Starke County Park Board Advised of Bass Lake Campground Opening Date

Camping season is upon us!

The gates to the Bass Lake Campground are scheduled to open Saturday, April 1st, but with a warning to campers that water utilities will not be turned on until around the first of May.

While the internet and electricity amenities are set up and ready to go, the pump house bladder tank needs to be replaced. The bladder tank still falls under warranty but costs for labor may be accrued.

Additionally, the Starke County Park Board was also approved for $3,000 of a $6,000 grant. The funds will be used to purchase some new grills and trash receptacles at the beach.

A new lift station has been ordered for Bass Lake in the sum of $18,000. The installation of the new lift will be dependent on when the water is available for use.
