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

Absolutely beautiful land in the fall, I’d be curious to see it in the spring. our campsite was private and had all the essentials we needed. Scott gave us a tour and talked us through hiking the trails on the map which was very helpful. Trails were clearly marked and a bit challenging in places for a fun challenge. We enjoyed our stay and will plan to return. Please be aware we had no reception at the campsite. There were patches while walking towards the check in shed that had some service, but be prepared for a fully unplugged experience!

There was a fire ban the day we showed up to camp. Scott was nice enough to immediately buy a new propane fire pit and set it up for us to use. It was an extremely kind and considerate gesture. Highly recommend this place!

This is our third year visiting this site and we always have a wonderful time. It is beautifully maintained, well equipped and Scott couldn’t be nicer or more helpful. We hope to come back many more years.

Bear Creek Hideaway in the Poconos

We loved our stay at Camp Dietrich! We stayed at the Bear Creek Hideaway site. Starting off, the location was easy to find. Scott welcomed us at the Check Point shed and showed us a bunch of supplies available to us before leading the way to our site and helping us unload the car. He explained everything we’d need to know about the property, wildlife, amenities, and nearby town. The site was amazing with a super nice tent, fire pit, shower and toilet, and dining area along with the creek rushing by only a few feet away. We went in the fall and I can only imagine how amazing it would be to visit in the summer and be able to dip into the water right there. We brought our own bedding (sheet, comforter, pillows, and blanket) and were super cozy at night with the buddy heater on. The campsite was very private and we never heard or saw anyone else. We didn’t get to stay for long, but we did one hike over to the falls / swimming hole which was so beautiful. Again, I can only imagine how amazing it would be to visit in the summer! I’d highly recommend Camp Dietrich and would love to come back myself!

Bear Creek Falls Getaway

It was a beautiful secluded camping spot with all the amenities for a proper "glamping" experience! Scott was very friendly and helpful on check in, and it felt like we had an "insta" camp set up upon arrival, all we had to do was make our bed and light the fire!
