We’ve stayed here a lot when my brother had his camper and this was our first time staying in a Deluxe cozy cabin. Very nice and clean. When we arrived the a/c was on and felt amazing on these hot days! Staff was very friendly and helpful with anything we needed! Very clean resort! We floated on a Tuesday which was so relaxing and peaceful!! We will definitely be booking again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We stayed in Cozy Deluxe Cabin C. It was EXTREMELY clean and well-designed. I recommend adding the linen service to your booking so you don't have to deal with packing sheets and towels. We had great interactions with all the staff. Our float was super fun. I like that it's such a quick (about 1.75 hrs) drive from south city St. Louis. I also loved that I was able to rent a golf cart, which we didn't need but was just fun.

We camped here with our camper. Our campsite was what I would call typical with some gravel and grass. Sites are not roomy at all from side to side as we were pretty much on top of the other campers but we camped with a few other people and we butted up to the corral area and had great space behind our sites we shared. The river is nice although not very deep for older kids. The campsites were clean and the staff were friendly. My reason for giving it a lower rating is the price. We paid 300$ for four people to camp for three nights. That’s pretty high. We were also upset to find out once we arrived that the pool is not complimentary to the campers. You have to pay extra to use the pool. It is an amenity only for cabins. My sister asked why the high fees for staying if things like the pool weren’t included and they said all of our other amenities. We asked like the creek? I didn’t know of anything else that was “free”. We had to pay an extra 150$ on top of our campsite fee for our two kids who they charged us adult prices as their age is over 12. Just feel like for the prices you shouldn’t have other charges on top of that for amenities.

We stayed the weekend here when we went to The Fugitive beach (it's an hour away). We rented the cozy cabins and it was cozy for sure. The rooms were clean and air conditioned. No linens are provided. You need to bring your own towels and don't forget hand soap, we did. There is a sink and a 2 burner stove. They have a picnic table and small grill but bring your own if you can. They have horse back riding, canoe trips and a small store, it's expensive. We paid $30.00 for some lunch meat and cheese. This is to be expected in a resort. All in all we had a good time and the beds weren't bad. We weren't there to sleep anyway.

It was a pretty good time there. When I initially reserved the cabin, I stayed in cozy cabin additional people were supposed to come. They were unable to come but the staff at Bass Rivers resort were able to give me a credit. That's pretty cool of them
