Roads to get to the campground are horrible and the roads to access the campground are even worse. They have an awkward angle and not rv friendly. Cell service for Verizon is virtually non existent. Stayed with a large group and had power issues where the main breaker kept tripping. Park is not able to handle many large rigs in the pond area. Site was very unlevel and had no gravel, so trailer did... Roads to get to the campground are horrible and the roads to access the campground are even worse.

Park is not able to handle many large rigs in the pond area. Site was very unlevel and had no gravel, so trailer did not have a solid base to level. In general the park really needs some attention. Owner is very friendly and helpful. We camped at Bear Ridge in a Fifth Wheel.

We stay in cabin 10 at Bear Ridge at least for once, sometimes twice a year. It’s adorable, comfortable, and so much fun! The owners are absolutely lovely and go out of their way to take care of us every time.❤️

Wonderful, peaceful place with great views. The Armstrong Trails are nearby and my wife and I were able to enjoy two days of biking on these beautiful rail trails along the Allegheny River. Staff is very friendly and we enjoyed our time here.

We spent time at this campground during the summer, loved it, everyone very friendly. Very clean, welcoming campground! We loved it too because we can take our golf cart. Looking into getting a permanent site. Great area for side by sides, 4 wheelers. Local pizza delivery!

Wonderful campground. Beautiful, very scenic. Big, clean pool and large pond with lots of fish. There's always some type of activity each weekend and holiday weekends are packed with people and things to do. The bath house is large, bright and clean. The store has delicious ice cream! If you are looking for a relaxing place to stay, check out Bear Ridge.
