About
Bee Run Campground is a small, primitive campground managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on Sutton Lake in central West Virginia. Located three miles from Interstate 79 at the Flatwoods exit, the campground offers 12 first-come, first-served sites suitable for RVs, travel trailers, and tents. The sites are pull-through and non-electric, each equipped with a fire ring, lantern post, and picnic table.
The campground sits atop a hill with views of West Virginia's rolling hills and wildlife rather than the lake itself. While the lake is within hiking distance, visitors can also drive to the adjacent Bee Run Day Use Area, which features a free swimming beach, boat launch, Sutton Lake Marina with a ship store, playground, and picnic shelters. The campground is surrounded by the Elk River Wildlife Management Area, offering numerous hiking and biking trails to explore.
Sutton Lake provides opportunities for motorized boating, water skiing, and fishing for largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and crappie. The Jeremiah Carpenter Trail leads to the Sutton Dam North Abutment with views of the dam. Nearby attractions include the historic town of Sutton with cobblestone streets and local shops, the Bulltown Historic Area, and Flatwoods Outlet Mall. The campground has a volunteer host, vault toilets, and security lighting, but no potable water or electric hookups.
Directions
From Interstate 79, take the Flatwoods exit. The campground is three miles from the exit at 1734 Bee Run Road, Sutton, WV 26601.
