A Creek Runs Through It

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 will enjoy sitting by the creek or laying in the hammock, it is only a short hike to our private waterfall with swimming hole with plenty of areas to enjoy the water along the way. The tent site is surrounded by over 400 privately owned acres of natural forests, adjoined by Lehigh Gorge State Park and PA State Game Lands. Sturdy shoes or hiking boots recommended for hiking the many trails. Water shoes useful for walking through creek. Jim Thorpe, PA, offers outdoor adventures galore: white water rafting, kayaking, biking trips on a rails to trails biking path along the Lehigh, Skirmish Paint Ball, hiking Glen Onoko Falls and Hickory Run State Parks, and the beautiful mountaintop entertainment venue Penns Peak, and so much more.
