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. Jim Thorpe has many fine eatery’s, shops, the Lehigh Gorge Railway and Asa Packer mansion

Bear Creek Hideaway in the Poconos
Camp Dietrich is one of our favorite places to camp! Scott always has the campsite stocked with anything you could think you need. It is the perfect weekend getaway. We brought our parents and brother along with us this trip and there was plenty of space for the five of us. You can hike on the property and go to their watering hole and it’s such a beautiful place to visit. We will for sure be back!

Bear Creek Falls Getaway
Amazing Get Away!
Scott is the owner of the property and he is an awesome guy! Checked in with us when we first got there and gave us a great walkthrough of all of the features the property has to offer. If you stay here I’d recommend taking a hike on one of the many trails the property has to offer. Matt’s Meander is a little challenging but worth it when you make it to the point of no return! You have to go to the waterfall and go for a swim in the natural pool! The town of Jim Thorpe is only around 15-20 min away and is full of fun shops and things to do. We did the trolly tour and it’s a great way to see the whole town and learn the history of the area. We also went to Broadway Grille for lunch and the chicken sandwich was delicious. Overall amazing experience and we might be making a trip back here in the spring!

Anniversary getaway
Camp Dietrich was a wonderful place to get away. They have beautiful sites, thoughtful hosts, and gorgeous private trails through the property! Scott was thorough about showing us all the amenities when we checked in, was quick to respond to requests, and of course was so friendly and welcoming. We had a spectacular time and you will too!
