Nestled along the slopes of Big Pocono State Park in Tannersville, Pennsylvania, Camelback Mountain Resort is the premier destination for four-season outdoor action and family entertainment in the Pocono Mountains.
Spanning over 166 skiable acres, two massive waterparks, and a mountain adventure park, Camelback transitions seamlessly from a winter skiing and snowtubing paradise into a summer waterpark and outdoor adventure hub.
“From carving 39 lit ski trails under the stars to riding USA Today’s #1 indoor waterpark, Camelback Mountain Resort delivers non-stop mountain excitement 365 days a year.”
Winter Action: Skiing, Snowboarding & Galactic Tubing
During the winter months, Camelback comes alive as one of Pennsylvania’s top alpine destinations:
- 39 Ski & Snowboard Trails: Ranging from gentle beginner slopes to challenging black diamonds and two full terrain parks — 100% lit for night skiing.
- America’s Largest Snowtubing Park: Featuring 40+ high-speed tubing lanes serviced by two magic carpet lifts. At night, the tubing park transforms with Galactic Snowtubing, complete with music and an immersive LED light show.
