The 66-acre property has been licensed as an airport (PS20) since the 1980s. It is currently an active, private airport. We don't sell fuel or offer services beyond camping so we primarily have only air traffic with few to no landings each year. In other words, it is very quiet here except during the occasional low pass. We are very eager for pilots to fly in and camp out! The beautiful sunsets and stargazing night skies are a real treat for anyone that comes to visit. Lots of deer, birds, and other wildlife can be seen out and about. Bring your telescope and binoculars to view all the property has to offer! Note that we are always working to improve our slice of heaven, thus we do have tools, vehicles, and equipment stored around the farm that if not used now will be one day. We appreciate your understanding that some areas are used for our personal / farm storage. If you're not into looking at our farmware, there are a few nearby campgrounds. The hot tub is located next to the owner's home. Guests are welcome to use this at any time but must reserve and pay for a time slot. * Book this through the Extras * We are within walking distance of Swatara State Park and close to the Appalachian Trail. Short drive to the local winery, bowling alley, pub/diner, and movie theater. Grocery stores and gas are also nearby. Miles of hiking, rail trail, single-track mountain biking, and kayaking are all right here! See our kayak and bike rentals under extras! Hershey Park is approximately a 30-minute drive from our location. Rausch Creek, Anthracite, and Reading off-road areas are also nearby. Note: Monthly rental discounts are available. Work-stay exchange programs are available. We are always looking for good reliable part-time help on the farm! Please ask! Fall leaves colors are looking awesome! Come enjoy the leaves by day and stars by night beside your campfire! Follow us on Instagram: @fairview_farms_airfield

The history of the Pump House began in 1878, when three ambitious men hatched a plan for the world's first long-distance underground oil pipeline which would transport oil from well to refinery more quickly and efficiently than the horse-drawn wagons of the time. Pumping stations were needed every fifty miles along this long route to keep pressure on the pipeline so that the oil could reach its destination. Pump House Bed and Breakfast is one of the only properties in the country in which the both the original homes of the foremen and the large brick buildings remain. Doug, owner, has spent more than 20 years lovingly restoring these foreman houses as well as the large industrial brick buildings. The Brick Barn Hall once housed steam pumps to pressurize the pipe and keep the oil moving, and the Catawissa Cabin behind it served as the telegraph office. The Studio Hall contained boilers that produced the steam to power the pumps, while the adjoining Studio Cabin functioned as a blacksmith's workspace. Today, the buildings function as reception spaces for weddings and other special events, and house private suites as well as an art studio where Doug pursues his work and teaches drawing, ceramics, and stained glass classes. The Season House, one of the two foreman homes, features additional guest accommodations while Doug resides in the other foreman house. Visit and experience a piece of PA history!

5 nights at Mulberry Acres

Everything was awesome. The little cabin stayed so warm and was the perfect size for our family of three plus our doggo! The land was beautiful. Theresa and her husband were both so kind. We loved meeting their farm of animals. And she was easy to get a hold of and easy to chat with. We will definitely be going back. The porta potty is a short walk and they are working on a bunch of upgrades in the cabin too. The emus are wonderful and sweet, we visited them multiple times a day. I could go on and on. 100% recommended for an upgraded camping experience. Look forward to trying them out in warmer weather too!

Weekend Trip to Camp Dietrich on Bear Creek

Our girls camping trip to Camp Dietrich this weekend was amazing. Scott met us upon arrival and gave us a full rundown of the campground! The checkpoint shed had everything we needed, wood was ready to buy, and the Coleman stove made cooking every meal so easy. The creek beside our campsite was absolutely magical, and yes, I even took a cold plunge. The tent was super spacious, comfy bunk beds, and the heater kept us warm all night. We hiked to the waterfalls on-site, which were unreal. Already counting down to bringing the kids this summer. Highly recommend, 10/10.

Our time in the treehouse was magical. It was my 13 year old son and I. He is 6’1” and he was able to comfortably sleep in the loft. Bill and everyone at Fairview Farms was welcoming, friendly and helpful. The stargazing was phenomenal; I highly recommend a dip in the hot tub under the stars. I would recommend bringing a heated blanket in the colder months. I brought ours and it was the perfect mix of cold and snuggly warm. There is a heater that works like a charm, with the blanket we only used it during the day.

My boyfriend, dog, and I stayed for two nights at “a creek runs through it” and had a wonderful time. Scott was incredibly friendly and helpful. If you forgot to pack something, there’s a good chance you can borrow it from the check point shed. The site itself was gorgeous and very private. You really can “be one with nature” here. I look forward to visiting again once it warms up, to fully take advantage of the creek and some swimming. Highly recommend this place. Thank you to the Dietrich’s for a wonderful experience!

3 nights at Camp Dietrich on Bear Creek

Amazing hosts and location. The campsite was clean and ready for us when we arrived, the place is very well maintained. The tent was dry and held heat well- although there's a propane heater, we didn't need it despite the temps being in the 40s at night. It rained a lot the first night but the tent remained dry thanks to the additional covering over the tent area. The foam mattresses were extremely comfortable. I live with chronic back pain and slept very well. The bedding was clean and plenty warm enough (sheets, comforter, extra large fleece blanket). There is a camping lamp provided for the tent, covered area, and bathroom. There are 4 camping chairs beneath each bed in the tent and some extra in the supply shed. I read reviews that said you really only need to bring your clothes and food...that's pretty much right. The supply shed has just about everything else you need. The place was so serene, we didn't see or hear anyone else, only the sound of the moving water. The hosts were amazing and even provided us with additional items we forgot and pumped my flat tire when we were ready to leave. I've already booked it again for next year!

