There’s something special about the start of summer in Pennsylvania—long days, sunny afternoons, and that itch to find somewhere fun to cool off as a family. This year, Camelbeach Waterpark is opening its gates just in time for Father’s Day weekend, making it the perfect excuse to treat Dad (and the whole crew) to a day of water slides, splash zones, and floating along the lazy river.

Of course, we all know Pennsylvania weather can be a little unpredictable, but if the sun decides to make an appearance, Camelbeach Waterpark is the place to be! The park’s soft opening is Sunday, June 15, from 1 to 7 p.m., giving families a sneak peek at all the summer fun ahead. Starting Monday, June 16, Camelbeach will be open daily from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., so there’s plenty of time to plan your perfect visit.
Why Families Love Camelbeach
Located in Tannersville, Pennsylvania Camelbeach Waterpark isn’t just the largest outdoor waterpark in Pennsylvania—it’s packed with something for every age and every comfort level. Whether your family is all about high-speed water slides, prefers chilling in a lazy river (like me!), or has little ones who could play all day in the splash zones, you’ll find plenty of ways to make memories together.
The park has even caught national attention, recently landing a spot on U.S. News & World Report’s list of the “24 Best Water Parks in the U.S.” Not too shabby!

What’s New and What’s Classic
Some highlights this year:
- High-speed water slides for your thrill seekers
- Splash zones, geysers, and Olympic pool swimming
- Kiddie pools for the younger set
- Private cabanas if you want to relax in style
- Tasty, beach-style snacks at the park’s eateries
- Fun water sports challenges for active families
And for families looking to build water confidence, Camelbeach Swim School is back starting June 18, with lessons for kids ages 2 to 14.
Grand Opening Weekend: More Than Just Slides
The Grand Opening Weekend celebrations officially kick off Thursday, June 19, with family-friendly entertainment and special events to celebrate the start of summer. It’s a great reason to grab the sunscreen, round up the family, and make a memory or two.
