10 sites, only 4 with hookups, 2+ miles into the woods by a lake. Who could ask for a better place to camp? Quiet, secluded, large sites, plenty of trail and dirt roads to walk.

Peaceful, beautiful, relaxing, quiet, and plenty of room between campsites. The camp managers were very, very nice and helpful. This was a perfect experience. We definitely will go back.

Peaceful place, nice facility. The location is just remote enough to where you do not hear sounds of traffic and civilization. Lake is pretty and clear.
Chris, the host on duty was very helpful and welcoming. We will come back in spring since we could not swim with weather in 30s.

A nice small, quaint Campground with 10 sites available. Small hiking trail that goes around the lake. Verizon Wireless signal was spotty at best.

Camel Lake is a great getaway. The sites are large and several have a view of the Lake. There is a great path that circumvents the lake that you can walk or ride your bike. There is a swimming beach. The shower and bathrooms are clean. Ricky and Kaye were phenomenal hosts with all kinds of information about the area.

Well kept campground, friendly hosts and beautiful area. Secluded and far from anywhere but this can also be considered a plus. Lake is beautiful as well and the beach is great. The showers could use an update (especially the faucets), but overall sufficient and serviceable.

Camp Host was great. A friendly, knowledgeable guy with a great sense of humor. He kept the facilities clean, campground secure, trash cans empty— he and his wife did a great job. I will return, and I hope to see them again.

Such a beautiful place to camp, friendly helpful camp host, level sites, for star gazers, no light pollution so the stars were really bright there ... only downside is no dump station.

A pristine beautiful setting! It’s peaceful and quiet and away from all the hustle and bustle. The camp hosts were extremely nice and informative about the area too. We just loved it!
