We can’t wait to experience après ski here.Ĭamelback Mountain Adventures has a number of other adrenaline-pumping activities such as the Treetops Adventure Courses (100-plus aerial obstacles), 4000-foot Twin Flyers ziplines, 1000-foot dual ziplines, Pennsylvania’s only Mountain Coaster, and Mountain Segway Tours. The Lodge’s ski-in/ski-out restaurant and pub, Trail’s End, has an outdoor patio for mountainside dining and outdoor firepits. The new Camelback Lodge offers ski-in/ski-out access, the only such accommodations in the Poconos. When the weather turns cold and the Pocono Mountains get blanketed with snow, Camelback Mountain’s Ski Resort gears up for family skiing, riding and snowtubing at the country’s largest snowtube park boasting 42 lanes. In addition to its highly-praised Aquatopia waterpark ( USA Today recently called it the “Best Indoor Waterpark in the Country” on its “Ten Best” list), Camelback Mountain Resort boasts Pennsylvania’s largest outdoor waterpark, Camelbeach.Īlthough we didn’t try every one of Camelbeach’s slides and attractions, we can personally attest to the park’s claim that their 37 “rides, slides, and attractions range from mild to wild.” An interesting feature of Camelback’s Aquatopia is actually its roof -– it is made with Texlon, a transparent material that allows for year-round tanning in a comfortable, continuously-maintained 84 ✯.

The resort with the most varied offerings is Camelback Mountain.

What differentiates these resorts are the activities and attractions beyond the waterparks, which in turn determines the resorts’ target audiences. Families will experience great family dining options at each of the resorts. All of the resorts offer both adult and kids’ spas and cavernous family game rooms, as well as mini golf and various other attractions.

FlowRiders offer a unique surfing or boogie boarding experience, but are not really for the timid. Camelback and Kalahari both have FlowRiders. The resorts all have large, exciting waterparks with a wide variety of water slides, lazy rivers, family hot tubs, and wave pools (Kalahari’s wave pool is scheduled to open with the resort’s Phase II development in the spring of 2017). But we found that each of these resorts has carved out a particular niche that will be attractive to different families and their particular needs and desires for a great family getaway.Īll three of the resorts have attractive accommodations with a variety of suite configurations that will suit any family. Some might think that having three indoor waterpark resorts within just a few minutes’ drive of each other is redundant. Three waterpark resorts – which one to choose? Almost overnight, the Pocono Mountain region has become a major player in family indoor waterpark resorts, as Camelback Lodge and its Aquatopia Indoor Waterpark and Kalahari Resorts and Conventions opened in 2015, joining Great Wolf Lodge, which opened in 2005.
