Bass Lake Resort

RV Park

Overview

Overview

Bass Lake Resort in Parish, New York offers travelers a quintessential Central New York outdoor setting defined by its namesake water feature and regional woodlands. This destination attracts RVers looking to base themselves within driving distance of Lake Ontario while enjoying a quieter inland lake atmosphere. The layout and environment reflect the rural character of Oswego County, providing a natural backdrop for campers navigating the region.

Location & Surroundings

Situated in the town of Parish, this property sits just east of Syracuse and south of Lake Ontario within a transitional zone of rolling hills and dense forests. Arrival typically involves taking Interstate 81, which runs north-south through the county, or local state routes that wind through rural farmland and timberland. The local climate brings warm summers ideal for water activities and crisp autumns featuring notable foliage changes across the Tug Hill Plateau region.

Amenities & Park Features

Because specific on-site infrastructure details such as electrical hookups, water pressure, and site dimensions are not universally standardized here, travelers should contact the park directly before arrival. Inquire about key operational specifics to ensure a smooth stay:

  • Confirm maximum RV length accommodations and pull-through availability
  • Ask about exact utility configurations (30-amp vs. 50-amp service)
  • Verify seasonal operating dates and waterfront site access

Nearby Attractions & Things to Do

The surrounding region provides numerous day-trip opportunities centered on outdoor recreation and local history. Anglers can access world-class fishing along the nearby Salmon River in Pulaski, renowned for its migratory salmon and trout runs. Boaters and beachgoers often head northwest to the shores of Lake Ontario or explore the trails and waterways within state reforestation areas scattered throughout the county.

Who This Park Is Best For

This location suits road-trippers, anglers, and nature enthusiasts seeking a base camp close to Upstate New York waterways rather than an urban-adjacent resort. Campers who appreciate rural landscapes, proximity to the Salmon River, and easy access off Interstate 81 will find the setting well-positioned for exploring Oswego County and the southern edges of the Adirondack foothills.

I love going out here. Mini golf and a activity room for kids. Beautiful lake for fishing. If u have off road vehicle there a trail right next to them. Always a go time at Bass Lake.

We “won” a 3-day, 2-night stay, which was nothing more than a pathetic sales trap. The entire pitch was them begging us to drop $17,500 on a “membership” that gives you… absolutely nothing worth having. You still have to pay $200 a night to stay in their crappy little cabins with AC units that belong in a junkyard, eat in a restaurant that smells like sewage, and maybe take a dip in their disgusting “heated pool” that looks more like a swamp than a place for people. The funniest part? They kept bragging that they’re “better than public camping sites.” Oh please. At least public campgrounds don’t try to scam you out of $17k while offering the same (or actually better) experience. Here, you get no security (the gate is literally lifted by hand like a cheap carnival ride), no background checks on members (so you never know what kind of creep you’re next to), and “amenities” that are nothing but sad jokes. So congratulations to this place — they’ve managed to create the world’s most overpriced, trashy campground. Public sites are cheaper, safer, and cleaner. These people are basically asking you to light $17,000 on fire for the privilege of being ripped off. What a scam. What a joke

We were givin a free weekend with our new camper and little did we know it is a time share resort.. they'll tell you it's not but it's a lie. They tried to sell as a $15k time share and I was upset. We came to camp as a family for the first time and they ruined a whole day of much needed family time. The showers are awful and the sites are packed in like no other camp site. Beware!!!!!!

Before we arrived I read many reviews saying that this place was run down and the people were miserable. This was NOT the case for us. The employees were very friendly and the campground itself was well kept and the perfect amount of children laughing and quiet. Any dogs barking were at a minimum and not at all bothering. Kids playing on the playground and at the pool we're not overly loud. Maybe I got lucky but I have nothing negative to say about the place. We did a 1 hour tour where they do try to sell you a "membership" that was a bit expensive but to others it might be a good deal. When we broke down the numbers and told them it wasn't for us they were not mad about it like many reviews stated. They basically told us "it's not for everyone and we hope you enjoy your stay". The negative reviews had me on edge about this place but after coming here I realized they were either way off or that was an off chance that something bad happened. We've been very happy with all aspects of this place so far.

★☆☆☆☆ Disappointing Stay – Would Not Recommend We had high hopes for this campground, but unfortunately, our experience was far from enjoyable. • Roads: The roads are full of potholes, making it unpleasant (and a bit risky) to drive through. • Cleanliness: Goose droppings are everywhere, making it hard to walk around without stepping in it. • Facilities: Of the 4 washers in the laundry room, only 2 worked. One of the three showers was out of order. • Amenities: The miniature golf course is in terrible shape, and the outside deck is caving in, making it completely unusable. • Atmosphere: Campsites are crammed together like sardines, with little privacy. We also had barking dogs after 10 pm and encountered several rude people during our stay. Overall, this campground feels run-down and poorly maintained. We will not be returning, and I’d suggest looking elsewhere for a cleaner, friendlier, and better-kept place to camp.
