Campground was great, though one thing could've helped prepar us- apparently there has been a boil order for some time as the system is repaired. Totally understandable but would be been nice to know we were low on fuel and could've arrived with some extra water.
Also I'm not sure if I'm just not savvy enough but I cannot ever seem to know how to efficiently get topo maps of national forest - it should be the easiest thing but somehow it always takes forever.

This one one of the most beautiful campsites that we have ever stayed. The view from our site(#2) of the lake was so peaceful. The site was large and level. My only complaint is that the shower wasn't heated. The weather was quite cold and that made the shower room very cold, not conducive for me to shower.

Small lake with a sand ramp. Non motorized water craft only. Friendly host. Clean facilities. Quite location. Lots of trees, no bugs. First time camping in my 4runner. Definitely we'll be back.

We loved Camel Lake, and hope to have the opportunity to stay here again. Didn't use the restrooms, but there was someone there daily who appeared to be cleaning. Small campground, our site was on the water, no one next to us, but the sites are spacious even if there was. Nice trail around the lake.

We had a fantastic time at the camp ground. People were nice and the park was quiet. The bathroom and shower were very clean. We were at lot#3 and enjoyed the space we had. The walk around the lake was picturesque.
We will be back again. Oh yeah, my husband and I are Amateur Radio Operators and had fun activating the park. No issue from other folks.
