We stayed here one night on our way to northern Ohio. It was about the 2/3 point of our trip and borders Moraine and McConnell's Mill state parks, both areas we wanted to spend a little time exploring. Our site was in the Pine Meadows area of the campground, which has water/electric hookups. This area is quiet and pretty well removed from the rest of the CG, which is nice, but is not well suited for any trailer but the very smallest. The road is narrow and tightly bordered on one side by trees and the turn-around is very rough and tight. Once we had the trailer backed in, we were pleased with the site. There is a horse pasture directly behind these sites. The showerhouse/restrooms are at the top of the hill, above the pasture and equipment barns, so it's best to drive. Bring your quarters for the showers! The showerhouse is fairly old but was clean enough and the water was hot. This CG has a number of different areas, some of which are on hillsides. The Pine Meadows area is sloped but we had no problems leveling. There are also primitive tent areas even more removed from the main CG. One entrance, and a boat ramp, for Moraine State Park are less than a mile from the CG entrance. The CG maintains the boat ramp, according to a sign posted there. Overall it seems like a nice, well-kept private CG. Of course, there are many seasonal sites, but all that we saw were well kept. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

This campground was cramped, noisy, and sloped. After parking our fifth wheel there was no place to park the truck. Sites were muddy and very sloped. The regulars were yelling until around 1 A.M. with dogs barking constantly. Rigs were coming in and setting up until 11:00 P.M. Facilities are nice and tent sites look spacious. However, the kids were loud and roaming all night. I would not recommend this place if your looking for a quiet weekend getaway. We camped here in a Fifth Wheel.

The campground actually has trees which is a nice change of pace these days. If you aren't looking for full hookup, there are some nice level sites for overnight stays. If you are looking for full hookups, you will be on a hillside. We stayed in the campground after Labor Day so it wasn't very crowded. We were able to pull into our site because the site behind us was vacant. It would have been very difficult to back into the site due to the narrow roads in the campground. The campground employee guided us into our site and had us pull the trailer right up to the road. He then directed us to park the truck behind the trailer. We parked this way because to make the trailer more level. Unfortunately campers took up residence directly across the road from us. When it was time to leave, they weren't at their site so we had to move a lot of their items just to get our truck in front of the trailer to hookup. You will also hear the interstate noise 24 hours a day. This campground is better suited for smaller trailers. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

My famiy and I camped here on the July 4th weekend of 2005. I asked for a pull thru and was given what they consider a pull thru. I was directed to the site and guided in by an employee. The extreme angle twisted my coach and leveling was difficult. The next day I was asked to remove my bike rack from the rear of the coach to accomodate another camper who was pulling in behind me. I told the employee I had a pull thru and why was someone pulling in behind me? He stated that we don't pull thru sites. Good thing I was not pulling my car this weekend. The camper behind me was so close I had to turn sideway's to get between my coach and his trailer. the campground is on a hill and getting in and out is very difficult. I had to ask the camper below me and across to move there cars so I could leave on Monday. The management had packed in so many campers that weekend we felt like saridines. The pool closed at 7:00pm Why? I have emailed several times to the management and have gotten no response. I would not recomed this campground nor will we return. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a nice campground that I would recommend to anyone coming to the area, mostly because it is the best in an area with sub-par campgrounds. However, the area is well maintained. The rules are enforced, though I noticed a few less-than-savory teenagers wandering around at night trying to bum cigarettes. I was able to sit around the fire after quiet hours with a couple friends and not be hassled about noise (though we are fairly considerate people.) there are plenty of things for kids to do here and I feel the family atmosphere here more than most cgs I have been to. But still, the roads are not paved, the sites are close together, there are too many permanent sites (albeit fairly well taken care-of compared to most), and the site I was in was very uneven (never could get level) as were most of the sites around me. Probably the best campground to see Pittsburgh from though. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We were told by the owners that this park was "big rig friendly". When we visited, there were only a few sites in the entire park that could accomodate a 40' coach. Most of the park is built on a steep mountainside. When we departed the campsite, the steep angle of the departure road caused us to drag the back end of our motorhome doing over $1500 in damage to the coach. We visited in the fall when the owners were doing lots of fall cleanup, including flushing of their water lines. We ended up using over $200 in water filter cartridges because of the sediment in the well water. So the way I figure it, that month of camping cost us over $2000. Not a good camping experience for a large motorhome owner. The owners here are very friendly and the campground is very well maintained. This would be a great location to camp for families with lots of kids in a small trailer or RV. We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed at Bear Run for one night during our vacation. We had a very nice time. The staff were very helpful in parking our rig, and giving us directions for the sights of the area. The camp store is nice and offers a wide variety of gifts and supplies. There were a lot of seasonal sites however mostly in another location. They were also well maintained. The site was very level and very easy to pull in and out. While we were there we drove around the camp. There are lots of primative tent sites way up in the woods that looked nice and quiet. They also had a few cabins that are nicely secluded by pine trees. In fact we didn't even notice at first they were there. Each is separated by a large row of nice pine trees. Although only there for a night, it was definately a place we would return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed at Bear Run while visiting Pittsburgh and had a lovely visit. The staff were very helpful in
parking our rig, using the modem, and giving us directions for the sights of the area. We will surely try to go back there. We camped here in a camper.
