Do not go camping here this year!!!! The TICKS are REALLY REALLY BAD. I’ve been camping here for 45 years and have never experienced anything like it. Within half an hour of getting there we saw a lone star tick on the picnic table and one in our tent. Over the course of the two days my family pulled at least 30 deer ticks off of them And we woman and girls were wearing leggings, high socks and closed shoes. The guys were in sweats. Yes, we were hot, but we had no choice. Even the four little kids wore leggings. There was nothing normal about this number of ticks. I’d call it a tick infestation! Once we got home, I found five more ticks on my husband and he found two on me. I spoke to the campground office and told them what we had experienced. They said, yes, there were a lot of ticks. The one woman found a tick yesterday on her stomach from just sitting outside the door of the office while she ate lunch. I suggested they post a warning on their website. She agreed it was a good idea. If I was in charge, I’d close it down. It’s so unhealthy. I spoke to a couple of other campers to see if they were experiencing the same problem. They were. One guy was using 100% Deet and it wasn’t working. Such a shame, because we love Bass River. Won’t be back for a long time, if ever.

Made reservations and went, nice trails. Lord of campers but quiet and private. Bathrooms were clean. Beautiful a lake Absegami. It was very windy so host said no fires.
