Question: Would you have any information on Bass Lake California?

Just a quick note to thank you for a great Web site. I have been searching for info on the net for a place called Bass Lake, near Fresno California. Would like any information you might have so we can plan our trip. We have tent trailers and a boat. Love to ski and fish. We have lots of kids and we need a great place for our summer vacation.

Answer:

For camping there's High Sierra RV Park and Campground. Here's local info for Bass Lake businesses. There are a lot of things to see and do in the area, plus more links on my California resources page.

National forests campgrounds (my personal choice, may be a bit more primitive though):

Bass Lake is supposedly only 20 minutes from the south entrance of Yosemite. However, it WILL be crowded in the summer! As a day trip, I'd suggest Sequoia National Park. No crowds, and very scenic!
