Camel Lake Campground

It was July, so there was no one else in the area accept one other site that was occupied. It was an RV that was having issues with the electric hook up. It apparently blew the breakers in their very nice coach. I would be upset if I had to make repairs to my coach because the National Forest maintenance did not keep them up to standards. I overheard the camp host telling them they had put in work orders for the electric posts in our site and theirs months ago. Also that the door that was put in the restrooms was needing finished. The door had been replaced but you could see the framework still. It had taken 15 months apparently to get it replaced as it was not even finished. I think the overall disrepair of these little out of the way gems could benefit greatly by more attention from the higher ups that delegate the park work orders / money the camp hosts request for maintenance issues such as this

. This is not the only place we stayed on this trip in our National Forest locations and I am deeply saddened that our funding is not going to the smaller places like these. They need the same funding our larger more commercialized National Forest locations get.

We love the place, the park is beautiful and well kept. We will be back soon.

The road to this campsite is sharp rock 3-6 inches in diameter with no where to turn around. One sharp rock wedged between my duel tires on my motorhome and poked through my outer tire creating a big hole. Did not notice this immediately because other tire held me up. I did complain to host about the road incoming and they said Florida does not plan to fix or pave road. I would rethink this campsite. Cost me $350.00 new tire and almost had to buy a second one because the rock rubbed a wear facet into the inside tire. Tire store said still good but would have blown out if I waited any longer.

Very nice campground with large sites.

We were on site #2.Beautiful view of lake,and you can fish from site.At the time only 3 campers on sites,Other sites can't view lake. Camp hosts very nice and checked on us regularly. Location getting in road was washed out in some spots.

A lovely little campground. The hosts were very friendly. I would have liked to spend more time here.

Great place. Very clean.

The road into the facility has significant rough spots, so it’s slow going. The camp hosts are attentive and friendly. The campsites are spacious, with a nice trail around the lake. It was a lovely spot to spend a few days. There was plenty of space to maneuver and park our 36 ft big rig.

What a hidden gem! And “hidden” is the word. The road in is a mess! Go very slow and easy but the lake is a lovely, swimmable inland lake. The camp host greeted us right away and was fun to visit with as we settled in. Peaceful beautiful setting. Only water/electric at site. No dump station I can remember seeing. Bath house was clean.

Great lakeside campsite with water and 30amp service. Paved drive, picnic table and fire ring, all very nice. Large trees, great trails, great campground hosts. Early in season, so we didn't use the beach, but very nice too.
