We absolutely love how affordable and family friendly Basswood Resort is. They have fun activities everyday for all ages, among there many fishing ponds, swimming pool, playgrounds, dog park, nature trails and so on. We will be making yearly trips here😀
My family and I always have a wonderful time when we stay at Basswood Resort. The staff are all so helpful and kind. The staff go above and beyond to make your stay perfect. The only thing I didn't like was the cabin being covered in ants inside and on the back porch. But that won't stop us from coming back, though. I'll just make sure to bring ant spray next time!
Had an amazing time at the property. Took my family . Five of us got comfortable in the deluxe cabin. My kids loved all the scheduled activities. From gem mining to fishing, and all the activities at the pool; we were a busy family . Loved gathering around the campfire. The country store had everything you could need🔥. All the materials for smores easy to access. The kids are already asking when they can visit again but next time want to rent a golf cart for the light parade. Ty to all the staff that made our family weekend memorable.

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Decent.
The cabin had damaged flooring and the floor, especially in the bathroom, was dirty. Otherwise, cleanliness was good. The shower in the cabin is tiny so easier to use the showers in the bathhouse, which is a nice bathhouse. No yard or view with the cabin which was disappointing. Cabins and RV lots are very close together so little privacy as it's densely packed. The resort did seem like a good place for families with children. Service was very friendly. Location was good for our needs.

Jacuzzi room was very substandard. Not what we were expectjng for the price. Bugs galore..dead and alive. Mushy Dorito chip from some previous guest.Torn, dirty, stained carpet. Worn bedside tables, the single chair was broke down. Plug-ins were loose (not enough for us seniors with Cpaps) and no USB ports. Deadbolt on door didn't even work. No maid service, so ask for more towels. Staff was very understanding, but nothing they could do about it.
We are so excited for the summer season!! We love coming to basswoods! We came thursday and left today sadly! We had so much fun we love swimming, riding the golf carts, and love coming to the activities!! Cant wait to come back and enjoy the wonderful environment super super family friendly and the staff is awesome makes you feel just like apart of the family! Will definitely for years to come!!
Amazing as always someone that’s been going for over 6 years I can see they are improving and adding more, I’ll be excited to see how all final upgrades look.
Fireplace on a patio right outside of our lakeside room. Running fountain in the background. Off season, so it is sooooo quiet! Truly enjoying our stay!

There’s something for everyone! The weekend themes keep families engaged and they have activities for all ages. I love that this campground offers several options for people who don’t own a camper/tent. The cabin option is amazing. We will be back!!
