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.

This campground site was without water or electric service. Showers were nice, public water was available.

Great scenery, quiet, and great volunteer hosts. This is a true wilderness camping experience with all the comforts like water and power and a level site. Road into campground needs a little attention though.

Very small campground but very nice. All the camp hosts were great. Some hiking trails come right up to the campground. Clean bathrooms with hot water. Last 2 mi driving in a little rough, just have to take your time. About one hour drive to St George Island. Beautiful beach. Only negative no dump station.

This was my first experience traveling in my camper and I decided to boondock. I can honestly say that I was truly blessed to have a camp host, Rick, on duty while I was at Camel Lake. He could not have been more helpful with all kinds of tips and tricks to help a newbie such as myself. He even installed a second battery in my camper for me and assisted with hooking up and unhooking the camper on the day of departure. Besides the hosts, the actual site is beautiful, super peaceful and a wonderful place to get away from the hustle and bustle. Highly recommend this campground.
