context_page_description: Roaring Run Resort, a former Boy Scout camp dating back to the 1920s, is a private-membership recreational campground and RV park located in the Laurel Highlands area of Southwestern Pennsylvania, between Seven Springs and Hidden Valley Golf & Ski Resort. The resort was featured in USA Today and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and parts of its history have been documented in the Journal of Economic History and Pittsburgh Press. Roaring Run has the distinction of being one of the original Pennsylvania Boy Scout camps, as well as originally housing one of the oldest blast furnaces in Pennsylvania.
  Many landmarks and buildings throughout the park date back to the 1920s, including The Trading Post, Hoyt Lodge, stone buildings, and stone walls.
context_section_description: USA Today featured Roaring Run Resort's rental cabins as a place to stay in the Laurel Highlands region. In addition to the cabins, amenities include basketball, fishing, hiking and nature trails, horseshoes, miniature golf, ping pong, swimming, tennis, volleyball, bocce ball, and shuffleboard.
  The resort shares a border with Roaring Run Natural Area, a 3,600-acre tract of land owned by the state of Pennsylvania, as well as a stream called Roaring Run. The stream falls 1,200 feet off Laurel Ridge. The stream is designated as a Wilderness Trout Stream and an Exceptional Value Stream. Roaring Run empties into Indian Creek, adjacent to Roaring Run Resort's property.
