Camel Lake Campground

The dirt/gravel road was easy to navigate, just take it slow. Site was quiet and spacious. Restroom/shower was close to my site. Lovely day use area by the campground, with benches and beautiful views of the lake. Restrooms could use upgrading.

Out of the way and quiet. Friendly host. The lake is small, but beautiful and tranquil.

What a terrific campground and host. Our tent site was spacious and comfortable. The camp host was very friendly and helpful. The view from our tent site was great, and we were able to get right on the hiking loop around the lake. The bathrooms and showers were clean (as clean as it can be at a rustic campsite). We would stay here again.

Clean , beautiful, and easy to access the amenities!

* If you want to stay here, there is no ranger station and no way to check in. I had a great time camping here, but if you live close by and can afford to, maybe don't book a reservation because it was empty when we went.

The site was so quiet and absolutely gorgeous! The sites were decently spaced out for privacy, it was comfortable and quiet. I camped at Site 7, but I would recommend site 1 or 2 since it was near the lake. The bathroom was not the nicest but if you have camped before it does what it needs to do. Also, this site is close to Apalachicola National Forest, so there are lots of hiking trails nearby. Overall, this was a chill spot for camping over spring break and I definitely recommend it!

I practically had this camp ground to myself for two days - so peaceful-plenty of water in the lake and just a beautiful stay. Make sure to write down all your reservation information before you go because the phone network signal is pretty week.

The quiet location and large campsites are why Camel Lake is my favorite. While the 2 mi county-maintained road can seem like a turnoff, just look along the right shoulder of the road for red flags. If you see a red flag on your right, quickly turn into the left lane and you'll avoid a major pothole. Of course, you don't want to go more than about 20 mph because the county road is not well maintained.

We’ve been going to camel lake for twenty years. It’s always a great place to unwind. Only drawback to this campground is not having the ability to dump tanks but the bath house helps with that. Don’t expect much of a cell signal ( that’s what we love about it). The trail around the lake is a great walk.

Too great of a place to boast about! Beautiful and quiet. What more?

Very quiet nice trail around lake. Only negative which is not horrible but the road going in was very bumpy. There has been a lot of before I got there and would imagine the forest service will grade road.
