Camel Lake Campground

My wife and I decided to rent a C-Class RV and see what traveling and camping in a RV was all about. This was our first time in a RV and boy did we luck out getting a reservation at Camel Lake Campgrounds in the Apalachicola National Forest. 12 mi south of Bristol on SR12. Entry road FR105 is a little rough in spots but can handle all types of campers. Small campground with only 10 sites, 4 with power and water hookups (#1 - #4). We stayed at site #3 and had a beautiful view of the lake. The campground has flush toilets and showers. All sites have a charcoal grill and firepit. Plenty of hiking and biking on the forest lanes and a nice 1 mi trail around the lake. Campground hosts Rick and Kay are the best and were extremely helpful answering all the questions we had about RV hookups and advice on a free dump station at Wright Lake campgrounds just down the road. We have Verizon cell service and could only get 2 bars at the day use area but that was the only negative. We would definitely stay here again and bring a canoe or kayak!

Beautiful and serene campground with large campsites, not to many. Good view of the lake from most places. There is a hiking trail that is well maintained going around the lake. The campground is far away from any busy roads so there is no traffic noise. I really enjoyed the time we spent at this campground. The campground host was pleasant and friendly, available.

Great, quiet spot. Plenty of trail mileage. Lots of dirt and forest service roads to explore. Sites are spacious and clean.

great place. hiked the trail. host was very nice.
I replaced 2 light bulbs at bathhouse. 2 were burnt out. 2 were working. Quiet. sites far enough apart for privacy. Will be back Summer for the beach there. It was cool hot cold so bathhouse sweated. Perhaps larger ceiling fan in bathrooms would dry out the bathrooms better. See you soon Camel Lake.,

Camel Lake is a very small campground, 10 sites, I believe. There is a 2 mi dirt road to the campground. It feels very isolated so keep that in mind. A few sites have water and electric, but not all. There is no dumping station. The bathrooms were clean. The walking path around the lake was very enjoyable.

This is a really nice, small campground. The lake is awesome. The road going in is a little rough and dirt road. The showers would not stay on more than a few seconds at a time, but nice hot water. The bathhouse is kept clean. The camp host are very nice and helpful.

A sweet find. Nice trails well kept grounds

Lovely, remote spot.

The campground is peaceful and quiet. The sites are large. The camp host was friendly and helpful.
A dump station would be nice and be careful on the rough road coming in.

We really enjoy this campground. The bathrooms were pristine, the hosts were friendly and right on top of things. The setting is beautiful. We enjoyed walking the trails around the lake and parts of the Florida Trail. It was very quiet. The electric addition seems a lot for the very little we used (in a slide-in truck camper) and the total price seems high for no dump on site. On the web it said electric was $5 but when we called to make our reservation, we were charged $10. We were not happy about that.
