    Location of this place is amazing for the views you get. The food was not good. Service was just basic for what you pay to stay here. The upkeep of this place is the worse. Checkin is BUSY. They seem to be well staffed. We came in from a long drive. Checkin is at 4, we got there at 5ish. Room was not ready. We came as part of a wedding group. Informed the lady of such as we needed to get ready for rehearsal that was to start soon. She then spoke with a manager who did the inspection of the room supposedly sooner so that we can get ready. Check-out is at 11. We were told we could not request late checkout until the morning of. We called the morning of and was told we were not able to get it as the hotel was nearly fully booked. They need to prep for incoming guests. That's fine but if this is the case, I expect my room to be clean and ready at check-in time. This place is kid overload. I love the kids but this place is not really made for adults without children. Mind you, I came for the wedding and we chose what was most convenient for access to the wedding functions. I experienced this so you can know what to expect. It wasn't just that the lobby was so loud, kudos to the noise from the lobby not carrying to our 3rd floor. The noise came from the neighbors slamming doors mutiple times throughout the night and early morning and big kids running in the hallways. Inside the room: my friend felt the room smelled like urine. Dogs are allowed. I smelled cleaned and I never got the urine smell. The toilet got stopped up. It took a while to get someone up to look at it. We also reported the tub was back flowing. The maintenance guy was very nice. I asked what was in the tub and his response was, "You really don't want to know". The tub is supposed to get cleaned at least after each guest leaves so why is this not part of "the inspection"? The carpet is cut, there was sealant visible at the sink/vanity area. We noticed what look like blood stain on the curtain the day we left, both the carpet and tub are stained. Carpet definitely need to be replaced The bed was comfortable, nice size TV, and room stayes cool. The fire alarm sounded for a few hours the 2nd day there, mid morning, but was taken care of fairly quickly. The wedding venue was beautiful. The wedding was outside. We were told the bride and groom asked that we not take pictures because that's what the photographers were far. Well they did not request that. There were two photographers. They are employed by the venue. At no point should there not be a photographer present during the ceremony and the reception. During the reception, they both disappeared and part of the program had to be paused to look for them. This place gets a 2 because location is great, the mountain view is breathtaking, the pool looks great for children and it is indoors, and the size of the rooms are spacious. They also offer discounts for the excursions. As a guest of the hotel, parking is free and access to the pool area. For the amount load to stay here per night, I at least expect 4 star treatment.

    This was the last stop for my Fourth of July, Happy Birthday America 250!! trip. The adventure park truly offered a variety of activities for everyone; zipling, mountain coaster, mountain bike adventure, golf, ski resort in winter, sun tubing, and anything else I missed!!! My main reason for the visit, was the mountain coaster. The mountain coaster being my 5th one, was well worth, leaving it as my last stop. The adventure itself, 4 minute ride in total; longest and fastest I've been on, once you get to the top, be prepared, because you will fly , 30 miles per hour and get the best thrill and adrenaline rush... Check out the mountain coaster, you'll be amazed .

    Here's the Scoop! We revisited Camelba Resort to celebrate our Anniversary. This was one of our first dates before we married. We stayed in a King Suite which had a fireplace, balcony that overlooked the mountains and mini kitchen. It was a beautiful and comfortable Suite with 2 full bathrooms . Queen pull out couch . Suite can sleep 4 comfortably. We stayed for 3 nights -4 days. There's lots to do at the resort if it rains and you can't go to the outdoor Waterpark. There's Aquatopia an indoor waterpark, bowling, bumper cars, laser tag, game room and youth disco in the evening. There are restaurants also at the hotel and surrounding areas. Large Mail about 10 minutes from the hotel that looks like Tangers in Riverhead, NY. Plenty of entertainment. It's also dog friendly and has a special area equipped with bags to walk your dog in. Valet service is excellent. Parking is not free and costs $25 a day which I was appalled with. Breakfast buffet in lobby was fabulous . Registered guests should have free parking. The room service was very friendly and quick. Our room was beautifully cleaned. Check in was a little long but a received a discount for having to wait to check in after 4pm. Overall for such a busy location our stay was wonderful. The views alone from our balcony were breathtaking. I would definitely go back again . This is our first Summer visit. Our first time was Valentine's Dat weekend. If you enjoy outdoor sports like skiing and water parks this is the place for you.

