Comment

Bass Campground Lake Casitas is located just inside the recreation areas maine gate.  The campground is open all year with 61 RV and tent sites.  Approximately half of the camp spots have electric and water connections.  Sewer connections and cable TV are not available.  Most camp spots are large and level.  Some spots have shade trees.  RV's to approximately 50 feet can be accommodated.  The campground is in a good location for accessing the entire park.  The Water Adventures water park is just across from this campground.  A short distance away is the cafe and bait store.  The parks camp store is approximately one mile from this campground.  There are two RV dump stations in the park and one is close to this campground.  This campground is better suited to RV's than tenting but, both can be accommodated.  This campground just has a small restroom without showers however, across from the campground near the entrance can be found a large shower house.  If you are towing a boat, this would also be a good campground.  Most spots had room for boat and RV.  The campground is approximately one mile from the marina and lake.  Lake Casitas is drinking water so human and animal contact is not allowed.
