FYI - several of the reviews on this site are reviewing a different park - Bear Mountain State park which is located quite a bit futher south where the Bear Mountain Bridge is located. It can be a very crowded and noisy park with busloads of people from NYC in the summer & fall. It is much nicer during the off season or less trafficed times during the week. Weekends - fuhgeddaboudit! It also has no camping that I know of.
Now - Bear SPRING Mountain I've not been to, but I wanted to point out the mix up.
