nice place for camping in summer. The bathrooms are everywhere but they’re very dirty usually. The lake is very nice!

Perfect park for some downtime! Beautiful sunsets, hiking trails and great for swimming, canoeing etc

Actually quite a nice little park with good privacy, roomy campsites, good tree coverage, and some room to cycle plus a small beach. Nice find so close to the city.

We had been there for one night.everything was fine and also the washroom was about 2 min walking and very clean.

This was the very first place I took my oldest daughter camping. Just drove until we were tired. It was just the two of us we had a blast everybody was helpful and friendly want to go back one day with my other kids. One of the best camping trip I have every done

Nice campground but I have a few issues with it. 1. Why fies water tap near campground shoot water out straight? 2. Where the heck do I wash dishes? And 3. Holy mother.why is the camp store sooo bad? There is literally nothing in it!

Small lake with lovely hilly and tree lined view on the other side. With a provincial park with beach as well, it's not over run with cottages.
There is not too much boat traffic so it's great for paddling boating the whole lake. But it is very shallow so it can get choppy out in the middle.

A great campground but we never even saw a fish, let alone catch any. If you don't care about fishing, this is a great place!

A great Park for a quick getaway from the GTA area. Stayed at the Hilltop campsite. Comfort station was a little outdated and smaller toilets around the campsite were not the greatest. No Pets were allowed on the Beach, had to Drive to get there and it was small. There was a fair size playground for kids by the Beach that was nice. The Pet excersice area was tiny and next to the Boat Launch. They had lots of picnic áreas for day use.

They will force you to buy their rotting wood for 7$ a bag. People leaving food everywhere has brought in skunks and many raccoons. Not to mention the bathrooms/showers are falling apart and completely disgusting. Just camp somewhere else

Nice treed sites. There is a dog exercise area by the water. The beach is nice.

There are some old abandoned structures on site that are cool to explore.

Lots of small trails. All in all a pleasant place to camp.

We would definitely go again.

Beautiful park close to everything. Peaceful environment. Big and well distributed campgrounds. Well maintained.

Great camping location, we have been to this park more times than any other Ontario provincial park.

Love Bass Lake Provincial Park. Quite a few sites with privacy. Washrooms and vault toilets were kept extremely clean. Great playground at the beach area. Beach was kept clean. Will camp there again!

Excellent location for some outdoor fun. Great play area for the kids, lovely sand patch for sunbathers, nice, clean washroom! I loved it there!

All the facilities are kept clean. A total of eight showers in the whole park so choose your time wisely. Plenty of flushable washrooms. Garbage and recycling and propane cylinder recycling available. Water fill and dumping station for RVs. Lovely beach with climber for children. Three picnic pavilions. Boat launch and nature trails. Summertime or annual day passes are on special 2 years for the price of one. $84 or $114 respectively- offered this year only (2021) because of covid.

Great sites for our families and nice biking "the loop" as the kids call it. We've come back and will continue to come back!

If you leave early, make sure you have BOTH of your permits, otherwise there will be NO REFUND. Of course nobody tells you that when you check-in.

Really nice beach…. Feels like a private beach less people during working days and it’s free when you go in between Monday to Friday

Nice park. Went camping for a week. A bit small though. Waters pretty clean, but beach there is also a bit small. Although very close to city and necessities which was convenient.

The park has nothing basically. Just a small beach area for swimming and a picnic area. It is very difficult to walk around as there are no trail. Plus you have to pay $15.50 for entering the park.

Nice large private camp sites but camp sites near the highway are a bit noisy at night. Great sand beach with clear water.

Loved the place. Not too crowded. Water was clear and there were enough benches nearby and enough sand area I dont mind skipping beach for this. The place is clean.

As tip for people who do not want to pay on map you can see an area of the lake closer to the road you can park there and enjoy a nice dip in the lake as well. Well you might miss out on the sandy area but you are not paying $15 as park fee to swim in this lake.

Being a non reservation park after driving for 2 hrs, hoping if v go late there wld be people leaving enabling more visitors and opportunity to enjoy the day - was a fireback. Had to return after reaching at 330pm as park was full.
When reservation is not permitted it wld be better if there's a time limit for visitors, so all can enjoy the park, given the lifestyle we need to embrace.

Very nice park, water was warm and clean, good for paddle boarding, canoing and swimming. Very friendly and helpful staff

Great park not too far from the city. Nice lake and beach. We come here often when we want a short vacation. It's easy camping with all the amenities of a big city minutes away. It's not the deep woods camping experience but a well kept clean park and really good swimming and also has canoe rentals.

Fantastic park, enjoyable time had there with family and friends. Respectful campers, never to noisy or overcrowded. Staff fantastic, facilities in great condition.

Don’t waste your money here! The sand on the beach was full of broken glass from broken beer bottles. I spent the weekend there with my kids and it was such a stressful weekend; their facilities were also dirty and not up-kept to any standards.

We had family photos taken there, it made for an amazing backdrop. We plan on camping there next season.

Did not stop here. Just drive past on the 15th sideroad. Too close to town for us to want to stop and too many homes right beside.

Great smaller lake to swim. Water warms up quicker in the season due to the smaller body of water. Bass lake provincial park is a great park to camp at with all the amenities needed.anything you forgot, Orillia is 5 minutes away.

Cute park just outside of Orillia. Well maintained and very clean. Bass Lake is busy with boaters and cottagers and the park is close to a road so it's not perfectly serene quiet but peaceful enough. Cedar campground has big open campsites.

Nice campground ; would be 5 stars if it was a bit cleaner.litter is a real problem throughout, and in particular the beach areas.

Nice park. Great scenery, very hilly. Getting to the beach is difficult by foot with children. Must walk on narrow roadways with loads of blind hills. Park store is bare basics, but the city is 10 mins away if you need anything. Sites range from secluded to open wide. Running water bathrooms are available, out house pit style is also an option. 5 min walk from the beach to the closet washroom? Canoe, paddle boat, kayak rentals available. Fishing is difficult from shore by boat is great.

People drive to fast some don't some do all park ragers do is give out tickets for no hamelt to people but do not tell people too slow down. But park is asum all the same

It’s close to the city, but not great. We camped next to the main road into the camp ground and the beach was driving distance away. Beach was small and camp sites were NOT very flat.

Great park, close and easy to get to from Barrie. Very well maintained and park and beach were excellent for the kids! Walking paths and facilities were good. Washrooms could use a light indoors at night but otherwise great sites. Lots of space, doesn't feel too cramped

Lovely lake. Did a late day trip from Barrie (4pm-8pm) had fun canoeing, fishing (not a bite) and BBQ on the beach. Nice to know there's a peaceful lake like this so close to home.

Awesome place for having a picnic with your family and friends. The lake is also very good for fishing as there are nice big basses here and many other fish.

Lots of bugs, camp sites are nothing but dirt, and after labour day nothing is open in park including office/store. A very quiet park. But the lake view is nice.

Beautiful area. And the water was so warm. It was a fantastic weekend and the people are friendly. A little strict with certain things involving vehicles but otherwise had a great time staying for the long weekend. The showers were nice and the bathrooms were decent. For a campground.

Love this little park, great beach, big spots for tenting or trailers and very quiet. Highly recommended.

I have been camping here for a long time. Now I get to take my kids here.
Lot's of stuff to do with the kids here and in town. Nice trails and parks. Boat rentals.
I won't share my favorite sites, but if you take a stroll through you can see what sites are really nice. The online pictures only do so much.
