Camelback Mountain Resort | Family Resort Guide

Kiddometer Family Fit

Family First

A genuine four-season resort in the Poconos with a real base village, an indoor water park on-site, and kids' lessons from age 4 -- a strong pick for Philly/NYC-area families wanting more than just a day hill.

Camelback Mountain Resort in the Poconos pairs real ski terrain with a full resort experience -- lodging, an indoor water park, and a proper Ski & Ride Academy for kids.

Camelback is one of the more built-out Pocono resorts -- alongside the mountain itself (166 skiable acres, 12 lifts), it has an on-site indoor water park (Camelback Lodge & Aquatopia) and enough lodging/dining to function as a genuine weekend resort rather than just a day-trip hill, which sets it apart from smaller regional areas like Campgaw or Mountain Creek. The Ski & Ride Academy takes children from age 4. With 39% beginner-rated terrain, it leans toward approachable skiing, making it a reasonable first real "resort trip" for Philly- or NYC-area families who want more than a single day on snow.
