About

For 44 years, the Wehr family has been accommodating guests that come to enjoy the bountiful offerings of family recreation and leisure attractions offered at the jewel of Western Pennsylvania, Moraine State Park. In 1975, Robert Wehr and his wife, June, purchased a nearly 60-acre rolling agricultural land tract along Moraine State Park's southwestern border that featured immediate access to Lake Arthur. 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. Come celebrate the Bear Run Family Camping Tradition!

I stayed in log cabin #6 it was a very nice weekend. Cabin 6 is on the end of the cabins and you have a good section of woods basically to yourself. Cabin was very clean and provided everything we needed for our camping trip. I would recommend bear run it was a nice campground with a nice store and great customer service.

The customer service was great. Cabin was clean and came with everything we needed. The Amish donuts were amazing. My 6 year old son rode his bike all weekend and made friends.
