This is a great camping spot for families. The hosts made our stay easy and checked in each day with any updates and or to see if we needed anything. Being able to get firewood, kayaks, ice, and fresh water from the hosts was convenient. The views along the river are amazing. Cell coverage is limited, which we liked. Wildlife is present all around the property, the coolest being the owls, whose hoots would resonate and echo off the river. Speaking of the river, the water is very calm in front of the camp sites, with most allowing for pretty easy entry. Plan on bringing life jackets for kids. This is a camping spot we will definitely be returning to!

We had an absolute blast tent camping this weekend! The sites were really big! I love that they deliver fire wood right to your site. Having a bathroom near was also nice! They were very friendly and communicated with us multiple times throughout the weekend. We hope to be back very soon!

We had a wonderful time. Each campsite was right on the river and it was so beautiful! The restroom trailer was kept very clean and was convenient to use. I have already been telling my friends to check out Tony's land for their next camping trip! We will definitely be back.

Stunning location with plenty of space, excellent communication and support. Melanie provided a phenomenal escort and welcome. It's by far most beautiful campsite site I've ever seen.

Great place for camping, we felt safe and welcoming by the host. The place was clean and has amazing views, the only issue is that we did not have any signal to make a call or text, however the host offered WIFI access. Overall 5 star all around

Vast property with stunning views and lots of natural beauty. It was great to wake up to the sight of the river in the morning. Unfortunately it rained quite a bit of our time there but we still did our best to make the most of our stay.
Be aware the campsites are pretty close together, so this might not be the place for you if you are looking for something secluded. We were fine with it but we did have to listen to a generator 24/7 at the campsite next to us which was a bit annoying.
Ice and firewood are sold on property which is a huge plus, although the firewood we had delivered on the first night was pretty damp which made it hard to get the fire started. I assume this is not a problem when the weather is better. Overall great spot and hope to return at some point and have better luck with the weather, thanks Tony!

The host were very accommodating and friendly. The tent site that was reserved for us was the best Tent site had really good tree shade, space, privacy, and views! As mentioned in the description, cell service was little (T-Mobile) or next to nothing (Visible), which was perfectly fine for us and expected. Restroom near the site was great and convenient. Minimal road noise, we noticed the train sounds more. Overall great site and will be back again!

Camping experience was great! The river level was high making it difficult to access the water, so the kids couldn’t splash around without an adult helping them get in and out, but other than that everything was fantastic!

Bee Mountain Resort had everything we needed for a family camping weekend. Beautiful views, the largest tent site we've ever experienced, clean bathrooms with a flushable toilet, friendly service, and the sounds of nature. There were even lightning bugs at night, which is a novelty to see these days!

My 19 yr old son and I came to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and what we found was incredibly remarkable. Such a serene experience right next the mighty Brazos River. The water was flowing pretty swiftly due to flood control from the upstream lake but us and our 2 Black Lab pups just loved every minute of our time. With about 2 miles of well maintained riverfront to hike, we found ourselves just completely blown away by the beauty and serenity of God’s creation. His staff was very helpful and they made the stay very pleasant and accommodated all of our needs. I highly recommend this place to anyone and my wife and I are already in the works of planning our return trip.

Our stay at bee mountain resort was amazing!!
The camping area are very spacious, gives you PLENTY of room if 3 or more tents are being put up. We were right off the bank shore making it easy to put kayaks into the water. Finally the bathroom are clean and kept up.
Lots of trails to hike as well. Melanie and Tony are very helpful and keep EVERYONE update when bathroom are being traded out or just checking if campers need anything, definitely recommend and will be coming back to here

3 nights at Bee Mountain River Resort
Had an amazing time. Crew taking care of restrooms and running the wood/ice requests were timely and accepted Zelle at the reception area at the front of the property.
Kayak rentals were fun and they double as a paddle board.

We had a magnificent time at Bee Mountain. Tony and Melanie were fantastic hosts and we cannot wait to go back. They made check in a breeze, they were super friendly, answered every question we had, and were a joy to sit and chat with.
The property is simply stunning! I could go on and on and on about it, but just do yourself a favor and go out there for a stay!! It’s truly a gem and I am so thankful that there are private property owners that share their little slices of heaven with those of us who would rather be out in nature than stuck in the concrete jungles.
THANK YOU Tony and Melanie!!!!

We had an amazing time! Our site by the water was peaceful and conveniently close to the bathroom. The firewood and paddle board delivery were a great touch, and the well water was handy. Our kids and dog loved it! We’re already planning our next trip back. Highly recommend!

My kids and I stayed there over spring break, we were at Eagle Ridge 1-I finally got to meet Tony., He was super-friendly and very welcoming; Melanie met us and guided us to our spot—she was very helpful. I chose our spot because it was close to the restrooms which helped with my littles; our spot, the river, everything was perfect—we will definitely be back
