    A day at the waterpark
    Tamiko D.

    I had an amazing day at Camelback waterpark. I rented a cabana for the day we were on the second floor out the way we had our own private Waiters and there was no waiting in line for anything to eat or drink. I definitely recommend this for any family looking for a quick staycation.

    We really enjoyed our weekend at this resort. My daughter really wanted to go to an amusement or water park to celebrate her birthday. After looking through the different parks and resorts in the Tri-state and PA area we chose Camelback because of the resort being dog-friendly which is unfortunately rare. We arrived early to make the day of the waterpark use. Didn't expect to be able to check-in early however we were greeted so warmly by the receptionist Badiyah (I apologize if I misspelled her name). She was exceptional and gifted my daughter with a small upgrade in addition to early check in. The customer service she provided really went above and beyond. The room was spacious and included 2 bedrooms, 3 beds and 3 tvs. Because we were checking in with a dog she gave us the option of a room near the pet relief area which was so thoughtful! The fridge in the room wouldn't close so it wasn't functioning well, but that wasn't a big deal because I travel with a cooler. The indoor waterpark kept the kids busy. They enjoyed the different water slides. We just wished that the one ride that goes out of the building was open. We enjoyed the jacuzzi and liked the idea of it being both in and outside of the resort. Relaxing in the jacuzzi with the view of the mountain and the cold air breeze was relaxing! The swim up bar was a plus. We even saw some deer during our evening walk! Definitely would will come back during the winter.

    easy check in modern rooms average parking ( very busy ). so much at the resort to do food water parks shopping events for kids . highly recommended for summer fun at both the indoor and outdoor water parks and relaxing comfort at the hotel

    This is the room they assigned us. No housekeeping to be found.

    0 stars -- Extremely disappointing and awful, dirty, stressful experience for lodging at Aquatopia on March 30, 2026. I've stayed at Camelback Resort / Aquatopia several times before and always had great experiences, which made this visit even more shocking. I booked a one-night stay months in advance (back in November) to celebrate my daughter's birthday. I arrived around 12:30 PM on March 30, 2026, with six children and was told I'd receive a text when our room was ready. That text never came. Around 5:00 PM, I checked in again and was told the room would be ready in 10 minutes. I went up about 35 minutes later--only to find the room hadn't been cleaned at all. I then received a check-in confirmation text at 6:31 PM, but the room was still dirty. I went back to the front desk, waited again, and was told we were now "top priority" and should go to dinner while they finished preparing the room. After returning around 9:30 PM, the room still wasn't ready, and no one could give me a clear timeline. By 10:00 PM, we were essentially told to just keep waiting--with six kids and no place to go. To make matters worse, there was little to no urgency or accountability from management. The front desk employee was kind but clearly overwhelmed, and it was obvious this situation was bigger than her. There were multiple families in the lobby in the same situation--waiting late into the night with children and no rooms available. I also saw many families leaving with their suitcases. At that point, with no clean room, no answers, and no safe or reasonable option, I made the difficult decision to leave and drive two hours home late at night with six children. My daughter's birthday celebration was completely ruined. I also reached out to the resort via Instagram the following day (and again the day after, and again today), shared photos, and left my contact information--but received no response, other than an DM on Instagram stating I will be contacted. I have also left reviews from their survey, as well as sent an email last night, still no response. Beyond the inconvenience, this raises serious concerns about cleanliness and overall management. Being given a dirty, unprepared room at that hour is unacceptable. I am still waiting for: Anyone to contact me from Camelback! Also, I am requesting a full refund and clear communication from management as well as them accepting accountability for how this situation was handled. This was an incredibly disappointing experience, especially for what was supposed to be a special occasion. I truly hope the resort takes steps to improve both their operations and customer service moving forward. I also hope they make it right for my family.

