Facility Overview

Situated in the heart of the Pocono Mountains at 529 Camelback Road in Tannersville, Pennsylvania, the Camelback Resort Paid Parking Lot serves as a vital staging hub for year-round mountain recreation. Designed as a spacious, paved open-air surface parking complex, this facility accommodates day-trippers, seasonal pass holders, and overnight visitors heading to Camelback\'s renowned seasonal attractions. Because it is an outdoor surface lot without vertical overhead decks or overhead clearance bars, it provides virtually unlimited vertical clearance. This makes the lot exceptionally accommodating for high-profile sport utility vehicles, full-size pickup trucks, passenger vans, and vehicles outfitted with rooftop ski boxes, snowboards, or bicycle racks. Well-demarcated travel lanes and directional signage maintain steady vehicle progression even during morning peak rush.

Prime Location & Nearby Attractions

The lot places drivers directly on the resort grounds, within quick access to Camelback Mountain\'s premier outdoor sports and entertainment destinations. Key destinations reachable on foot or via resort shuttles include:

• Camelback Mountain Ski & Snowboard Slopes: Direct access to the base lodge, chairlifts, rental shop, and alpine trails during the winter season.
• Camelbeach Mountain Waterpark: Pennsylvania\'s largest outdoor waterpark, located right on the mountainside for summer wave pools, tube slides, and cabana rentals (a 3 to 7-minute walk depending on lot section).
• Camelback Lodge & Aquatopia Indoor Waterpark: An 84-degree year-round indoor waterpark paradise situated minutes away along Camelback Road.
• Camelback Mountain Adventures: Home to the mountain coaster, multi-tier tree canopy zip lines, and climbing adventures.
• Big Pocono State Park: Located at the crest of Camelback Mountain, providing panoramic views across Pennsylvania, New York, and New Jersey, easily accessible just up the ridge via Camelback Road and PA-4004.
• The Crossings Premium Outlets: A premier designer retail shopping venue located just 3 miles down the mountain along PA-611.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity

Access to the parking lot is straightforward via Interstate 80. Drivers take Exit 299 for PA-715 / Tannersville, connect to Route 611, and proceed up Camelback Road through well-marked mountain approaches. Internal circulating roads provide clear routing to designated parking zones. Peak departures, particularly on holiday winter weekends or late summer afternoons at waterpark closing, can produce queueing along Camelback Road down toward PA-611; on-site parking staff and traffic marshals often assist with manual traffic direction during these peak egress windows. While municipal rail does not service the mountain, regional bus services operate out of nearby Mount Pocono and Stroudsburg, and local resort shuttles frequently transport visitors between peripheral lots and the main ticket gates.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Plan to arrive prior to 9:00 AM on peak winter weekends and holiday periods to secure closer bays and avoid prolonged queueing at the entrance lanes. Keep your vehicle license plate number readily accessible on your smartphone, as the resort operates a cashless pay-by-plate system. If you are staying overnight at Camelback Lodge or have a VIP season pass, verify whether parking privileges are bundled into your reservation or pass tier before completing redundant payments at external kiosks. In winter months, ensure your vehicle is equipped with appropriate winter tires or all-wheel drive, as Pocono mountain grades can become icy during sudden snow squalls.
