"We have two small kids and were with family (in adjacent D4) so we really hoped for a site with flat space for the kids to play in, but there was absolutely no grassy area."

"Great campground with beautiful nearby walking trails. A short drive to the observatory and bison prairie. We would go for a lake view site next time."
"And, after driving through the entire campground the next day, we decided it was the best site in the whole park for our size rig!"
ScoutWell kept, no sewer hookup on sites, bath house clean, electric far from pads - bring extension cord
ScoutThis is one of the best spots I’ve found on this app. I had one other person show up to cook, but they left shortly after. Beautiful view with a nice fire pit, I was able to swim and had a great night to myself!
TravelerWe will definitely be coming back to Bee Springs! This was our maiden voyage in our new pull behind. We frequent Kentucky Lake and have stayed at other locations near by but this is our new favorite. Nice tree shaded sites, great lake view, ice vending and convenient boat ramp and dock. Shower house is a basic camp site shower house but the stalls are spacious. Also the owner George is amazing!
GuideBe sure to make sure you set the correct location into GPS. We ended up at the wrong location at first try.
ScoutLots of space would stay again
LegendSite 64 was a bit difficult to back into but very level once you get in. I think it has some of the best views in the campground. Lots of other campers had their boats moored along the shoreline, they were camping across the street in the shade. I had fun paddle boarding with the little dog in the inlet right off this campsite. This is a large campground with lots of activities, but I didn’t do any. We stayed right at the campsite. Land between the lakes it’s a beautiful historic area to explore as well. We did not use the bathroom since they were not close to our site, so I can’t comment on that.
LegendStayed in site 64 which had great views. Pad was level but a little difficult to back into because of one small tree. Not much shade on this site and it can get HOT! Did not use the bathrooms as they weren’t very close. So I can’t comment on that. I had a fun time paddle boarding in the little inlet right off this campsite. Lots of other campers had their boats moored along the shoreline. They were staying across the street. All in all I would say this is a nice campground and I would come back. There seem to be lots of amenities for the kiddos. Also, land between the lakes is a beautiful historic place to explore and this would be a good base camp for that.
LegendUnique campground in that it is on a former golf course. Has the old golf cart paths as walking/biking paths! The sites are spacious and have picnic tables and fire rings. Full hookups is a plus. Super convenient to 24 but not too close that it is loud. There is no playground or pool. The sites are loose gravel and not level front to back, so you need to unhook. No biggie. It's a pleasant place overall. The camp host is a sweet older woman.
LegendMade a quick last second stop here on a long road trip after was getting late. Great place! Several sites to choose from, first come basis. Find your spot and pay at the self serve area. Vault restrooms were clean, trails were nice although it was very wet and muddy so didn't get off paved trail. Many sites have electric.
