Lost Pines — Hotel in Bass Lake

I made reservations at lost Pines for my RV for four nights. I had never been in the area and I had to rely on the website. On the website it looks like a very nice place to camp when in reality it is a dump. Everything is old and moldy. Let’s say it has seen it better days. It is very tired. The site I was placed on was directly near a cabin and consisted of dirt everywhere. Not even a picnic table. A broken fire ring, and some old metal object that had been sitting there for years. Quite the ugly site. I had arrived late when the owner was not there And I was busy the next day as I was helping my son get settled at his new place at Culver Academy. I called the campground to tell them that I was not satisfied with my site and that I was expecting a different experience from what was reality. The young lady at the front office was very kind and said that she would call the owner to see if she would reimburse me. I told her that I would pay for two nights since I wouldn’t be able to pull my camper off the site until after 6 PM and thought it was only fair. She called me back and told me that I would be reimbursed and I thanked her. Well, it was 5:20 in the afternoon and I was on my way back from South Bend with my son after searching for some furniture and the owner herself called me and very nastily told me if I wanted my refund I needed to get my camper offsite . I told her I would be there after 6 o’clock like I told the girl at the office and she said well you better hurry up. Remember now, I had told the girl at the office that I would pay for two nights so legally that spot was mine until the following morning until the 10 AM checkout time and this owner was forcing me out a day ahead of time. I figured OK maybe she’s going to reimburse me three nights instead of two nights? Well, I looked at my credit card bill and she only reimbursed me two nights. I’m not complaining about that as I told the girl in the office that I would pay for two nights, but what I am angry about is her attitude towards me to get my camper off her campsite the night that I had actually paid her in full. I never met this woman, but she seems like a nasty person just like...

Awesome place, close to Chicago, perfect spot for a weekend getaway. Clean, reasonable sized pool. The Lady Owner is very friendly and helpful, same as Mr Husband 😀 The resort is quite big, located in the woods. Option for rental golf carts. The cabin was clean and well equipped. Close distance to the public beach (although the beach is quite small, but water in the lake is warm and shallow so good for the kids. There is also some playground stuff installed. Grocery and liquor store within 15 min drive. We forgot to take our small travel grill but the Owners helped us with it. But don't forget yours! :) That's my second stay and we will be coming back.

Thank you! 👍 Sylwia

PS. I just read some complaints about loud music. The night we were staying there was a karaoke going on. Our cabin was pretty close but my 86yo Grandma was able to sleep and did not have any complaints at all. Kids all ages are having the blast I'd say, hanging out together, even after dark. I saw it myself and even envied a little, for sure they have fun wandering around in the dark. Very adventurous and memorable 😁 of course you gotta be careful because you don't know another people staying in the next cabin or RV. But that's common sense. The campground feels safe, good place for both, families with kids or just to party. Room for everyone. Thank...

My friend and I went to the buffet yesterday afternoon around 3 p.m .. the food on the buffet was lukewarm and that is a health problem since my friend use to be in the restaurant business !!! .. bacteria grows if food is not kept at a certain temperature ... the pot roast was as tough as shoe leather and lukewarm , the ribs were over cooked , tough and lukewarm . the Polish sausage was floating in water that was lukewarm ... the ham was over cooked, dry and lukewarm and the rest of the items on the buffet were awful tasting and lukewarm . The dessert table had 4 or 5 items and none of it was worth eating either ... . The waitress not once came to our table to ask about the food .. she only came to remove our plates ( of uneaten food ) when we were at the buffet trying to find something that was edible .. we eventually walked out .. We weren't going to pay for food that wasn't worthy for human consumption ! My friend is calling the health department today to put in a complaint .. that's how bad it was . P.S we were the only ones eating there except for 1 man that came in for an ice cream cone .. that should of been a warning signal right there for us . For your own safety ... stay away from their...
