Beymer Water Recreation Park

SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Beymer Water Recreation Park sits about two miles outside Lakin, a county-managed stop along U.S. Highway 50 near the Colorado border that costs $10 per night or less. The layout consists of four pairs of sites on flat, sandy ground with some grass, each pair sharing a 30-amp electric pedestal and a covered picnic shelter. Campers with GPS should note that satellite view tends to work better than turn-by-turn navigation for finding the correct entrance. There is no dump station on site.

The terrain here is genuinely flat in all directions, which means no elevated views or tree cover to speak of. Highway noise is minimal at the sites, and the park tends to draw few other campers at a time. A small pond sits nearby, though fishing requires a membership. Some reviewers note the bathrooms are functional but not consistently well-maintained, and at least a few electric outlets have been reported as non-working, so testing power before unloading is worth the extra minute.

Water hookups are listed as available but are turned off seasonally, typically by late fall. Electric hookups are 30-amp only, with no 50-amp service confirmed by multiple visitors. Cell coverage with Verizon has been reported at a solid four bars of 4G LTE. Deerfield Beach Campground lies roughly eight miles northeast for campers who want a different setup in the area. Beymer suits RVers and road-trippers looking for a low-cost overnight with basic hookups on a straightforward route through western Kansas.

A budget-friendly park at $10/night with level sites and basic hookups that many found ideal for overnight stops. Several visitors noted the quiet atmosphere and good value, though facilities are basic and water is seasonal.

Honor system $10/night. Electric and water, brick bathroom.

Overall it's great. I've been here before a couple of years ago. Of of highway 50 just across the Colorado border. BE SURE TO TEST POWER BEFORE UNLOADING. Some outlets don't work. Water seems reasonable. I recommend the pavilion but all she's are smooth, level and well maintained.

Easy yet secluded

It’s flat, easy to get to.. bathrooms are just okay. Not the cleanest, but it’s something. Each spot has water and electric. Plus a covered shelter with picnic tables. For $10 can’t beat it

Cheap water & electric sites

Close to a small town. Cheap ($10/night for 30 amp & water). Great to recharge the batteries. Small playground, a bit run down. Quiet with few people. Small pond & mulberry trees.

Plain and simple flat chunk of dirt, cheap. With electric!

Evrything in the other reviews is accurate except for the water. That review was in August. I am here now in very late November. The water is turned off. But electricity and a flat spot of dirt for 10 bucks is a great deal. The only downside is there is really no view. The land is flat in all directions. There are three ponds in the area which are marked membership only. It looks like they are very low, One is dry. There are four pairs of flat campsites on sandy dirt and a little grass. Each pair share an electric pedestal with 2 30 W outlets. Likewise each pair of sites share a pair of picnic tables under a weather shelter. Outside of town. You can hardly hear the highway

Good for a stop over

We stopped on the way home to Colorado. It's cheap, level and has 30 amp power and water. Cell coverage is a solid 4bar 4g LTE with Verizon.

For $10 bucks it works. We came through in November and the water was turned off. It has a bathroom but we didn't use it so I can't report on its condition. The park was clean.

Quiet and empty

Quiet spot, 2 miles out of town. Little highway noise, for $10 with electric and water, it’s perfect! Good sunset view, small pond ( requires membership to fish) lots of birds around.

Great overnight stay

Nice quiet place with covered picnic tables (a bit weathered) , pretty level grassy spots. ~8 - 30 amp (no 50 amp) w water... and some more primitive camp spots as well. We were the only ones there so it was a great stop for $10! Stayed May 2021 - was dry when we arrived, rained that night - no problems leaving. We went in the entrance off the main road and had to weave around to the site but believe there is an entrance off the dirt road right before the park.. (refer to a satellite view vs GPS)

Great water sport stop.

If you play on the water, then this might just work for you. There were no water hook ups. There is power available but every site is shared so no privacy. They are under trees so shade was good. Sites are unimproved and very soft when wet. Folks are generally nice.

Very minimal.

In the middle of seemingly no where... Great one night stop. A few electronic & water hook ups. No dump station that I've found. Dogs should be on leash, but no one here and no one to bother.
