Our stay at Camel Lake Campground was great. There are only 10 sites, so it was very intimate. The lake was beautiful, the site was a pull-thru and roomy.

The camp sites were very large and well kept. The camp host took very good care of the facilities and was always moving around the site making sure there were no issues. We brought our kayaks to use on the lake and the trails were well maintained for hiking. The only negative thing is the forestry service was doing a controlled burn so it was Smokey. There was no signage or alerts this was going to happen and some tent campers left because they could not stand the smoke

Excellent Pet Friendly Small Campground on undeveloped lake. The Campground is the only thing on the lake. Definitely a hidden gem for those looking for a quite getaway. Small Beach, boat launch and hiking trails around the lake provides plenty of recreation opportunities. The sites are well spaced out with water and electric hook ups. There is a bathhouse and dump station on site. The 2-mile dirt road entrance has a lot of potholes but is very manageable. I used my Merlin Bird App and there were 8 different species singing in the morning walking my dog. For a full review and pictures check out our post on @kampingwithkona

This is such a great place! Quiet and clean. The grounds were amazingly manicured. The camp host was very nice and accommodating. We will definitely be going back. Hopefully for a longer period of time.
