Where is the best place for snow tubing in Pennsylvania?



I was wondering if anyone knows the best resort to snow tube. I read one review on line that said Camelback is the best. Has anyone been to any of the snow tubing places that can give me some feedback?

I am thinking about buying my brother's family and my sister's family tickets to go snow tubing for Christmas. We are in southeast PA and could drive to anywhere in the Poconos or south of the Poconos.

Camelback's tubing is decent -- I believe that added trails this year? Blue Mountain also has a snow tubing park.

Thanks Karameli. I'm glad you also said Camelback was good.

I did do some research and found about 7-8 places to go tubing. I just didn't want to spend all of that money for tickets (I'll be buying about 15 tickets) to find out a place was lame once everyone got there.

Any one else been tubing?

Sorry to butt in, but which of the Southern PA resorts have the best snowtubing? Ski Liberty, Whitetail, or Roundtop?

My husband and son went to Roundtop last winter to tube and would not recommend it - they have only a single trail and it is not very big. Kids below eight years old would be OK, but not much older.

I would second the opinion re: Roundtop. The incline isn't very steep and unless the conditions are perfect, the ride is slow. Lines are long as well. Near York is AvalancheXpress (you can search on it - it's at Heritage Hills Golf resort). I've never been there, so I can't necessarily recommend it.
