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.

Camel Lake is awesome, if you are looking for peace and quiet, and have nothing to do but relax. It is out of the way, there is no where to go unless you want to travel to get there, there are no tourist traps, fast food restaurants, quaint shops, nothing. It’s a couple slow miles down a packed dirt road that has some rough spots. There is no internet service, and cell phones barely work, so if you want to while your time away surfing the net, you better bring a starlink or similar! There are also signs posted around to not feed the alligators (why is a sign like that needed? lol). It fills up on weekends, but was very quiet during the weekdays. Camp host, Glenn, was very kind and helpful during our stay, although we didn’t have any issues. Our site was spacious and clean, and we were able to level on the hard dirt easily. We didn’t use the water hookup, electric worked fine. There is no dump station, and you must make reservations online before you go, as there is no way to get a site at the campground (and don’t forget you won’t have cell/internet). We love this place and wish we could get back more often,

Good other than messy bathrooms. Trash and debris in the showers.

This is a "primitive" very secluded campsite in the Appalachicola Forest. Only about 15 sites in a loop. Beuatiful small lake and bathrooms. Great getaway surrounded by nature. I would return.

Quiet and enjoyable. Our kids enjoyed riding bikes around without traffic, walks with dogs were great, lots of space between sites. If you are looking to spend some time in a campground to relax this is a great place. Stock up on provisions in a large city before getting there. The supermarkets in the closest two towns, Bristol and Blountstown, are pretty disgusting. We spent 10 days there.

We had a great time at Camel Lake campgrounds. It was clean, well maintained and large campsites. The camp host was great. There is a dirt/gravel road wasnt bad. We will come back.

what an awesome campsite‼️ this was our first experience with our new camper… It was super cold but other than that, it was fabulous. The views are wonderful and the site itself is very well appointed. Easy to get access to everything and just so well accommodated. We look forward to coming back again.