    We just got back from a six-day ski trip. We stayed at this resort two years ago and had a great experience, which is why we chose to return. Unfortunately, this stay was very disappointing. Check-in was at 4:00 PM, but even though we arrived slightly early just in case, our room was not ready until after 5:00 PM--and only after we complained multiple times. We were initially told that rooms are pre-assigned and cannot be changed, yet after speaking with a manager, our room was changed anyway. The hotel also refused to hold our luggage until we had a room, leaving us sitting in the lobby with five suitcases and three children. When we finally got to the room, it smelled strongly of wet dog/ mildew . We used the text request system , as they asked us to ,to ask for pillows, blankets for the pullout couch, and room spray, but received no response. After speaking with housekeeping, we were told the items would be brought, but nothing arrived. Two hours later, we found another housekeeping staff member who eventually came to the room--only to deliver two towels and one blanket, and told us to go to the front desk for the rest. We went to Trails End for dinner around 5:30 PM and were quoted a 45-minute wait, which turned into over an hour and a half. Once again, we had to be persistent just to find out when our table would be ready. The food was about what we expected based on our experience with the resort so far. When we returned to the room around 9:00 PM and attempted to shower, there was no hot water. Through the text system, housekeeping said the hot water system was down for the entire hotel, but the front desk told us the lack of hot water was due to everyone showering at the same time. On our third day, we called to request housekeeping service and specifically told them we would be out of the room with our children for several hours. We were assured the room would be cleaned. However, we returned from skiing to find the room still not cleaned--and once again, no hot water. We went to the front desk to ask about the lack of housekeeping and were then told that cleaning is only done between 4:00-6:00 PM, and that housekeeping should have informed us of this. We said that was fine and took the kids out to dinner so housekeeping could come. When we returned around 7:00 PM, the room still had not been cleaned. We spoke with the front desk manager, Ben, who promised the room would be cleaned the next day. We left and returned later, only to find it still had not been cleaned. We went back to the front desk and waited again to speak with Ben. Throughout our stay, we were consistently given the runaround by both staff and management. No one followed through on what they said they would do, and we had to ask multiple times for even basic requests--often without success. On top of all of this, the rooms were extremely dirty and outdated, with a strong mildew smell and dust everywhere. Our bathroom also had blackish mildew/mold throughout the shower that came off when touched. Overall, we are extremely disappointed and unfortunately won't be back, which is sad because the grounds are beautiful.This review comes from a family that travels every few months.

    This is a small taste of the filth.

    Dirtiest place you'll ever go! Dust bunnies the size of rats, the room was filthy, they promote events then cancel them the night before with sale explanation. The best is you contact them and they don't even respond.

    I write this review knowing it's a destination resort and everyone goes for the mountain or water park. But. We arrived to mayhem in the front of cars parked sideways and across all lanes and rude attendants. If that was not bad enough the garbage cans were overflowing foreshadowing our stay. Check in and out was horrible. Long lines with not enough staff. As we walked to our room and everytime we walked down the hall the odor of burnt marijuana filled the building. Once inside the room we noticed the disrepair of the tiles and pant and molding and furniture. Upon checking in our rooms sliding door was unlocked which could have welcomed unwanted visitors glad we checked. Looking at the full coffee pot of maybe month old coffee wasn't a welcomed sight. The water park was fun and had a lot of attractions. The wave pool was nice until someone pooped in it. Snow tubing was nice but unorganized with tubes all over the place forcing you to drag your tube over 50 unused ones. Very dangerous. All in all it was not a great stay and we are going to look at the surrounding resorts going forward.

