California Land Management sponsors a variety of interpretive programs throughout the summer at several locations in the Bass Lake area. Facilities This group campground has 7 sites that can accommodate between 12 to 30 people each. Each site has grills, fire rings and tables. Portable toilets are provided, but campers must bring drinking water.
