Bee Island is a primitive site that is about a 3 mile hike in, depending on the route you choose. Easy hike, flat. Located in a oak hammock, just off a trail and an access road for rangers. Very peaceful. On the nights we stayed we saw lots of birds and listened to owls and coyotes during the night. There is a water pump that provides water but it MUST BE TREATED by either filtering, boiling or some other chemical means. It has a strong iron taste but it IS drinkable after PROPERLY treated.
Hell of a hike
Good site. Awesome sunset. There is a pitcher pump but is labelled not for human consumption. Sites have fire ring with movable grating one pack post. Some have seating on logs some do not. Enjoy!
Great place to camp.
