Bee Run Campground

How does the thought of a tranquil, intimate camping experience with easy access to sparkling lake waters and forested trails sound? Bee Run Campground, nestled above Sutton Lake in central West Virginia, offers just that. Perfect for campers seeking a quiet retreat, this small, primitive campground features 12 campsites suitable for tents, RVs, and travel trailers, each outfitted with a fire ring, lantern post, and picnic table. Though the sites lack direct lake views, they provide stunning vistas of West Virginia's rolling hills and wildlife.

Located three miles off Interstate 79 near Sutton, Bee Run Campground is part of the Sutton Lake Recreation Area. A short drive or hike from the campground takes you to the Bee Run Day-Use Area, which boasts a marina, swimming beach, picnic spots, and a boat launch. Sutton Lake itself is a hub for outdoor recreation, offering swimming, fishing (bass, crappie, and walleye), motorized boating, and kayaking. Nearby trails cater to hiking and biking enthusiasts, while the Elk River Wildlife Management Area provides opportunities for wildlife exploration and off-trail adventures.

Situated just minutes from the historic town of Sutton, campers can explore charming cobblestone streets, unique local shops, and nearby attractions like the Bulltown Historic Area and Flatwoods Outlet Mall. For nature enthusiasts and serenity seekers alike, Bee Run Campground offers an ideal base for a weekend escape or extended stay surrounded by West Virginia’s lush natural beauty.
