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.

Quiet wooded area with nice lake view. Trail around lake for nice walk. Be aware of 2 mi gravel/dirt road to park.

Very nice campground for nature lovers. Large sites. Nice lake with walking trail around it. Very quiet and secluded. Host keeps the sites and bathrooms very well maintained. We will be coming back.

I almost don’t want to tell anyone how good this place is. It’s rustic but it’s so quiet, so gorgeous. The glory of the panhandle pine ecosystem is fully demonstrated here. Sunsets are out of this world. Trails galore straight out of the site . The road is rough coming in but it’s only 2 mi. Cell coverage is horrible but honestly you’re too busy enjoying the woods to really care. Showers are hot and private. Bathroom always clean. The dump site is kinda far at Wright lake but the bathrooms are so close to every site it doesn’t matter. We’ve been here a ton of times. Hosts are always different people each time but really nice and helpful.

Arrived at the campground to find someone on our assigned site. Tried calling the campground number, but it was after hours. Called Recreation.gov, agent expected me to tell the person on the site that it was reserved for us and they would need to move. This is NOT something that should be done by me, rather by a park employee or camp host. We ended up taking a chance and setting up on another camp site that was reserved for the night we were staying. Fortunately no one showed up for that site that evening. Very upset with the advice of the recreation.gov agent's suggestion.

Great site and view. Quiet area. Use caution during hunting season as they run dogs in the some of the surrounding area.

The campground is nice because it’s small the sites are large and not on top of each other. The sunsets were gorgeous over the lake. You could hike as long as you wanted since the FL trail passes right by.
During our 3 day 2 nights, the toilet paper got replenished, but never any soap. The floors never got swept either in the women’s bathroom.
