I absolutely love Beech Bend Park! It’s the perfect size — big enough to offer plenty of fun and excitement, but not so big that you get overwhelmed or feel lost. There’s a great variety of rides and attractions for all ages, and it’s easy to explore the whole park in a day without feeling rushed. The season tickets are definitely worth it, especially if you enjoy going on weekends. You can go as often as you like and really get the most out of everything the park has to offer. Highly recommend for families, thrill seekers, or anyone just looking for a fun and friendly atmosphere close to home!

My family and I love camping. Upon arrival, the camp spots are not clearly marked. It took awhile to figure out places. They only allow one tent per camping space. There is plenty of room for many of them. Our kids were not allowed to set up their tents or we have to pay $50 more per night. FOR KID TENTS. It’s also very sketchy when paying. They want cash only or check if you don’t have cash but prefer cash. With that much money collected the camp ground should be nicer. One bath house was broke down. Our camping electricity was out. They were not going to fix it until we insisted. They did not fix it even after that. We could only use one outlet when we had an entire electrical box per site. The bathrooms were disgusting. There were two bathhouses but one was shut down due to a toilet issue. I don’t expect a 5 start hotel bathroom when camping. I do expect for them to not be trashed, 2 inches of wet grime on the floor, toilet leaking, no toilet paper, no soap, and smelt horrible. We went for a holiday weekend. Never once see the management the entire weekend. Trash was overflowing everywhere. They advertised playgrounds for the kids but they are extremely outdated and broken. The only nice place about this camp was the ramp into the river. We were told that was managed by someone else. That made perfect sense.

We absolutely love it here , it's so peaceful. We keep our camper most of the time during the season. The quiet time is 10pm every night which is great. Id definitely recommend anyone who's looking to camp to stay here , full hook up for campers and an emptying tank . It has its own boat ramp so you can easily put your boat in and out on site.

DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! The lady over the campground is very rude, and racist. We reached out to the mayor on several occasions, but he refused to return my calls. I later found out they are close friends which completely explained his desire to ignore the situations.