    Sigh i hate to write this but i must. First off my family loves Camelback! This was our third time there and the other trips were good but this one left me disappointed. We had the normal 4pm check in and arrived at 6pm from out 2 hr drive and quick dinner grab. When we got there the check in line was sooooo long and only 3 front desk people were there to assist with check in so it took at least an hour just to get to the desk. Then once we got there they had the audacity to say our ROOM was NOT READY yet!!!!!!! Like how??? It was after 6pm!!! I had to take my boys to the changing rooms in the indoor waterpark to change just so they could get some time in the waterpark!! It closes at 8:00pm!! A bit too early to me for an indoor waterpark in the summer months! I was so annoyed! Once we finally get our room around 7:30 the room was not cleaned well. I had a dirty pillow case, spots on the shower curtains and sheets. A huge red stain on the carpet. U could tell it was rushed but we waited 3 hrs for a less than clean room. In terms of Aquatopia waterpark it could use some upgrades. The little basketball water area no longer had hoops. The lazy river which is my fav attraction had little to NO floats!!!! The little they had were deflated!! How are u suppose to float down a lazy river with no floats?!?! Its like they didnt even care when i asked them about it! I am sharing this because Camelback is not cheap at all! We stayed for 2 nights costing close to $1,000 for our family suite so i kinda expect certain things to be decent at the very least. This place use to be top notch and now it seems because they know they are bringing in a lot of money they simply dont care about service and thats sad because my kids love this place. I think we are gonna take a break. If i can give one cool thing is the 8pm dance parties in the lobby for the kids! Its very cute. A live DJ and someone selling glow lights. The kids really enjoyed that. I truly hope someone from management reads this. Improving on certain things can make a huge difference.

    3 weeks ago me and my family held our family reunion here. When we came to check in it was exhausting . We were in the line for over an hour . Some of our family 3 hours . The staff was very kind which I appreciated . But the morning of we found a roach on our counter granted it's a water park so the moistness can lead to bugs but not okay . T We went to the buffet (super expensive $27 per person ) and when we first went they didn't have signs that showed what was in what . So the eggs didn't have a sign . So I just chose whatever eggs and I have a dairy allergy . I then started to react and realized there was cheese in the eggs . The next day we came it had the signs of Whats in what . Our formal and the staff that helped our family we loved them . They were one of the best things about our trip . The indoor park was fun I enjoyed it . I wouldn't come back honestly but there were some good things about here .

    We went here for mid winter break. It was not as crowded as I thought it was going to be. We stayed for 2 nights and also enjoyed the arcade they had there. The rooms are spacious, closet space was minimal. I would recommend if you dont want to eat at their restaurant you can door dash food to the hotel. Major plus!! Overall we had a great time here. My family loved it and I will be going back again. The outside sauna is amazing and so cozy!!! Check in was quick and easy. They even hold your belongings until the room is read

    Just got back from a 3 day staff at Camelbeach, and I have mixed feelings. Our stay included the outdoor water park which was a plus, so we got to do both indoor and outdoor on separate days. The outdoor park was awesome, friendly staff, short lines. The biggest let down of that part was the absolutely disgusting bathrooms and changing areas. The food looked good, but we focused our time on enjoying the slides and most of the food places were closed by the time we were ready to go. As for the indoor park, there are not enough tubes leaving people cutting in front of you to steal tubes to go on the slides with and no regulation. The only plus were short lines. The lazy river had awesome theming, but again maybe 10 tubes? So mostly everyone was just swimming around it which is crazy to me and something I've never seen before at a water park. The overall food selection was lack luster to say the least. We waited over 30 mins for our meal at the burger place in the indoor water park, as did many others. At one point a bunch of food was piling up and no one there to dish it out until a customer said something. The swim up bar was nice and the drinks good, however, I waited over 30 mins for an espresso drink and no compensation. I guess I could've complained, but I was just annoyed and over it. At the ice cream shack inside, I tried to order a milk shake for my husband and the kid looked around and said "we don't serve milkshakes after 8pm," but then a few younger kids came in after us and proceeded to order milk shakes. Not sure what that was all about, definitely felt discrimination on that one, and was going to complain but my husband stopped me. The arcade was pretty decent and all of the staff friendly and helpful especially with some of the games that ripped us off they made it right quickly. We also got an unlimited chance to do the bowling, darts, 3d ride, bumper cars, and mirror maze which my kids enjoyed. Our room price wasn't terrible and the room ready on time. On the surface it seemed clean, but upon further inspection, there were stains on the floor, a sticky spot, graffiti under the bunk beds from prior people, and an old sock. The beds themselves were clean, so I dealt with it because I've been to worse. It's kind of ridiculous also that they charge for parking, and you really have no choice. Overall, our stay was underwhelming and probably won't be back. We've been to kalahari several times and despite it being more expensive, it is worth it.

