“It was perfect for our quick weekend getaway.
Love that this campground has a ton of trees. Provides shade and privacy from neighboring campers. They had a good bit of scheduled activities, a really nice playground for the kids. We stayed in a cabin (the outback lodge) that was cute and quaint. We slept 7 in the cabin, comfortably. We had a full bathroom with small shower. It was perfect for our quick weekend getaway. I'm sure we will be back.”
—Stephanie W, Google

“This is the place to be!
Looking for a summer camping adventure or seasonal spot to drop your trailer? This is the place to be. Tons of activities and different themes for the weekend. Nice heated pool, playgrounds scattered throughout campground, pond on site for fishing, and just a short walk down the road to Lake Arthur. Camp store is always stocked up and has delicious ice cream.”

Meet Nate, our unofficial mascot.

You’ll see Nate lounging around the store while you’re here.

Frankly, he thinks he owns the place. If you see him, don’t tell him otherwise. Just say hi and give him a scratch behind the ears, if he lets you.

We thought it was only fitting to have him hang around the website too.

This is Nate.

Bear Run Campground is a family-owned and operated campground that offers premiere RVing, tenting, and cabin vacations near Pittsburgh and Moraine State Park.

Forever Fun. Forever Family.
