Camelback Snowtubing

I don’t know what hapenned in the last year or so, as all the reviews below were singing praises about them, but in my opinion, this place SUCKS. Long lines, very unorganized, staff not so friendly. I bought gloves, very overpriced and incredibly uncomfortable (We expected the gloves to be overpriced at a ski resort, but we also expected to get very good gloves). The so called «lodge» had just a few tables, not nearly enough. We had to start our lunch outside, in the cold. The one «store» they had was a place to buy almost nothing. My opinion, go to Shawnee instead. Definitely worth the half hour drive for the lines that take less than a third the time, and the actual lodge instead of the shack camelback calls a lodge. Alot of room to sit, actual places to buy food or snacks, a real fireplace! The Shawnee lodge actually has two floors to it! Not a question in my mind, never going back to camelback snow tubing anytime soon.
As a side note, Shawnee is also better for families that want to split up, as I wanted to snowboard and my family wanted to snow tube, yet the two were far from each other at camelback. At Shawnee they’re literally right next to each other.

My hubby and I came during a freezing (read –19 degree) weather weekend and still managed to have a blast. You can read from all the other reviews that you get 90 minutes for $ 30, I will tell you some survival tips.
Top 10 things to prepare:
1. Wear double socks — and even thne, your toes will probably freeze.
2. Bring good gloves — if not ones there will be $ 30
3. Wear double sweats (if you are ghetto like me) or ski gear to avoid frost bite.
4. Wear shoes with grip, prefarable boots, I survived with sneakers, not one fall.
5. Do not eat at the kiosk, where your food will get cold, eat somewhere nearby.
6. Bring a hat
7. Bring sunglasses for the glare
8. Bring someone fun who won’t whine about the cold
9. Bring a selfie stick to take awesome videos and pics
10. AND throw yourself HEAD FIRST at least once!
I would definitely come back, it is an awesome winter activity for a decent price. A great alternative to skiing if you are a klutz like me.

Freezing. You can come at 9,10, or 11, but they advice that you come an hour early to sign releases and buy your tickets. So we got there at 9:25am for the 10am snow tubing, thinking we were late, but we couldn’t even buy our tickets for another 5 minutes, but we were offered the option to buy the 9am and lose the 25mins. You get 3 hours to tube. So that’s what we did, but it was so cold we barely made it 1.5hours. Lol! I’d definitely suggest coming with all your snow gear. They opened up the second land to go up the hill about 10−15mins in. This sped up the lines, but the 2^nd ramp kept jerking, pausing, and causing people to stumble. This was definitely not safe. Then as we try to walk on the side carpet or up the path because the ramp broke, we kept being told by workers «NOOOOO WALKING!» It was definitely frustrating, but I have a feeling it kept breaking because no one was regulating how many people were on the ramp, whereas they were doing that on the 1^st ramp.

Went Sunday morning for the 9am «Value Session» good stuff! They had plenty of lanes open and the lines were very reasonable. Overall, the kids had a blast and we definitely got our money’s worth. We usually try to go every year and they always seem to be updating and adding things. Good stuff!

I loved it. It was a great place to go as a group and just spend the day having fun.

This was our first time tubing and my friend and I had a good time. We got there at 2pm on a Friday and had to wait until 5pm for the next available 3 hour session. The three hour session is $ 30. It is cheaper if you get there before 10am and also cheaper for weekday tubing. There were 6 lanes on one line that had the capability for single and double tubes and 5 lanes on another line for single tubing only. Every hour when a new session begins the lines can be very long but after the initial hourly surge the lines are bearable.
Tubing is fun and family friendly. They have a place to sit inside and outside they have a fire-​pit that you can sit around. There is also a café on site if you get hungry or thirsty.

Came here with friends during Christmas Day! It’s fun, but needs some structure!
During Christmas Day we decided to take a spontaneous trip to the poconos and came across ‘camelback snowtubing.‘
The good: it’s fun for kids, parents and anyone who’s up for some fun! It’s like a conglomerate of winter sports, from skiing to snowboarding.
The bad: The lines are really, really long! You essentially pay $ 30 to get on line, and go up once and have to restart the entire line again. They claim to be «the biggest snowtubing park in USA» but nothing could be further from the truth. Upon arrival we learned that the other section was closed/​not paved with lanes.
42 lanes of fun? More like 10 crowded lanes with one surface lift. The poor staff seemed overwhelmed. Also, arrive early or else they’ll charge the same 3-​hour rate of $ 30 for about 2 hours (absurd).
Overall, it’s fun but they need some work on the management!

First time snow tubing and had a blast there sliding down the slopes. I think the were 10 lines for people to tube down, line 1 and 2 are for photos, and they kept the flow moving smoothly. We got there at 11 a.m. and had a three hour pass, which is more than enough time to get your money’s worth. It got a little hectic and it seemed as though the line guides couldn’t control it but they got it under control eventually. Definitely rest up the day before and come ready for a little work out from all the walking a pushing in the snow, it gets a little deep in some area’s. Overall I and the family had a blast.