    A day at the waterpark

    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.

    The Critical J.

    PROS: this place is wonderful! They have skiing, snowboarding, and snow tubing! Staff is friendly, many time slots available, and they have food CONS: there is no lodge to sit in and wait for your friends to be done skiing. It's overpriced as snow tubing is $90 on the weekends. OVERALL: I only recommend coming here if you don't mind spending a ton of money and if you're not going for the ski lodge

    I rarely leave reviews, but this experience was bad enough that I feel obligated to warn other families. After driving nearly 5 hours with three small children, we arrived at Camelback excited for a fun getaway. Check-in was at 4 PM. We got there around 6 PM and were told our room was ready, only to walk into a dirty, completely unprepared room. At that point, I had to drag my kids and luggage back downstairs and start the waiting game all over again. We didn't get into a usable room until around 8 PM. That's four hours past check-in and two hours after arrival. Our entire first day was essentially wasted. And unfortunately, it only went downhill from there. The room we were finally given had no towels, missing bedding, floors that clearly hadn't been vacuumed, and dust throughout. The next day there was no housekeeping at all. We left multiple times and came back to the same trash, the same mess, and nothing touched. To make matters worse, bugs were coming out of the HVAC system, which is honestly unacceptable at any hotel, let alone a resort charging these prices. The waterpark is the only reason this isn't a zero-star review. My kids found some enjoyment, but even that area felt dirty and poorly maintained. Staff were hit or miss, with several being inattentive and some just plain rude. Yes, it was spring break, so I expected crowds. What I didn't expect was a complete lack of preparation, cleanliness, and basic hospitality. That's the difference between an average resort and one that actually cares about guest experience. For comparison, we've stayed at Kalahari Resorts, which is larger and somehow still manages to be clean, organized, and ready for guests. Camelback didn't come close. This trip was exhausting, disappointing, and a waste of money. I would not return, and I would strongly recommend families spend their money elsewhere.

    Previous guest must've covered the keyhole and they didn't even bother to clean this.
    Aditi M.

    Absolutely unacceptable--and honestly one of the worst travel experiences I've ever had. Do NOT stay here. A THREE-hour check-in delay with zero urgency, zero communication, and zero accountability from staff. We were left stranded with a toddler, forced to change in filthy public restrooms just to access the water park. Meanwhile, our luggage and food were taken away to storage, leaving our child hungry and us completely helpless. The water park is just as bad--disgusting, poorly maintained bathrooms and 40+ minute waits for everything. It's overcrowded, chaotic, and completely mismanaged. It only gets worse. Our luggage was somehow "lost," and we had to repeatedly chase staff just to get our belongings back. No apology, no ownership--just incompetence. When we finally got our room, it was absolutely revolting. Food all over the floor, filthy bathroom, and literal stains in the toilet. Clearly no one even bothered to clean it before handing it over. Management was useless. No room change, no real solution--just excuses about being fully booked and vague promises of cleaning "in an hour or so." In other words: take it or leave it. This was supposed to be a special birthday celebration for my husband, and this place completely ruined it. The level of dirt, disorganization, and complete lack of care for guests is shocking. Save your money and go anywhere else. This place is dirty, chaotic, and couldn't care less about its guests.

    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

    Shower head. Chunks came off when water ran.

    They have quite a few for all levels... I can think of at least ten-twelve. Plus they have the flow rider which is awesome fun!

    How is this compared to great wolf and kalahari?

    I went to all three and found that camelback (aquatopia) was the best out of all. Just my overall personal opinion.… 

    Are there any casinos nearby?

    Yes mount airy casino is about 15 minutes from here!

    How is their waterpark compared to great wolf and Kalahari? For couples.

    I believe the water rides at Great Wolf is tailored to toddlers and kids. Aquatopia indoor water rides are good for adults as well especially for their body water slides. Never been to Kalahari yet

    There are free life vests, if course you can wear your shirt. Kids under 48" need a life jacket and… 

    How much does a typical drink cost at the swim up bar or thirsty camel (a beer or cocktail)?

    $9 for frozen drinks, $9-$12 for specialty drinks, $4 for a beer and $6.50 for a drink (jack and coke) - but it has BOOZE in it

    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.

They shouldn't be giving out rooms directly below construction areas let alone families with young kids. There was no heads up to us about any of this which made this experience even more disappointing. Had we known, we wouldn't even have bothered booking. The hammer and drill noise is still on after an hour and 15 mins and the ceiling is still shaking....

