Hold onto your hats and mittens, folks, because we’re zooming into Camelback Resort in Tannersville, Pennsylvania – recently crowned as the king of the hill in USA Today’s 10 Best Readers’ Choice Awards for 2023 for snow tubing. Yes, you read that right, numero uno in the country!
Nestled in the stunning Pocono Mountains, Camelback isn’t just another dot on the map. It’s a mere stone’s throw from New York City (90 minutes, if you’re counting) and a hop, skip, and a jump away from Philadelphia (that’s two hours for the non-hopscotchers).
What’s the big fuss about, you ask? Well, Camelback Resort is home to a snow tubing park that’s so big, it could have its own zip code. We’re talking more than 40 lanes of pure, unadulterated sliding bliss. And let’s not forget the Galactic Tubing – a nighttime extravaganza with disco lights and music that’ll make you feel like you’re sliding through a neon-lit winter wonderland.
But wait, there’s more! The resort’s been busy bees, buzzing away with improvements for the 2022-2023 winter season. Say hello to Black Bear 6, the new high-speed lift that’s like the Ferrari of ski lifts, and an expanded terrain park that’s sure to get snowboarders and skiers grinning from ear to ear.
Oh, and if you’re thinking, “What about snow?” Camelback’s got you covered (quite literally) with a snowmaking system that’s like a snow factory on steroids, ensuring those slopes are always ready for action.
For the learners and the pros, the Camelback Ski & Ride Academy offers ski and snowboard lessons for all levels. They’ve even teamed up with the Pennsylvania Center for Adapted Sports for an adaptive skiing and snowboarding program – because snow fun should be for everyone!
If you’re thinking of staying over, the Camelback Lodge is the only ski-in/ski-out resort in the Poconos, with 453 swanky suites. And for the water lovers, there’s the Aquatopia Indoor Waterpark, voted #1 by USA Today readers. They’ve recently added the Mountain Mayhem immersive slide, which is pretty much a water slide on an epic scale.
Hungry? You won’t be for long. From grab-and-go to fine dining, they’ve got everything from Big Pocono Family Eatery to the upscale Berrelli’s Italian Chophouse. And for the coffee connoisseurs, there’s Café & Bar La Colombe.
Camelback Resort isn’t just a winter wonderland – it’s an all-year-round adventure playground, with Camelback Mountain Adventures, ziplining, an alpine mountain coaster, and Camelbeach Mountain Waterpark, Pennsylvania’s biggest outdoor waterpark.
