Camelback Mountain Resort Resort Reviews

I took my boys for the end of the season on their spring break and crammed in two days of skiing, snow tubing and the water park in 36 hours. What little twisting was left was really fun and I’m grateful to management for extending the season when all other mountains around closed weeks ago. 5 trails and the tubing park were open which is big for April in Pennsylvania. There was a massive amount of snow on Nile Mile and Cliffhanger. I recommend Camelback for those who like thrilling rides (mountain coaster and waterpark) and those looking for family fun.

• Good Skiing, Snow Tubing, Waterpark, very courteous staff at the hotel and in the mountain Good Spring Conditions
• Crowded hotel - mostly there for the water park

Arrived at 9am on a Saturday. Premium parking lots were already full. Parked down near the lower base. Nobody working by the ticket kiosks to offer assistance to those not knowing what to do. They only had 4 lifts operating. Lift lines were INSANELY LONG. Didn’t appear to many employees working throughout the resort. All areas of the lodge and adjoining restaurants were PACKED. Nowhere to sit. I will not be returning to Camelback.

• Proximity to NYC
• LONG lift lines, multiple lifts closed, lodges packed - nowhere to sit for lunch.

Not enough people working so a lot of lifts are closed resulting in very long lines especially during weekends. They say they can't find people to work the lifts and that starting salary is supposedly $20/hr. However, you only see one job ad for it in their careers page on their website! Sounds like typical corporate cash grab where you don't get what you pay for if you ask me. Rest assured I ain't ever coming back!

• Close to me
• Lift lines extremely long due to not enough lifts open

After nearly three weeks of perfect snow making weather only about half of the mountain was open. Only one lift operating to the top of the mountain. Line was predictability very long as a result. Snow was made at the Trails End section of the mountain which made it appear almost ready to open on the web cam, but that was the only spot where they made snow over there. Don't waste your time on a weekend. We called it after about three hours.

• Not much. Nice mountain when fully open.
• Only one lift to top of mountain.

They need more security snd maintenance people working!!! And they should not allow music to be blasting in the cafeteria, it’s not nice for all other families. People are leaving because they’re annoyed. Camelback ski is going bad, I have been coming here since I was 10 years old I’m 34 years old now.

• Fun ski trails and good variety of trails
• Lifts are too long!! The cafeteria allows customers to blast music so everyone is has to suffer listening to loud techno music!! It’s really not relaxing and there’s no security to manage this.

We had a party of 8 today for snow tubing. Their pricing was $70 per person. With the lines today we were only able to go down the hill 2 times. The first time one of us stopped half way down the hill and had to walk the rest of the way. They also had the snow machines on blowing in our faces while waiting an hour to go down the hill. It was a terrible experience, waste of money and I would never go there for snow tubing again.

• Snow tubing, expensive, long lines.

Been going to camelback for over 40 yrs., and I can safely say it will be the last time I go skiing there. They just raised the early season passes for 2022-2023 season to $629.00. That’s up a hundred bucks from last year. Between the parking, lunch, and drinks, it’s no longer enjoyable being bleed dry every time I go up there. You can thank the new ownership for that.

• Descent snow conditions in the morning only
• Disgustingly overpriced

The Overview is out of date on parking fees. Prices to park are $12, up to a whopping $50 on the weekend, on top of the expensive ticket price. Crowded lift lines, with lots of newbies skiing and boarding recklessly. The "resort hotel" and water park are the new priority at Camelback, and snow sports are now low, low, low on the list. So sad, it used to be a well managed place, now greed rules the day. Spend your hard earned $ elsewhere - plenty of choices nearby.

• Few
• Expensive parking, crowded lifts, small size

It took more than 2 hours to buy tickets and rent the ski equipments. I even had to wait for the equipment return. WTF. Parking wasn’t free and everything was so price. Which I don’t care if the service was better than horrible.

• Under staff. Technical problems. Extremely slow for purchasing ticket and renting equipments.

Just at camelback this past weekend to snow tube. Nobody was social distancing they let way too many people at the top. Way overcrowded very disappointed

• None
