Bear Run Campground

This is an amazing campground with reasonable prices, an array of camping options to suit different camping needs as well as budget range. I am unsure if I just happen to have gotten lucky and decided to go camping during a special weekend, but it’s Labor Day weekend and I am loving that there is a calendar of events for campers to participate in if they choose to. Activities include wagon rides to the lake, talent show, karaoke…etc, as well as church! This was an unexpected gem as we are from Florida and were blessed enough to stumble upon the right person in a parking lot when my husband asked if they knew of any places that we could possibly camp at nearby and that gentleman told us about Moraine Park. Upon making our way out to here, we found Bear Run and have loved our experience so far. Love it!

I took my 7yo son last year for his first time camping. He absolutely loved it!!! Everyone was very nice & the heated pool & campstore are great. He especially enjoyed the “rock mining”. He keeps wanting to go back to get the motherload bag to mine!

My friend and I have camped here for the past 3 years. We always pick the same site because it's close to a porta-potty AND a water spigot. Everyone is very friendly and there's a great little general store, in case you forget anything.. or just want an ice cream cone. Has been pretty quiet when we've gone.

Haven't had the luxury of being there, but our goal is stay in a cabin with a roll in and or hot tub as well A romantic weekend we Haven't had hust the 2 of us! Thank you

Bear run has a pond and pool and an amazing camping store to grab a coffee and hang out for a bit browsing through camping gear.  I love hanging out there and the owners are always happy to see you.

This campground is deceptively big! The nightly RV sites are close to the park entrance and are relatively flat. The campground hosts themed events, game nights and arts& crafts. There is a swimming pool and playground for the kids. It also has a small café that sells baked goods and coffee. On Saturdays they sell amazing Armish Donuts! 

Further into the campground the sites turn to more permanent sites. Further up the hill are more cottages and camping. This campground is steep in parts and too large to walk efficiently. There is a fenced dog run area and a beautiful lake. All sites have fire rings. There is an onsite laundry, WIFI, onsite dump station and propane refill station. 

You can also buy ice and firewood. The campground is gated. Lots to do at the campground and lots to do in the surrounding area. They welcome all furry friends!

Fantastic service, really kind people and very relaxing place also the campground is very family friendly.

I've only camped in state parks before. We went to Bear Run during the pandemic, when the state parks weren't open yet.

We were tent car-camping. We felt as if Bear Run really catered to RVers.

The tent sites were small and crammed together. There was no bathroom (only a porta-potty). There was no place to wash dishes (the closest thing we could find was a hose that was FAR away). There were no grates on the fire-pits for cooking (as there are at DNCR facilities).

Now that said, you CAN drink alcohol there (which IS a plus).

And the staff was awesome ... we could CALL them on our phone and they would bring us stuff (more fire wood, a grate for cooking). THAT was nice.

But without a closer bathroom and a place to wash dishes, we would just as soon go back to state parks.

We loved camping at Bear Run so much we bought an old trailer and we now park it there year around. Every weekend there are activities, there is a heated pool and Friday night Bingo. A great place with even better people! The restrooms are clean and the general store carries most thing you would need.

Bear Run offers pull through sites for larger RV's. The pool is smaller but still enjoyable.  Tons of activities always planned on the weekend.  Family Friendly Friendly!

Nice campground but too hilly for kids to ride bikes. Very close to Lake Arthur for fishing and kayaking.

We stayed at this camp ground for our first experience camping! Quiet and friendly place!

This is a great campground for families. I always camp near the horses as i like a bit more privacy. The front of the campground is a bit too packed for my liking. They also have a primative area that is quite nice. Moraine State Park is close by for canoeing and fishing.

We always have an amazing time at Bear Run! Very family friendly place and pets are welcome too! My son loves the horse rides on Sundays
