Bass Lake Provincial Park is a recreational park just west of Orillia with year-round day use, seasonal camping, a sandy swimming beach, trails, paddling, and roofed accommodation. Ontario Parks lists the park at 247 hectares, established in 1957.
This is a practical family park for visitors who want a lake campground close to town services. Ontario Parks notes that gas, groceries, convenience stores, restaurants, shopping, and movie theatres are within a five minute drive, with regional attractions within about 30 minutes.
Bass Lake works well for first camping trips, shorter getaways, and travellers who want camping without feeling far from Orillia. Ontario Parks highlights a 2.8 km hiking trail, RV and car camping, group camping, picnic shelters, roofed accommodations, a day-use area, canoes, kayaks, a park store, and a sandy beach on Bass Lake.
The park also has off-season value. Ontario Parks lists a 4 km trail network and park roads for winter snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, hiking, and on-leash dog walking.
