“Camping in the woods in an RV...ace”

Reviewed 11 May 2013

This campground is fabulous, its set within pine woods, each camper has an allocated spot, youre not over crowded and over looked by a huge amount of other campers. We got a fire pit and a picnic table, and a great view through the trees to Bass Lake. We were only booked here for one night, on a stop over... More

“Clean, relaxing cabin”

Reviewed 13 September 2012

This family owned resort provided a very relaxing stay in the mountains. Clean cabin, with everything we needed. The staff was very helpful and pleasant, and even had tips for fishing spots! Bass lake itself is better for boating/skiing than fishing though. Only problem was the very appetizing smell of the restaurant made us want to eat there more often... More

“Great getaway!”

Reviewed 25 May 2012

We used to tent camp with the family at the Forks campground, but decided to rent a cabin this time just for the 2 of us. We were pleasantly surprised at how clean and well stocked the cabin was. We stayed in a one bedroom suite with living room, kitchen, bathroom, all fully stocked with amenities. Kitchen had refrigerator, stove,... More

“Cabin Exceeded my Expectations!”

Reviewed 3 August 2010

Booking: Staff was very nice and accommodating! The start of our Bass Lake 2010 Summer Vacation started with a voicemail left on New Years Eve 12/31/09 for a July 2010 stay. I wanted to book 6 cabins for a week in July. I received a callback in a day or so and my "spot in line" was secured. Payment: $200... More

“Restaurant: Burger vs. Service”

Reviewed 15 July 2010

We've eaten at the Forks restaurant many times, and while the burgers are great, the service is definately lacking. We were there over 4th of July, and we were a big group. However, one person in our group has a very serious milk allergy (his food can't even be cooked near/on anything with milk), and in the past we've brought... More

“Best Burger in the Mountains”

Reviewed 5 August 2009

This is the local favorite for old diner style burgers. I could eat these things every day. I like to get mine with the onions grilled. You better be hungry if you order the double. This is a local favorite and will be busy around dinner time, but it's worth the wait. When we don't want to wait we get... More
