Celebrating 40 Years - Bear Run Family Camping Tradition For forty years the Wehr family has been accommodating guests that come to enjoy the bountiful offering of family recreation and leisure attractions offered at the jewel of western Pennsylvania; Moraine State Park. The campground was originated by Robert Wehr a career engineer, born in 1929 who developed a passion for families and the outdoor lifestyle. In 1975 he 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. Considering the strategic location, with its rolling beauty and topographical challenges, Robert designed the park with a variety of camp areas and greenways. That summer the park was created utilizing volunteers and recruits from his family including his parents, his wife June and sons, Keith, Todd, & Craig. By Labor Day weekend the transformation of his design blueprints to a hundred site full-service Camping Park was realized and opened for Campers to enjoy for the areas colorful fall season. During the early years several varieties of trees were hand planted for what is now mature shade. Many thousands of families have been become loyal camping patrons over the past few decades. Today a new generation of Wehrs joins with staff for the joy of serving guests during this landmark year.
