Bear Cave Camp

Tornado, West Virginia

Less than half an hour from West Virginia's Capitol Charleston, yet a world away, Bear Cave Camp is a hidden treasure located on 60 forested acres in West Virginia's Lincoln County holler. We are conveniently located along a rarely traveled 2-way 1-lane paved public road that overlooks many homesteads with livestock that dot Tornado's back roads. Whether you seek a back-to-nature family escape with Fido, a solitary sojourn, a team building adventure, or an overnight or a day time escape, Bear Cave Camp is your haven for creating memories.

Hosts Laura and Joe (Air Force Veteran, Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm)

Bear Cave Camp's mission is twofold. One, create an environment where people are inspired to engage in mindful togetherness with each other and with Mother Nature.
