BACK TO BASSIX

Wow, this year marks a decade of Back to Bassix!!!  What a wild ride it has been, and we're eternally grateful for all of the amazing people that have helped build this event into what it's become over the last 10 years.  We started this crazy tradition with humble beginnings back in 2014 with the primary intention of creating the ultimate summer party.  The event has evolved and matured over the years, but the "Bassix", or our core principals of what makes summertime fun, have still essentially remained the same.   In its simplest form, this consists of camping and sunshine with good friends and family, swimming and boating at the lake, blasting beats and epic tunes through a ridiculous and unnecessary sound system, and possibly shotgunning a beer or two, who's to say ;)

...And just for fun, I was able to dig up the origional promo graphic from when the name "Back to Bassix" was coined.  A few of the core crew had gone on a scouting mission to scope out the first location of where the event would take place and determine some logistics.  We were discussing potential names for the event, and when this was written across the back window of my dust covered Subaru, the name was solidified forever...

RSVP!

If you'll be able to make it, please please please RSVP ahead of time and reserve your campsite.  This helps us to stay organized, approximate headcount, and also ensures that you'll have a prime camping location set aside you and your group regardless of when you plan to arrive.  Each campsite can accommodate 1 tent and ~ 2 - 5 people, and also includes a parking spot and full use of the rest of the campground (restrooms, running water, etc).  The cost per campsite is $20 for one night or $40 for 2 or more nights, and payments can be sent via Venmo to Garrett-McGrath-1.  Once your payment has been received, your reservation will be confirmed.

Its of course always ok to wing it and make a game time decision about coming, just please understand that accommodations will be more limited and available on a first come first served basis.  

Back to Bassix takes place at a large group campsite in the forests of Shasta-Trinity.

With a spacious campsite in the forest of Shasta-Trinity made for ~50 people, all are invited to Back to Bassix. The site is fully equiped with numerous picnic tables, tent areas, bear boxes, campfire pits, and bathrooms.

We’re open to any and all requests and want to make sure there is something for everyone!

• Boats: We will rent a ski boat this year on Friday 7/21 from 12:00 - 4:00pm and load it up with a portable sound system to take the party to the water. We can look into renting additional boats if there is high demand. ⚓️

Getting there

What to bring:

The joke is: just the basics. But we hardly bring the basics. Sound is covered. We'll have a camping stoves you can use. Let us know if you need a tent—we have an extra.

• But bring a tent.

• There are bear lockers for food

• Bring a headlamp ✅

• Floaties—there’s a place to swim 🏊‍♀️

• We have a solar shower if you want to use it

• We have a generator so if you need to charge things, we can plug them in

• Firewood and coals if you want to cook at your own grill pit.

• Bring your own food and something to contribute to the weekend if you'd like 🤗

• Bring whatever your you’d like to drink for the weekend 🍺🥂🍸🥃🍹🍷🥛🥤

  • Please avoid glass bottles.  Glass beer bottles present breaking hazard (most people have bare feet or sandals), and also create excessive waste.  Liquor bottles are OK, just be careful.

• Camp chairs if you’ve got ’em

• Sunscreen ☀️

Get involved!

We strive each year to make sure that Back to Bassix is as epic as possible for everyone. Contribution and participation are always welcome, and if you'd like to get more involved in our community, here are a few simple ideas you might consider:

• Arrive early and help with set up crew (Wed/Thurs), or stay and help with teardown crew (Sun)

• Keep in mind your fellow party goers while packing for your trip.  Stocking up on extra food, booze, water, floaties, games, or anything that would make it more of a party.  Feel free to be creative here too!  Anything that would surprise and delight would always be greatly appreciated

• Own a meal or a snack.  Although there are no formal food responsibilities, we've had groups in the past step up to provide a meal/snack/round of drinks for the camp.  No obligations here whatsoever, but if cooking is your thing please feel free to go for it!

• We make an extra effort to recycle cardboard and aluminum cans.  Since there is no onsite recycling disposal, this all gets hauled out at the end of the weekend.  If you have extra room in your vehicle to make sure that a recycle bag makes it to a propper facility, we and the planet both salute you!

This event would not be possible without the dedication, hard work, and generosity from all of the amazing people involved.  Let's continue to grow our community and make 2023 a year to remember!
