Four secluded campsites along Bear Creek in the Poconos, feature spacious safari tents with queen bunk beds, covered dining area, a deck to set up an additional 6 person pop up tent. In addition we have “Check Point Shed” where campers can borrow gear. Drive into your campsite immediately you will hear the sounds of a babbling creek, by giant rhododendrons under magnificent hemlocks and oaks - a truly natural and relaxing experience. Campers can enjoy a short hike to our private waterfall with swimming hole or lay in a hammock by the creek. The sites are surrounded by 400 acres of privately owned natural forest with several miles of marked trails. The campsite is adjoined by Lehigh Gorge State Park and PA state game lands. Sturdy shoes or hiking boots are recommended for hiking. Just minutes away there are outdoor adventures galore: white water rafting, kayaking, biking on rail to trails bike paths, skirmish paint ball, Glen Onoko Falls and Hickory Run state parks. The mountaintop entertainment venue Penns Peak and the historic town of Jim Thorpe are just 15 minutes from the campsite.

Retreat on Bear Creek

Spring camping trip

We had a wonderful stay at Bear Creek! The scenery along the creek was picturesque and it was fun to follow the winding trails to the waterfall. It’s clear this land and campground has been given lots of TLC. The nights we were here were very chilly and the propane heater in the canvas tent came in handy overnight and for us to hangout in and play games. Our kids had fun with the map of the camp and the names of all of the trails and campsites. Lots of amenities and Scott was warm and welcoming! He even helped up get our gear up and down the hill with the ATV. Can’t wait to come back again!

Bear Creek Hideaway in the Poconos

The campground here is absolutely idyllic, beautiful and everything you can ask for, however there is one thing that stands out from everything else and that is Scott himself. I would seriously come back just to visit him. His generosity and patience with the follies of a city dweller, such as myself, was exceptional and I feel truly indebted to his outstanding hospitality.

A Creek Runs Through It, Poconos

April Camping

Camp Dietrich is an amazing place. This was our first time camping here and we didn’t know what to expect. We were extremely happy with the site, the amenities, the trails and definitely the beautiful waterfalls. Scott was an absolute pleasure, when you needed something or bumped into him on the property it felt like you were talking to a good neighbor you knew for ten years. I highly recommend for family’s or just couples. It was quite, secluded and all around great.

Bear Creek Falls Getaway

A must stay!

I loved the property, very peaceful and secluded! Scott and Christina were more than welcoming, if we needed anything there was no hesitation on their end, the entire weekend was worry free. The falls are a must see! We will be back again!
