Editorial Review for Camelback Ski Resort – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
Hosting everything from a Reggae Fest to a Beach Party weekend, this resort is much more than just a ski mountain. With many fine dining options as well as hotel accommodations, it is a good choice for a weekend getaway. Skiing and snowboarding are without a doubt the main focus here in the wintertime, so expect a lot of talk about snow conditions.

I am so disgusted with these guys!!! this was my worst experience ever! these guys are just looking for the ways to rip you off!! We were planning a wedding at Camelback Ski Resort, Tannersville, PA. The wedding coordinator, Mary Bianco, was giving us all sorts of false information for 2 months. She is completely unprofessional. Instead of asking for 2-3 k for the reception, food and beverages, like we were told before, they asked for 13k in the final proposal!!! Here's some examples of how they violated the initial agreement: tent rental 6k instead of $250, as promised; we were told, there's no location fee, although THERE IS ONE! we were told, they would provide us with chairs, tables and dance floor although THEY DIDN'T! dinner: $50 per person instead of 45, as listed on their website. AND MANY MANY MANY MORE examples!!!
Pros: nice nature
Cons: terrible service

Mediocre resort, the crowds were absurd, (the line for rentals was about 2.5 hours) and by the time we got rentals, they were out of certain sizes of skis and were making substitutions or asking people to wait fo returns. The trails, arguably the best part of the resort, only suit intermediate to advanced skiers. Their beginner trails are poorly marked, few and far between, and overly crowded. The advanced trails are too easy for those accustomed to skiing in Colorado. Service wise, the staff is a bit lazy, uninformed, and sometimes downright rude. There were multiple instances of being brushed aside when requesting help and multiple instances of staff members standing idly by while lines formed out the door. And suffice to say, the price that they charge is definitely not worth the experience you get. The food, which is understandably overpriced, was not fresh and caused a member of our party to get two days worth of stomach troubles from the cafeteria food. . In conclusion, avoid at all costs unless you really have no other choice. Skiing in Colorado, New York, and even Vermont are likely better
Pros: Expert Terrain
Cons: Not beginner friendly, crowded, slow service, parking toook forever
