Bear Run Campground

Stayed there for the labor day weekend next to the horses. We've been camping here for almost six years. The experience was very mixed at starts but got better for myself and my family. Gave it four stars only because of the parks security. Without it I would of only gave it one.

It started out rather horrible, being right next to a group of people who kept screaming and cussing, tossing beer bottles into our camp into the late hours of the night. I was just waiting for a fight to break out. My kids and myself was scared to death and couldn't sleep.

With a single report to the security guard around 12:40 in the morning, he fixed the problem by talking to the group and checked up on them and us throughout the night and even escorted a drunk individual away from my kids tent.

Been going to this camp for six years and never knew they had security. They either got a better security guard or made improvements. Thanks for keeping my family safe!

The campground is nice. We rented a travel trailer, very clean and comfortable. The staff though, is beyond excellent! They were supportive, kind, attentive and just so super helpful. I will stay again, trying one of the other travel trailers. Great place to bring your family.

Got the family together for a weekend camp trip and had so much fun at Bear Run! Staff was super friendly and so helpful with any questions you might have. We rented primitive walk-in sites and they were perfect, private, and relaxing! They also have a little gem mining station that our son loved, he had so much fun getting to play in the dirt and water! The pool and playground were nice and clean as well, our nephews had a blast being able to swim! Also the arcade was a nice little stop to play some pool and entertain the older kids for a bit! Overall, I was so impressed with this campground and will definitely be back soon! Super family-friendly and an awesome place to camp if have little ones! Highly recommend!

So enjoyed our stay at Bear Run Campground. In Portersville, Pa.

We stayed here while my sister-in-law was recovering from surgery in Pittsburgh. My biggest complaint would be the weather for the first week, which was terrible. Obviously, that's no reflection on the campground, just the way it was. The second week more than made up for it with beautiful blue cloudless skies every day.

The campground is huge, with a large section in the far back for primitive camping. We walked around that area and it is simply beautiful. The middle section has cabins and a large area for seasonal camping. There weren't many people using that section yet, but I can imagine that it is a lot of fun in the summer when there are lots of families there.
We stayed in the short-term area at the front of the campground, where there are some gravel and some paved sites. These sites are a bit close together, and for us, the picnic table was more in the way than useful, but it wasn't that bad.

The staff is very friendly and worked hard to accommodate our stay, enabling us to stay at one site the whole time instead of having to move around. It is a family-run business and everyone there seems to really enjoy working there.
If we ever find ourselves in the area again, this will definitely be our campground of choice.
