We go to Camel Lake quite often it’s near our home. And we always enjoy it.

Site 2 has an awesome view of the lake. Not great for tent camping, though. Terrain is sloped and rocky. This site is definitely for RV camping. Camel Lake is our favorite camp ground in the area.

The 2-mile gravel road going in was rough with deep potholes and wash outs. It took one hour to traverse with constant jigging and jagging to avoid them and protect our equipment. Once there. the campground was beautiful with electric and water at each site, we could not find the dump station. However. the bathroom was absolutely filthy and had not been cleaned in forever. There were rust stains and others in the toilet and sink with layers of dead insects, sand and debris on the floor in the toilet are and in the shower areas. Trash was not empty. There is no cell service or Wi-Fi at the campground. We were the only ones there but yet there were reserved signs at each and every campsite. The grass was mowed and the sites were clean. I did knock at the host 's door to let him know we would be leaving earlier than expected and inquired on how to obtain a refund. Between the 2 parties we called x 6 times, left on hold for over an hour and a half each time only to be disconnected and ultimately never was able to speak with anyone and decided the refund was not worth our time anymore. We are sorely disappointed in our experience and will probably not stay at another Corps campground.
