"blast for the family"
I have heard so many great things of this place but have never been there so I thought to take my family there and WOW it was amazing and my family had a awesome time. I recommend this to everyone that is looking to get away. I was shoked by all the things to do there. So many things for the entire family to do and enjoy. I can not express the great atmosphere of the people and the park in general. I will be sure and come back again for sure.

"Great for families, any season!"
I lived in this area as a teenager and now visit with my kids...we all love the water park area in warm weather, tubing and winter sports in the cold. Plenty of beautiful areas to hike around and tour, just something for everyone no matter age or activity preference!

"Waterpark is great fun"
Camelbeach Waterpark is a great activity if you're vacationing in this area. We have done it twice now with our kids who are 10,8 and 4. Lots for them to do even though the waterpark is small -- but that was fine with us.
We spent the day there and easily had enough to do. Places for smaller kids as well as things for older, more daring kids to do. Wave pool, various slides, a play place with a big dumping bucket, regular pool, etc. There are hotels in the area, but it is also do-able to drive from the Philadelphia area to make it a (long) day trip.

"Quiet Water Park"
This is a great quiet little water park. There's a lot ot do for everyone the teenager, mom and dad and the toddlers. They have a lazy river, some nice water slides and a wave pool as well as some other attractions. The park is small but has a lot to offer.

"Fun with the Family"
The Camelback Ski Area is worth a stop in any season. In winter Camelback is one of the Pocono’s largest ski resorts, with thirty-three trails, thirteen lifts, and a vertical drop of 800 feet. One of the newer additions is snowtubing, a great family activity. There’s a full-scale ski program where children ages four to twelve can spend the day learning to ski or snowboard.
From May until the end of fall, Camelback transforms from a ski resort to Camelbeach Waterpark, with eight waterslides, an action river, swimming pool, kids’ play area, miniature golf, an alpine slide, and more. Ride the chairlift to the top of the mountain, enjoy the view of the Pocono Mountains, and take the alpine slide down. Buy a full ticket and enjoy the waterpark attractions all day. There’s also a summer day-camp program at the facility kids ages five to twelve can sign up for a day, a week, or the whole summer.

"Watch out....!"
The mountain trails themselves are pretty good. For the beginners, you will find some of the beginner trails a challenge, they are much steaper then they should be with this rating. Also, if you are an avid skier, you know ski boots can make or break your day. This ski area DOES NOT CARRY 1/2 sizes, so if you are a half size you will be uncomfortable, either the boots will be too big and sloppy on the feet or too small and your legs will ache pretty quickly. Down the road is a couple of ski shops that rent equipment for $20 which is a $12 to $18 savings over Camelbacks rates. They are open past the close of the mountain to return gear, this is a much better deal. The staff is 50/50 when it comes to demeanor. Remember, most of these places are run by teenagers and thus not exactly service oriented. Watch the times you go, I suggest the evenings, here the evenings are from 3pm to close. When school it out, the buses are abundant and lines very long. The buses start to leave late afternoon, so the evening sessions will get you more runs. Parking, be prepared to hike, I suggest dropping your party at the lodge and only one of you make the long trek to the back parking lot. The shuttles run every 15min, but fill quickly, it's easier to have one person go with the car then the whole family. This is my second time this year, same experience both times.
