A quiet campground with well defined hiking trails- one goes around the lake. Friendly hosts. I did not use the bathhouse. My only issue- and not a big one- there’s pretty much no cell service.

If you can get one of the few electric sites, they are near the lake and are very nice.
The restroom has only one toilet and one shower Per gender with separate entrances. However there is no not water.

I loved the fact that it is small, out of the way. Walking path around the lake was perfect for dog walking. Took some short bike rides on forest service roads but a little nervous because of lack of maps, no cell service and hunting season. Would definitely come back. Campground hosts very nice and helpful.

Incredibly secluded, naturally beautiful and peaceful. Water and electric only. NO DUMP STATION. Road into park was terrible... nearly 20 minutes to drive 2 miles.

A great view from sites #1 and #2 and plenty of privacy and space on most of the other sites. Lots of nice hikes, including the Florida Trail. Electric hookup and water worked fine. Has a really nice beach. Very few sites and well landscaped. Single flush toilet and shower are fine.

Take SR 20 west from Tallahassee through Hosford to Bristol. Turn south on SR 12. Continue south to the Apalachicola National Forest boundary sign and look for a sign for Camel Lake soon after you pass the work station and trailhead on the left. Turn left on Forest Road 105, which is an unpaved road. Drive 2 miles to the recreation area entrance on the right.