    Dear Camelback Resort, I am young, and have never written a review before, however, this resort was absolutely horrendous to the point that I felt obligated to leave a review. Came here at 4 o'clock- which is when they told us to come here, but we were sent back to wait 2 and a half hours in our car (where we had to fight for a parking spot because there's only 100 spots in a 1000 person resort.) We waited all that time for our room to be cleaned, only to come in and be met with kids squishy toys scattered around the room, and a huge red wine stain in front of the refrigerator. Clearly, there used to be a clothes line across the shower- which was removed, and the holes were patched with silicone- which is disgusting, lazy, and overall very disappointing. There was mold in our sink. The food was atrociously overpriced. We ordered from a nearby fast food restaurant, and went downstairs to grab the food and saw 5-10 cops and a woman who seemed to have been robbed. One of the beds had no sheet, and the blanket was ripped. Teenagers having a loud party, door wide open, alcohol open. It's chaos here. Aquatopia had good rides- However, it was FILTHY. The hot tub smelt like diapers. The waterpark didn't have that chlorine waterpark smell. The staff are all teenagers so they don't check wristbands or follow any form of safety precautions. Litter floating around in every body of water. Arcade had underwear on the machines. The people here are disrespectful. I got hit in the face at the lazy river. There was a turd on the floor of the waterpark. Multiple broken stairs. "Surprise" fees. This has to be one of the most hazardous parks ever. If I could rate negatives I 110% would. This is completely outrageous. Take this review as a warning to NEVER BRING YOUR FAMILY HERE!!!!

    I'll tell you this overcrowded overbooked rooms. Food was horrible went to the manager said I was gonna get a refill. We'll see what happens and that people be aware because the food was not good. Pizza was made horribly. I'll even show you guys pictures not worth what they're charging just overall bad experience. also selling expired food too.

    Nothing special.

    How much is it for a day pass for kids 12 and under & one adult?

    No day passes here. You have to be a hotel guest to have access to the indoor water park. The outdoor one sells day passes though.

The hotel is actually smaller and easier to navigate than I had expected. It's only 3 floors, so even though elevators tend to have a wait you can use the stairs to get around which is nice. It's also a short walk from rooms to activities and restaurants. Things I loved - + The cozy lobby with a roaring fireplace and gorgeous Christmas decor + The kids nook in the room that had bunk beds and a tv + The kiddie slide area at the pool + The gift shop which had a lot of great toys, a build a bear and a candy store + That the pool area has a bar. + Fun activities outside of the pool like bowling, arcade, mini golf and the magic quest scavenger hunt + Dunkin' Donuts + A cute dance party for the kids at night in the lobby Things that were meh - + The pool area was so unkempt. Chairs are packed in on top of each other. Staff needs to do a better job of clearing out old towels, life vests and garbage from chairs. It's gross to have to walk by the same old pizza box for hours. Staff can easily do better with this. + I wish they had more activities on a Saturday morning. We saw a schedule that had morning activities on some other days, like a meet and greet with the wolf and yoga. Surprised to see nothing on a Saturday. I also wish the pool opened at 8 instead of 10! + Fireside restaurant. Mediocre food and high prices are definitely not surprising here though. Overall - something fun and different, and definitely worth checking out for a change of scenery. But if you can swing going during a quiet week I'd definitely encourage to avoid crowds.

We checked into the hotel, which was busy and crowded, but they have kiosks to make check-in faster (although annoyingly, the first wristbands we got from the kiosk didn't work, so we had to return to the front desk--you use the wristbands to unlock your room, enter the water park, make room charges, etc.). We had dinner at the buffet--totally fine, serviceable, what you'd expect at a family resort. (I've had worse food at a family resort--e.g., Legoland in upstate New York.) The room was big, but dated and not very "fancy." It was also not soundproofed well; we could hear kids running upstairs (but luckily we are good sleepers, and we got good rest). We went to the water park the next morning at 10, stayed for about two to three hours, and had a great time. It wasn't too crowded at this time, and we didn't have long waits for any of the slides--which were a nice mix of fun, slightly scary, but not TOO scary. The water in the pools was quite warm, as was the air temperature--they heat it to 84, I believe. By the time we left, it was crowded, and most chairs and loungers were taken. Tips: go early to the water park (at opening), bring snacks and drinks of your own if you want (theirs are not cheap, and consider bringing your own beach towels (the ones they provide are thin). Overall, Great Wolf Lodge is good family fun. But it's crowded and not high-end, so keep your expectations reasonable, and you will have a good time.

Whether it was the thrilling rides or the relaxing wave pool, there was always something to keep the whole family entertained. One standout feature of our trip was the food.

We've been to all the water parks in the area during the winter and this was definitely the coldest. Overall, the kids had a blast but don't come in the water unless you like cold showers and waterslides.
