About

Robert designed the park with a variety of camp areas and greenways. Today, Bear Run Campground is a 300-site full-service camping park with a heated pool, lake access, kids gem mine, and many more outdoor activities.

Bear Run was a wonderful spot, very family friendly. The staff members are very friendly and helpful. The campground was ready for fall and Halloween, with lots of activities planned and decorated for the occasion! The location is next to Moraine State Park and it's a great place for a hike. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there and would go there again.
