Escape to the Pennsylvania countryside for an evening, a weekend, or longer this summer. Roast marshmallows over a campfire. Curl up in a sleeping bag in your tent or gaze out the window of your cabin after a long day of hiking, swimming, and soaking up the sun. Bear Run Campground, which just might be the most beautiful campground near Pittsburgh, provides the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable summer adventure.
Start a new summer tradition with a camping excursion to Bear Run Campground, a lush spot on the edge of Moraine State Park that has been a favorite camping destination of Pittsburghers since 1975.
Wrap yourself in the luxuries of home by sleeping in your RV or by booking one of the cozy cabins or family lodges. (Pet-friendly cabins are available.)
Or, if you prefer an old-fashioned camping experience, pitch a tent at one of the two primitive camping sites. Hike to the walk-in site, a secluded spot within easy distance of Moraine State Park's Lake Arthur or...
The second primitive location allows campers to pitch a tent right near their parked cars. You'll have easy access to portable bathrooms and water. A fire pit and picnic tables are also available.
Discover all of the activities Bear Run Campground offers. Lounge by the sparkling pool for the day. Go horseback riding or hide away in the game room to play pool or pinball.
Stop by the Bear Run Camp Store to stock up on all the necessities, including groceries, snacks, and treats as well as souvenirs, clothing, and camping supplies.
This beautiful campground near Pittsburgh provides the perfect backdrop for a summer getaway. If you prefer more of a glamping experience, you might want to check into this epic glampground outside of the city.
