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
Highly recommend!!! My wife and I stayed for 2 nights and were completely blown away by this property. Scott made sure we had everything we needed and walked us through camp to ensure we had all necessary information about the site and the trails. We will definitely try and make it back!!! The creek and the trails were amazing and the double waterfalls did not disappoint. Such a peaceful site.

Retreat on Bear Creek
We Love Camp Dietrich
An amazing campground with amazing hosts! The campsite and waterfall are both very beautiful. The hosts are so helpful and kind, and they provide a lot of essential camping supplies which makes packing so much easier. Its also a really quick drive to the cute shops of Jim Thorpe. Us and our dogs love it here!

Bear Creek Hideaway in the Poconos
Perfect getaway
Our camping adventure on Scott’s land was one of the best I’ve ever had. Whether you’re a seasoned camper and want to go to a beautiful, private spot or if you’re a beginner and want a little backup support on your adventure, you’ll love camping on Scott’s land. You’re not right up against other campers and can feel like you’re in the woods alone and there are great hiking trails that start right outside of your tent. Scott has also created some magical spots to check out like the waterfalls with an Indiana Jones style bridge and hang out platform by the swimming hole. Can’t wait to visit again! Would highly recommend.

Bear Creek Falls Getaway
Great private getaway
Scott and Christina have an amazing property that is perfect for a glamping getaway. The site was stocked with everything you might need and Scott was there to help with anything else you might need. The site was very private and was nestled right onto a beautiful creek. Camp Dietrich even offers its own array of hiking trails if you don't want to go to far! My husband, puppy, and I all had a great weekend here!

Bear Creek Falls Getaway
Family friendly, accessible
Camp Dietrich is an excellent spot for family camping and very accessible for all types of campers. My 6 year old and I had an incredible first camping trip together here! We loved the zip line (total surprise when we got there!) and the swimming hole. The camp site was awesome - tent was sturdy and cozy, dining area is covered and stocked with tools, access to Bear Creek just steps away. Scott and his family have done an awesome job making trails and building their camp into a very special gem outside of Jim Thorpe, PA!

Bear Creek Falls Getaway
Looking forward to returning!
Our family had a wonderful time! The Bear Creek Getaway site was so beautiful with the creek running right through it. It was a perfect place to feel secluded with nature while having everything you could need. The site was incredibly well stocked and maintained. Scott was a pleasure to meet and helped us transport our gear between our cars and the site on arrival and departure which was so appreciated!
