Weekend Trip to Bee Land! True Off-Grid Camping

Bee Land was an amazing experience and the perfect place to check out and enjoy some solitude. The location is beautiful and open with plenty of places to explore in the immediate area or a short drive away. Sara was an incredibly gracious and responsive host who knows the area very well. She was helpful with directions and even suggested places to check out while I was there. I would highly recommend Bee Land for anyone who wants to enjoy a super easy and remote getaway.
