Our Mission

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.   Two, provide veterans with a haven where they can experience gratitude and healing while honoring them with an everyday 50% rental discount.   

Bear Cave Camp is dedicated to my husband Joseph Leroy Radle (1969 - 2024), Air Force Veteran (Operation Desert Shield and Operation Desert Storm)

About Us

Less than half an hour from West Virginia's Capitol Charleston, Bear Cave Camp is a hidden treasure located on 60 forested acres conveniently located along a rarely traveled two-way single-lane paved public road that overlooks many homesteads with livestock that dot Tornado's back roads.    APPROACH via Coal River Road, turn onto Island Creek Road, and we are 1.5 miles south.