Great set up! I didn’t need to bring anywhere near as much as I did, they have a lot there for you. I wish I had packed more shoes/socks because my kids played by the water and jumped around on the rocks almost the entire time. Single mom here and have to say I felt very safe/comfortable camping at this site with my 3 kids (ages 6, 10, & 12).

I had a wonderful time on this beautiful piece of land. The owners were helpful, kind, and welcoming. The pictures do not do the beauty of the water and forest justice. It’s truly a sight to behold. You will not regret staying here.

4 nights at Camp Dietrich on Bear Creek

We had a great time camping with our two Labrador retrievers at "A creek runs through it" camp site. The first thing the dogs did when we left them off the leash, was to run to the creek. We all enjoyed playing in the gentle cascading waters and their sound put us to sleep each night. We enjoyed the hiking trails that were on the property to explore. The water falls were awesome and we even took a dip in the cold spring water, cold plunge was refreshing. The private site made for a relaxing time. It was a great week but we wished we had more time here. We spent a day in Jim Thorpe and rode the train, which allowed dogs for free, each got their own ticket and the staff was super friendly with them. We look forward to coming back, Scott and Christina were great hosts, very welcoming, and had everything one would need to enjoy the great outdoors!

Weekend Trip to Fairview Farms Airfield

Bill and Erin were so helpful and friendly; you can tell they love creating a great experience for their guests. Give Yeti another hug for me when you see that giant white dog guarding the goat; he is the true g.o.a.t. Lol. The tree house is amazing. It's exactly the type of club house my husband and I wanted as kids. The loft and ladder are super sturdy; I'm over 300 pounds with a bum knee and still shimmied up into the loft to sleep on the comfy queen mattress. We stayed in last September when it was like in the 70s during the day but 50s at night, and we never felt cold in the loft. Pro-tip: the light and ceiling fan in the first floor has a remote, so don't use the light switch. Outside, under the house, is a little outdoor kitchen area with a propane griddle. That thing was so convenient. We had fresh eggs from the chickens on the property and pancakes in the morning with minimal fuss. It was such a relief after a day exploring the outdoors to just ignite that griddle for hamburgers and hot dogs instead of using my camp stove or the grate over the campfire. The fire pit did have a grate if you prefer to grill over an open flame, so options! My favorite part was nighttime. Everyone was super respectful of noise policy, so with the exterior lights off, it was us, the insects, the night birds, at least one coyote, and the stars. Pure magic.

Weekend Trip to Mulberry Acres

The land is stunning -- much of it an old field with young trees taking over and plumes of wildflowers (currently goldenrod and aster). Great bird habitat. Mowed paths made for a fine adventurous walk. The cabin's bed was very comfortable, the stove was convenient, and our hosts friendly. It was great to have such a secluded spot close to our visit to Shikellamy State Park and Bucknell.

Weekend Trip to Camp Dietrich on Bear Creek

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We stayed in Bear Creek Hideaway at Camp Dietrich and absolutely loved it! From the beautiful creekside setting to the cozy cabin, everything was perfect. The kids had a blast exploring the boulders, waterfalls, and trails, and it quickly became one of our favorite family spots. We’ll be coming back twice a year as long as we can! Highly recommend

Beautiful & easy hiking trails right off of your campsite

Weekend Trip to Camp Dietrich on Bear Creek

This was truly the BEST camping experience for our family (two adults, two kids ages 6 & 8, one dog). Everything is pristine and set up in the most thoughtful and convenient way to make camping a breeze even with little kids. Both of mine were apprehensive at best before our trip and now can't wait to go camping again! The pictures of the campsite are not even close to how stunning the area is in person. The creek runs just a few feet from the campsite and is so relaxing to listen to day and night. Scott is a gracious host and even helped us get everything onto our camp to set up when we arrived. You can drive your car right to the site, which is huge. They also provide tons of items to borrow from the shed (bowls/plates, utensils, pots/pans, toys and games, etc.) They have bags of ice, power banks, propane tanks, firewood? and some other essentials for purchase in the shed. The swimming hole and waterfall across the swinging bridge are not to be missed - words really don't even do justice to how gorgeous this whole property is. As another reviewer said, JUST BOOK IT!!

1 night at Camp Dietrich on Bear Creek

Simply outstanding location on the creek in an enchanting setting - beautiful waterfalls and wading pool all in a very private setting. Scott is truly an incredible host greeting us and going over everything in great detail to ensure we were comfortable. His communication was great before and during our stay. He even went the extra mile loaned us the use of a toddler carry backpack which made hiking a breeze with our little guy. Every thing you could need is available. Just bring your bedding and food. We were lacking for nothing. The glampsites are tasteful, serene and private. There is even a small heater available for the chilly nights. The mattresses were surprisingly comfortable which frankly I was not expecting. Cant sing enough praise for this gem in the poconos. We will keep coming back for sure! Ayaz and Sarah.

Weekend Trip to Camp Dietrich on Bear Creek

Incredible camping experience! We loved that everything was there for us including a comfy bed! The property and views were phenomenal to explore. We saw a bear on our first walk! So relaxing to be so close to the beautiful water. The whole visit was just dreamy. We’re excited to return and hope to catch the Rhododendrons in bloom. Thank you so much to Scott and Christina for sharing your land!
