Beacon RV Park

A bit sketch feeling in quality / part of town, but served it’s purpose. Tight spots along the sides, but pull throughs in the middle which we had, so getting in/out was easy. I would stay here again if it was my only option.

Price is way too high for this rundown park.

We selected this park because they indicated they could accommodate big rigs (40’ DRV 5th wheel) and because it was nearby the museums for Jesse James and the Pony Express. The location is great. They have wifi that mostly works and a cell tower less than 50’ from campground. The power 30/50 amp is good.

The bad is that when we arrived we could see how tightly packed they have the campers. There is not even room for a picnic table at your site. Vehicles have to be parked in the access alley. If everyone were present, no one would be able to leave because you would be parked in.

The campground’s primary customers seem to be trades people living there while they work during the day. We saw work trucks roll in shortly after five and multiple workers sharing a camper. The ugly part is some of the campers were in terrible condition and not road worthy.

It was a good location for what we needed, but if I had my druthers I would probably park further away from the city and drive to the sites. This city has so much great history. It would be a shame to miss this stop.

The park was full when I arrived. But as I was in my RV looking for another place, the hostess came out and told me that they had a spot that wasn't a normal spot but had electricity.

Also, the showers looked new and were very clean.

Not horrible……but not great. We have a 36ft fifth wheel and it was a VERY tight squeeze. The place is packed to the brim like a Walmart parking lot. We found that most of the campers there lived there long term. Not much space for setting up chairs or enjoying outside. Pull through sites are really just two separate sites you can pull through an empty spot to get to yours. We also slashed a tire on the way in because they had rail road ties poking out next to the curb. Wasn’t a relaxing experience for us so we didn’t stay long.

Worst RV park I have ever stayed at. The spots are so narrow and the double park you in a spot. They are not true pull through. Very steep hill to get into, and not very clean.