    This is a great place for beginners! LOTS of green beginner slopes to try out. However, it's a…read morepopular spot and tends to be VERY crowded... That said, I recommend you get here as early as possible if you plan to rent equipment!! It's also very helpful to reserve your gear and lift tickets ahead of time. That will make the gear check out process a bit easier/faster. We arrived around 1pm, and stood in a ridiculously long line to get our gear... All in all, we spent a little over an hour and a half just waiting for our gear. We were pretty annoyed by this, so if you're looking to spend more time on the slopes, get here EARLY!!! Parking is free, but also very difficult to find the later you get here... So keep that in mind as well. They have lockers all over the premises to lock up your things. You'll have to pay to rent them and I believe the only option is to pay for the whole day. Regarding crowdedness... There were really long wait times at the ski lifts, which was very annoying and often frustrating. I get that they have upgraded systems that scan our lift tickets each time we ride, however it created a lot of chaos regarding the lines. I was not a fan. Also, the number of people who were just SITTING in the middle of the slopes, blocking the way was incredibly annoying and also dangerous. There were a LOT of people doing this... I get that it can be scary going down the slopes, especially if it's your first time, however MOVE TO THE SIDE if you're not planning on going anywhere. To end on a brighter note, we were surprised to discover that they offer night skiing here! So arriving later in the day didn't affect us too much as we continued skiing until after 7pm. As beginners, we only needed about 3-4 hours of ski time so it worked out great for us! Not sure if we would come back here or not, but we're definitely glad we tried it out at least once!

    Here's the reality: if you're visiting any area in close proximity to New York City, this is…read morelargely what you should expect, and it has been our experience in both Connecticut and New Jersey as well. There is trash everywhere. Truly everywhere. Many people don't bother using the trash bins and instead leave their garbage behind for someone else to deal with. Public spaces and facilities aren't treated with much care; we saw gum, trash, and random items tossed into the gas fire pits, and people taking selfies often seemed to take priority over respecting others' personal space. We were fortunate to have rented a condo outside the resort, but the behavior we encountered at the resort itself was very similar, plus a few additional moments we could have done without, including someone blowing their nose into their bare hand and whipping it onto the floor. My family and I are doing the 50‑state challenge, and we chose Camelback Mountain as our Pennsylvania destination. Had we realized how close it was to NYC, we likely would have picked somewhere else. The mountain is beautiful, and the resort has a lot of potential, but they were out of almost everything across the property. On‑site restaurants had limited availability, and the posted hours weren't accurate. There's also very little to do outside the resort at this time of year. I'd recommend skipping the "largest general store in the country", the condition of their petting zoo alone will have you wanting to start an animal rescue.

    My hubby and I scheduled a last-minute getaway for our anniversary, and we're so glad we chose this…read morehotel! It turned out to be the perfect place for a little escape and quality time together. The hotel is posh, classy, and inviting, and you can tell there's a lot of thought and attention to detail throughout the entire property. The staff were genuinely friendly and welcoming, which made our stay even more enjoyable. The 90-degree pool was definitely a treat! And a special shoutout to my DY (wink) girl Natalie, who worked the pool area and made sure the drinks were flowing! She was so personable, friendly, and attentive and definitely added to the fun of our time in that area. We also had the chance to experience both lunch and dinner at the on-site restaurant, which was a nice bonus. We loved being able to enjoy ourselves without having to leave the property. We're also so glad we upgraded our stay to include access to the concierge lounge. A special thank you and shoutout to Darius for recommending the upgrade--it was absolutely worth it! The lounge was lovely, classy, sophisticated, and comfortable. With unlimited access, we enjoyed complimentary beverages (including beer and wine), snacks, light breakfast, midday bites, and evening finger foods. It was such a nice perk and added an extra special touch to our anniversary getaway. And it's the little things that caught my attention. I mean, even the hang tag for your room door feels like quality! That pretty much sums up the attention to detail throughout this hotel. I could go on and on about all the little intricacies and thoughtful touches that made our anniversary getaway special, but then this review would turn into a novel. So I'll just say this: we're so glad we chose this hotel, and you'll just have to go experience it for yourself!

