About Big Pocono State Park

1,305.6 acres of land on Camelback Mountain make up this park, spread across Jackson and Pocono townships. The mountain setting is shared ground: the state's conservation department and the Camelback Ski Corporation jointly maintain it. That dual arrangement, tying a state park to a ski area operator, shapes how the land here is managed.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
