Bass Lake campsite prices – what you need to know

If you’re planning a motorhome trip to Bass Lake, the first thing on your mind is probably the price tag. The good news is that Bass Lake keeps its fees clear and straightforward, so you can budget without guessing. Below you’ll get the most recent price list, what each charge covers, and a few tricks to keep your wallet happy.

What you pay for at Bass Lake

Bass Lake charges per pitch, and the rates change with the season. In low‑season (October to March) a standard pitch for a motorhome up to 7 m costs around £18 per night. Mid‑season (April to June and September) jumps to about £25, while peak summer (July & August) can reach £35. If you have a larger vehicle (over 7 m) or need a powered site, add roughly £5‑£10 extra.

All pitches include access to fresh water, waste disposal, and electricity (up to 13 A). Some sites also offer a dedicated electric hook‑up for 32 A at an additional £3 per night. If you want a more secluded spot near the lake, expect a small premium of £2‑£4.

How to keep the cost down

Booking early is the simplest way to save. Bass Lake releases its calendar three months ahead, and early bird spots are often £3‑£5 cheaper. If your dates are flexible, aim for mid‑week stays – they’re usually lower than weekend nights.

Another tip is to bring your own firewood. The site sells wood at £15 per bag, but a couple of local suppliers can be cheaper. Also, pack a portable solar panel if you plan to stay longer; it reduces the need for the higher‑priced 32 A hook‑up.

Finally, check for package deals. Sometimes Bass Lake bundles a night’s stay with a discounted day‑use pass to the nearby nature trail, saving you a few pounds on separate tickets.

Remember to factor in the tiny extra costs: a £2 vehicle entry charge and a £1 per person waste fee. Those add up if you’re traveling with a family, but they’re still far below hotel prices for the same area.

Overall, Bass Lake offers a clear pricing structure that fits most budgets. By timing your visit, booking early, and using a few money‑saving tricks, you can enjoy the lake’s beauty without breaking the bank.
