We have been camping at Bear Run for almost 10 years. Stumbled across it trying to find a closer place from home to camp and became seasonal that day. Bear Run offers activities for people of all ages every weekend... the owners and employees truly go above and beyond to make sure each person has a memorable stay.”

“Such a Great Campground!!
Bear Run offers just about every type of campsite from rustic tent to paved with full hookups. Staff was extremely accommodating when we were unable to level our camper because of heavy rains giving us an easier site to deal with. Camp store has just about anything you need. Nice playground and pool!”

“Fallen in Love With It !!
Since I was a little kid my family brought me and my little sister to Bear Run every weekend in the summer. It’s absolutely beautiful out here, feels more like camping than other campgrounds I’ve visited. About 2 years ago my fiancé brought me back for the first time as an adult and I fell back in love with it. All the people are kind and friendly. It’s such a nice beautiful getaway, I’d recommend Bear Run to anyone!”

“You Are Never Bored!
Bear Run is a place where we go on the weekends to unwind and relax! They have so many activities for the kiddos and it’s a safe place for the kids to explore on their own. We enjoy activities on the property, swimming in the swimming pool, ice cream at the store and nightly family time by the fire. The staff is very friendly as well! Thanks Bear Run for providing our family with endless weekend fun!”
