Nice, quiet campground with lake view sights. Trail around the lake is well maintained.

We rely on camp bathrooms and this one is a bit odd. The shower particularly wastes a lot of water as the flow sprays everywhere but on you when you stand under it. Many tent campers and families means this one stall unit gets a heavy work out. Better than nothing but just a better shower head would help a ton. The park is nice with good beach and pleasant trail. Very small and heavy rain flooded area and drive in while we were there. Quiet was wonderful

The lake is beautiful. The trail around the lake was a big hit with our 5 year old grandson! ( He loved looking for the gnomes) The campground host and his wife are friendly and helpful!

Just so you know...The forestry service did a control burn in and around the camp ground. Still a great place to camp.

Really nice for quite and relaxation, with only 10 campsites but only 4 with electric and water hookup. No sewer hookup or dump station. Camel Lake was nice to paddle board on, didn't see any gators, but heard they are there. Mostly active at night is what we heard. But we did see a Eastern diamond back rattle snake yikes 4 1/2 ft long while out walking on the trail. Bathroom only had 1 shower with push button shower, Needs to be updated, pain to have to keep pushing to get your shower in. 1 bath shower for women and 1 for men. It did have 1 toilet for women and 1 for men in the camp area itself and 1 each up by the Lake area. If you just want peace and relaxation and out in the forest it is that indeed. 2 mi bumpie road to get back into the campground... go slow! Wished they had full hookup and more sites with electric and water..

Beautiful park in a fabulous area, camp host was great. Lake is lovely but very small- more like a pond, good for a quick paddle.
