Our family had an incredible weekend at Camel Lake. It was breathtakingly beautiful, quiet, and serene, Just what we needed. Campsites are huge, and most are private. Camp hosts are accommodating and so kind. The bathrooms were spotless! We hiked about a TON; there are lots of trails to explore in addition to the mile loop, including the Florida trail in and back for a bit. We will return hopefully very soon!

The campground is on the lake and beautiful. I do wish there was more than 1 toliet but the campground was mostly empty, so it was not a problem. The hosts were very friendly and helpful. Canoeing in that area is wonderful! We saw bald eagles, river otters, gators and much more.

What a little gem! Such a peaceful place. Stayed five nights tent camping during Thanksgiving. It was really quiet until gun season started on Thanksgiving Day, but that comes with sharing the woods I guess.
One stall for toilet and one stall for a shower (separate for men and women). Campground hosts were really friendly and kept everything clean! We will definitely return!

Clean campground. Plenty of room to set up. Bathroom was clean. It was worth the money for a one night stay. No more, no less.

The road going into the camp is very rough and needs some work. I am now just noticing all these hidden charges in my bill. I stayed two nights! They charged $48! They charge $10 per day for electric! They charge an $8 bogus fee regardless of how long you stay. When you are booking, you don't notice all the hidden fees. Surprise! And the camp hosts manning the place are volunteers. Our government profiting off of our national parks. What a shame.
