About this campground
The Omni Bedford Springs Resort & Spa, built in 1806 and a member of Historic Hotels of America® since 2008 was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. Historic Hotels of America is the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation® for recognizing and celebrating the finest historic hotels across America. For centuries, the Native Americans of Pennsylvania used the area's mineral springs for their curative powers, a custom that they shared with local doctor John Anderson in the 1790s. Anderson then began prescribing specialized treatments for afflicted guests, who journeyed from around the world in increasing numbers to take of the healing waters. To accommodate the growing number of patients, Anderson built an inn in 1806 using stone quarried from the mountain adjacent to the springs. Over the next century, Omni Bedford Springs Resort & Spa added fine resort amenities such as one of the first golf courses and indoor pools in America. A $120 million renovation has restored this National Historic Landmark, which is once again one of America's grandest resort hotels.
