Camelback Mountain
Overview
Located in Tannersville in Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains, Camelback is one of the region’s busiest destination resorts. Its 166 skiable acres spread across a broad mountainside, with trails for beginners, intermediates, and advanced skiers and snowboarders. The mountain’s proximity to Philadelphia, New Jersey, and New York makes weekends especially popular, while its extensive evening operations give visitors another option for getting on the slopes.
Camelback relies on snowmaking to maintain coverage through the variable winters of eastern Pennsylvania. A mix of shorter learning slopes and longer top-to-bottom runs gives the mountain considerable variety, and detachable chairlifts provide access to the upper mountain. The resort also offers ski and snowboard lessons, equipment rentals, and freestyle features when conditions permit.
Snow tubing is another major attraction. Camelback operates more than 40 tubing lanes with conveyor lifts, offering daytime and evening sessions. The resort’s family-oriented facilities extend well beyond the slopes: Camelback Lodge provides on-site accommodations and access to Aquatopia, a large indoor water park that operates throughout the year.
Visitors can stay at Camelback Lodge, which offers slopeside accommodations, restaurants, and access to the Aquatopia indoor water park. Additional hotels, vacation rentals, and dining options are available throughout the surrounding Pocono Mountains.
