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 Falls Getaway
Beautiful remote camp site!
Most amazing camp spot I’ve seen in PA ! All the amenities made for a relaxing family stay. The bathroom facilities were an added bonus! The tent that is on site was spacious and comfortable. I personally enjoyed a spot to set up my tent right by the water! Serenity sweet dreams will have me coming back soon!!

Bear Creek Hideaway in the Poconos
Beautiful Campsite!
We loved the campsite on Scott’s land so much! It was so secluded and quiet. The creek that ran along the campsite was picturesque and perfect for the kiddos to play in. The trails were fun to explore as well! The campsite had everything we needed as well. We overpacked thinking we’d need our usual amount of camping gear but Scott and Christina had the campsite fully stocked with all the essentials. And Scott was super helpful - answering all of our questions, helping with unloading, and refilling water as needed! We will definitely be returning to this campsite for another stay!

Scott & Christina are truly great amazing people overall, they acutely care for every camper they have stay. This was my second year there and let me tell ya it’s my go to spot every year! Everything is supplied practically, Scott is very attentive to any of your needs. Beautiful hiking areas, beautiful spots, beautiful place overall. I highly recommend coming here. My son and niece have a blast each time and they never wanna leave! Neither do we of course. Love this place, love the people that own it, love everything about it. I give it a 20 out of 5 star review!! Oh Scott’s son does amazing wood work, I’ve boughten 3 pieces so far!

Retreat on Bear Creek
Beautiful Private Site
This was a campers dream getaway! Scott and his wife have thought of everything you could possibly need. Private campsites, help unloading camping gear, a shed full of camping supplies available to borrow or buy, well kept hiking trails, a lovely watering hole with waterfalls, and lovely hosts available to help you get the best camping experience. It almost felt too good for the price. If you’re unsure- BOOK IT, you won’t regret it.

Such a great set up and wonderful hosts! We felt so welcome and cared for but also had our privacy and comfort. Can’t wait to come back again! Our dogs also give it a 10 out of 10
