If you keep going past the trails that go down to the lake you will find the campground. I've posted pictures with the map location of where you can park, the spot to pay with an envelope, and the entrance to the camping area.
Nice flat grass lots, dumpsters, grills, picnic benches under shelters. The water and electric are about 20 feet from the back of your rig, so if you have short cables and hoses be warned.

A previous reviewer notes that there are signs at the park indicating members only. We took that to mean the fishing lake based on the way that the signs were posted.

A previous reviewer notes that there are signs at the park indicating members only. We took that to mean the fishing lake based on the way that the signs were posted. So we went ahead and got a site - level, with a picnic shelter and power and water. Awesome!
Later I dug a little deeper into the county website and found the 2019 resolution making the county park members only (and at prices that seem out of reach for most in a small agricultural town). During our stay, the Sheriff drove by and waved. Not a word about membership on the county's web page for the park: https://www.kearnycountykansas.com/beymer-park/
Curious about what was really going on I called the city the next day, asked about camping, told them I was visiting, asked about any special rules. Not a word about "membership". So the mystery remains.
This was a clean, quiet park with well spaced sites, a playground, small lake and is convenient to the town of Laykin. This would be our pick if traveling across Kansas again.

Nobody mentioned the signs that say you must have a membership and call a number to check in. If you arrive after 5 they will not answer and you won’t be able to check in.

Nobody mentioned the signs that say you must have a membership and call a number to check in. If you arrive after 5 they will not answer and you won’t be able to check in. It was late at night and I needed somewhere to stop. I assumed this was a small campground where you put money in a box. At night it is pitch black and almost impossible to find where the RV spots are, I could have managed that but all the intimidating signs that say membership only aren’t very welcoming. I left and stayed at a truck stop down the street.

Cheap access to electric and water. Nice sites, quiet, level, with covered picnic tables. No fire ring. The shower and bathroom are less than impressive but work in a pinch

I saw trash cans and dumpsters scattered throughout the dry camping and fee area. Bath house looked clean, but the showers weren't hooked up. I didn't have any troubles with the electric, it ran my a.c.. Some trees, but not enough to block the Kansas wind if it decides to blow.Fee area is south of bath house. Very easy to get to from both hiways.

Nothing to write home about, but good for an overnight.
All sites are on grass and share a covered shelter with the site next to it. Not really a problem because no one was here.
$10 for water and electric. No dump on site.

We had about 10 days to kill between our art shows in Oklahoma and Colorado and thought we do a little exploring and see how inexpensively we could camp along the way. We found one city park here in Kansas with free hook ups for 2 nights. We needed electricity to have air-conditioning ... it’s too hot and humid. Yesterday we found this place would $10 hook ups and covered tables. We ended up staying for three nights and enjoyed it very much… The weather has cooled a bit so air-conditioning isn’t that much of an issue but it’s nice to have the electricity anyway. We had a nice grilled dinner on our covered table then enjoyed the cool evening breeze. This place is right off the road and it’s nothing fancy but it’s all you will need for a couple of days… There’s not much to do but we’re working so office work, laundry and, general housework in the RV take place when we have downtime. There were two other trailers in the small campground but we never saw a soul. This little park is maintained well with nice level grassy areas to back up into. It was nice to have quiet private campsites for a couple of nights… We have dogs so we like it best when there are no other people around… And so to the dogs!! 🐶🐶

We stayed at the beginning of November and the water was turned off to the entire park. There is power, which is great!
Dumpster on site for trash. Overall great, simple stay. Would totally stop here again if we were in the area!

It wasn't very pretty and there was nothing to do, but we loved our stay. At only $10/night for W/E (three-day limit) and the place completely to ourselves, how could we not? The grounds are spacious and level, well-kept (lots of garbage cans/dumpsters), and quiet. There are several ramadas with picnic tables, a couple of playgrounds, a group shelter, and plenty of space to boondock if you don't want hookups. The name is a bit misleading since the only water activity would be fishing, but accessing the water for that looked near-impossible.
What WE did was catch up on internet business, walk/run the roads, and work on our hobbies.
There were some day visitors each day who came to practice archery, walk themselves and their dogs, and the park employee who stopped by to collect the fee envelope and take care of a little maintenance.
It was quite windy a few nights, which necessitated us pulling in a couple of our slides to prevent damage to the toppers.
The showers are very old and obviously not used often, but there was plenty of warm (not hot) water.
dates of our stay: Oct. 4-6, 2018
