The last 2 mi of an unpaved lime rock road was rough with a lot of potholes, but we drove slow took 22 minutes to go two miles. When we got to the campground it was worth the drive. Our site had electric and water was pretty flat and you are looking at the lake. The bathrooms were clean, Rick and his wife who were the campground hosts on duty were the highlight of the property. They were very helpful and informative. While we were there they were like friends not just hosts. We will definitely return here and stay longer. I will not tell anyone how nice this is because I do not want it filling up with Yankees and Canucks like all our Fl. State Parks and National campgrounds in Fl. Do not fix the road maybe that will keep a lot of folks away.

Nice quite little camp ground.. No septic dump, and there is a $10 charge for electric, as well as a $8 booking fee on top of the regular rates. That's a pretty steep price compared to what we are used to. Each site has plenty of space as well as privacy from adjacent sites. Strongly recommend bringing a box fan to keep the knats at bay, as well as your favorite bug spray if walking around. Camp host were very friendly!

Great campground, a wee bit off the beaten path, but accessible to all manner of RVs. A dirt one-mile +/- earth trail around the lake is perfect even for those a little apprehensive of walking trails. The lake was too cold during my stay, but there is a beach, warm shower and a very friendly & attentive Host. Be advised, it is posted - no alcohol -.

It is a beautiful and quiet place. It was made spectacular by the friendly attention of Rick, the host. We have camped all over the country and have never had a more friendly and accommodating host. He’s a keeper!

On our recent 8 night camping loop we found Camel Lake to be the best campsite. The host was excellent in all aspects. Beautiful small lake, well kept bathhouse, and well kept grounds. I would recommend highly!