    I just recently stayed at The Swiftwater for a one-night getaway to the Poconos. What appears as an…read moreupscale spot for a staycation unfortunately left much to be desired. The exterior of the building has a lodge aesthetic and inside is adorned with modern finishes. Our room was a standard king sized room on the 2nd floor. The room was clean and it was very spacious however when we first entered our room there were no bath towels or bath robes. Later I noticed that we also did not have tissues or a room service menu. When I called housekeeping to request towels and robes the staff was exceptionally quick to respond and did so happily. The service at the Swiftwater is great when requested; however, it does not appear to be the default. After checking in we made sure to enjoy the Swiftwater's prime amenity, the heated pool. From 5-10 pm the pool is adults only which made the experience relaxing. We opted to get drinks from the Olivet bar before lounging in the pool and I am sad to report that the drinks were not great. For $43 I received the smallest and poorly rationed Aperol Spritz and my boyfriend sipped on a double Captain & Diet. At around 6:00 pm we moved from the pool to the outdoor fire pit and enjoyed the serenity and heat before heading back to our room to shower and get ready for dinner. We walked over to Desaki Hibachi and had an incredible dinner. The vibe was very casual given that it is a hibachi restaurant but the meat was fresh & tender and my gluten allergy was taken seriously by all members of the staff. The next day we enjoyed a round of golf at Buck Hill Falls Golf Club. When I booked this experience on the website I was told that a complimentary shuttle was available to transport us to the course and back however at check-in I was told this is no longer offered. That was a disappointment as the course is 17 minutes from the hotel and thus added 17 minutes to our 2+ hour route home after the day on the course. Buck Hill was a breathtaking course with tremendous hospitality. Overall the heated pool, walkable distance to Desaki & accessibility to Buck Hills were the highlight of our stay at the Swiftwater.

My family from ages 2 to 71 had a ball in the waterpark. Cabanas we're great. Ordered family meals for lunch and though pricey alot of food and delicious. Went to the Italian restaurant for dinner worth the price. The breakfast buffet was also great. The staff could not be more accommodating.

    **Another Wonderful Kalahari Stay **…read more After over 10 years of bringing my family to Kalahari, this trip reminded me why we keep coming back. We had a few minor hiccups with our room, but the kindness of the staff truly made the experience worthwhile. A huge thank you to **JP, the arcade manager**, for being so incredibly kind and accommodating to my family, especially my nonverbal son. His patience and willingness to make him comfortable meant more to me than he probably realizes. Also, a special shoutout to the **lovely young lady with the cornrows at the ice cream parlor**. She was so patient, welcoming, and hospitable with our family. And **Rich, the train conductor**, was absolutely wonderful! He was so kind and knowledgeable about the area. After coming to Kalahari for all these years, I had no idea there was a waterfall nearby until he recommended it! Now I can't wait to come back and explore more of the area. Thank you to the Kalahari staff who made our family feel welcomed and cared for. **We'll definitely be back!**

    We booked a duplex cottage with one queen bed at Woodfield Manor for a weekend getaway in the…read morePoconos, and it was a great choice. Booking online was easy, and check-in was simple--we just stopped by Frogtown Chophouse to pick up our keys and finished the paperwork the next morning. Our cottage was clean, in good repair, and surprisingly quiet given that the restaurant is on the property. The space is set up well for a couple or small family: a bedroom with a queen bed, a living room with a queen sleeper sofa, a small kitchenette (fridge, microwave, toaster, coffee maker), and even a propane fireplace that was perfect for chilly September evenings. While the fixtures and linens were a little dated, everything was tidy and comfortable, and the unit could easily sleep four. The only real downside was the low water pressure in the shower--not ideal, but not a deal-breaker either. At just over $500 for two nights, we felt it was a fair investment for the experience. The on-site restaurant, Frogtown Chophouse, is highly rated, and we enjoyed stopping in for cocktails one evening. The bartender gave us excellent local recommendations that added to our trip. All in all, Woodfield Manor offered exactly what we were looking for: a quiet, comfortable, and relaxing home base in the Poconos.

We arrived Friday afternoon (October 11 2024) and stayed for three nights. This place is a little slice of heaven tucked away in the Pocono Mountains. When we arrived to check in, Chuck was there to greet us. He is a wonderful, welcoming gentleman. He gave us literature about things to do and happily answered our questions. Our room with its queen sized bed and adjoining sitting area was clean and comfy. We appreciated the small refrigerator and microwave to store and warm up our late night snacks. One tv in each room made it easy for one of us to nap and the other to "veg" out, if we wanted to! It's true the front desk is not manned twenty four hours, but you are given a number to contact in case of an emergency. And the guests are asked to observe quiet time between 10pm and 8am. This worked for us. I didn't miss the hundred room hotel with potential all night parties next door. After a day full of fun Fall festivities...quiet, peaceful and cozy is just what we needed. We are certain to visit again, perhaps in the spring or summer season. But definitely, most definitely again with the changing of the leaves.
