    This campground is complete trash. We camped in a cabin Thursday and Friday June 20-21. We were…read moreswimming yesterday and people were smoking marijuana around the poolside and drinking alcohol. This is not a safe campground for children. They do not keep up on maintenance on anything! Nasty shower house and pool house. Our AC unit went out in our cabin and they argued it must have been our fault because "We've been renting out this cabin to other people since May and no one has complained." Front office ladies are extremely rude. They would not honor our coupon upon check in saying they didn't believe it to be a real coupon even though they issued those coupons to us at our last stay due to some inconveniences we incurred. We decided to leave a day early and they would not issue us a refund for the night we didn't stay since "we had already used two of our three coupons upon check in." This campground is not even worth a 1* review! I do not recommend this trashy place.

    The front gate staff was rude and disrespectful. Golf carts rolling through there all hours of the…read moreday and night. They don't have assigned tent sites so people just come in and pitch a tent anywhere. They have permanent residence/snow birds in there so it can look like a trailer/camper park. The game room was a nice hang out for teens but was only opened part of the time. A positive was the bathrooms were cleaned 2 times a day. I will never stay here again.

    Don't pass on this place! It is located right on the river and a little hidden gem in Fulton…read moreCounty. It's quiet, has a nice playground and upgrades in the restrooms but the star of the show is the riverfront. Tippecanoe River is a fantastic river to kayak, swim and fish. You can rent kayaks here too. Disregard the negative review below. Sadly it is a disgruntled seasonal camper whose contract was not renewed. You can see all water testing online and the link is on their Facebook page if you want to check it out.

    This is a condensed version of a much longer review, but I urge anyone considering camping here to…read moreread it in full. I held a seasonal site here for 6 years, and what I've seen--especially in recent years--needs to be shared. At first glance, weekend campers may not notice the issues. If you're only there for a night or two and don't need help from the owners, you might never see the dysfunction that seasonal guests face. But behind the scenes, it's a different story entirely. There are several large red flags that i want to highlight. #1: The Contract Each year, seasonal campers are required to sign an annual agreement filled with clauses that are ethically questionable and potentially not even legal. (I'm happy to share documentation if requested.) The owner operates under a controlling, authoritarian mindset, where you are expected to remain silent and submissive--despite paying a premium to camp there. Voicing a concern (from something as simple as an electrical or environmental issues) risks you being removed from the campground. If you do need help or need to report a serious issue, don't expect any response via phone, text, email, or otherwise. #2: Water & Septic Yes, the other reviews are true. The water STINKS--not like well water or sulfur, but like actual raw sewage. Turning on a faucet in your camper is enough to make you gag. You do not feel comfortable showering or washing your dishes based on the smell alone. IDEM reports show that high levels of e-coli has been detected in campground water samples for at least two years. Yet, campers were never notified. That's public health negligence, and yes, the reports are publicly available on the Indiana Department of Environmental Management's website. As for the septic system, (which is a loosely used term) it is just a series of steel drums buried underground that have been there since the campground opened 50 years ago. No upgrades, no replacements. Just consider that for a moment, especially knowing the river is only about 40 yards away. #3: Invitation-Only Return Policy Your ability to return each year is based on an "invitation-only" policy. This allows the owner to keep campers walking on eggshells, afraid to say anything or stand up for themselves. It's a power trip, and it completely undermines any sense of community or trust. #4: Campground Conditions Maintenance is virtually nonexistent unless done by the seasonals themselves, who take pride in their own sites. The bath house is a disgrace--overflowing toilets, black mold in the corners, and showers in such unsanitary condition that you wouldn't wash your dog in them, let alone yourself or your children. It's teetering on being a public health hazard. Additionally, this campground is listed as "self-serve" meaning there is no camp host, nor anybody on the property if a situation were to arise. It also poses a concern of the safety of your belongings as there is no gate, people are allowed to drive in and out as they please. Final Thoughts I am not a disgruntled camper looking to cause drama. My family was well-liked within the campground community, and we had no issues with our fellow campers. This review is written because people need to know what's really happening at TRR and under the ownership of Sarah Straeter-Tackett and to proceed with caution. I have posted this review on various platforms and it is usually met with a defensive reply full of gaslighting, false claims, or "counter" reviews from her family. In fact every single positive review on this platform is from someone in her family and not anyone who actually camps there. That's the pattern. Take it all with a grain of salt. If you value transparency, safety, and a respectful camping experience--look elsewhere

    I should have known what to expect when I tried calling for 2 weeks to try to make a reservation…read moreand never got an answer (or a call back). Our group decided to camp here anyway. "Meh. I've experienced better," is an adequate description of this place. We only stayed one night, and our experience was just okay. The owners aren't exactly trying to impress anyone with their customer service. (This was definitely exemplified at 3:00am when the owners were trying to repair something outside their RV, pounding away with their truck lights shining directly into our campsite, talking extremely loud with each other. And when we had to track the guys down to get a site. And when the owner never came back to deliver firewood like he said he would.) The bathrooms could have been worse (we didn't shower or anything) - they're what we expected for a campground. There were port-o-potty's at the campground and the beach which were actually really clean. It's really unfortunate this place isn't being taken care of better. The beach used to be very well taken care of - the care they put into the beach is minimal. Grass/weeds/bushes are overgrown. There's not a restaurant/ice cream shop there any longer. The sites are not private at all. Fire rings and picnic tables are falling apart. If it rains, there are puddles everywhere (we got caught in the rain). Most sites did have water and electric, however, which was convenient. Their website says they rent pontoons, but when we asked about it the owner told us it was "in the shop". He said he'd call over the marina and "take care of us", but we never heard back from him. Not surprising. We had a good time because we were with friends, and really, I think that's the only thing that made us not completely dislike the place. I have been coming to Bass Lake for 27 years, and I remember a time when this campground was a really place. It's a shame to see they're not putting a little bit more TLC into this place to make it what it could be!
