To stretch the fun to last the whole year, the resort’s undergone a succession of expansions. For example, the site has two waterparks: Camelback Mountain Waterpark (the largest outdoor one in Pennsylvania) and the indoor Aquatopia in Camelback Lodge (voted #1 by USA Today, ahead of Great Wolf Lodge and Kalahari).

Ziplines, Alpine Coaster and More!

Friends who live in Colorado have been telling me for years how great alpine coasters are so I’m really excited to take a spin on the one at Camelback Mountain Adventures. Photo credit: Camelback Resort

  • Double Barrel 1,000-foot Ziplines 
  • Pennsylvania’s only mountain coaster, the Appalachian Express Mountain Coaster
  • 4,000-foot Zip-Flyer, Pennsylvania’s longest zipline that lets you zip next to your bestie!
  • Mountain Segway Tours
  • TreeTops Adventure Course and Kids TreeTops Little Explorer Course.

Camelback Lodge Room Renovations

Sure. You could head to Camelback Resort for a day of fun. But you have the option to extend the fun with an overnight stay at Camelback Lodge. The 453 guest suites at the Lodge feature rustic furnishings paired with colorful fabrics to bring a playful feel to each of the 16 different room configurations. Large condo units with kitchens are ideal for families who want the feel of a home away from home during their vacation.

Indoor Fun at Camelback Lodge

After you finish your outdoor adventures on the mountain, you can continue the party at Camelback Lodge. Aquatopia Indoor Waterpark has 13 water slides and a massive transparent roof to make the indoors feel, well, outdoors. Rent a cabana for a VIP day at the park.

Water parks not your thing? Then try the Lodge’s bumper cars, laser tags or puzzle your way out of the new Game of Stones Escape Room.

Manage the Camelback Fun with an App

Keep track of your reservations, tickets and more with the new Camelback Resort app. Available for IOS and Android, the app provides real time information about happenings around the resort. Make a dinner reservation at Berelli’s Italian Chophouse, then book a Mountain Segway tour.
