Insider tips
- Buy waterpark tickets online well in advance to avoid hassle at the entrance

- Pack goggles for children to protect their eyes from high chlorine levels
- Allow at least 2 hours minimum to fully experience the waterpark
Good to know before you go
- Staying in on-site rooms if you are sensitive to noise or poor room maintenance
- The on-site buffet due to high pricing ($60 per adult and $40 per kid)
- Snow tubing during peak hours due to long lines and slow lift operations
- Water slides closed for renovations without prior warning
- High chlorine levels in kiddie pools causing eye irritation
- Crowds
- High crowds at the snow tubing area with long wait times (only 14 lanes open for over 100 people).
- Value
- Low value for overnight guests due to high hidden costs, including a mandatory $25 self-parking fee ($40 valet) and expensive on-site dining ($60 adult buffet). Snow tubing is also considered overpriced at $90 per person. Staying off-site and buying day passes is highly recommended.
- Food
- On-site options include a pizzeria, bar, and a very expensive buffet ($60/adult, $40/kid), but local off-site dining options are close by.
- Accessibility
- Accommodations provided to use Great Wolf Lodge when slides were closed for renovations
- Safety
- Snow tubing lift belt stops randomly causing guests to fall
What parents say
"We decided to take a trip around Pennsylvania and we decided to visit this beautiful water park. We liked it for everything it offered. As soon as we arrived we checked in at the hotel. It was very quick and easy. After that they explained to us how everything worked inside the hotel, the only thing we did not understand is why you pay for a hotel with all the amenities included. They charge you $25 for parking even if it is the same person who parks it, I understand if it were the valley parking lot / but it is like that. They charge you $25 for parking and $40 if it is someone who parks it "

"We had a day to spend at this water park and from first look from the outside it seemed great. When finally getting in, the slides and raft rides seemed old and need some upgrading along with the other play areas there. Only thing that was great was the huge hot tub where you can sit inside or outside and it was awesome. The swim up bar and flow house was nice as well. Waterpark was not as big as surrounding ones in the area but camelback is known for skiing, not water parks."

"The staff explained to my friends and I, you must purchase the water park tickets online. The online website is extremely difficult and most of the staff was not helpful. Be aware there are no military discounts. I asked to speak with customer services because the website was not working but they said they could not help us. Some of the staff are extremely rude but we really wanted to enjoy ourselves so it took about 15 minutes and we purchased the tickets online. The overall water park was fun and we enjoyed the slides and the hot tub. Just plan ahead, purchase the tickets online, and if you "
