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.

We never even stayed, but was charged. I tried cancelling early morning of the first day before of arrival of 2 day stay. Online said I would receive $20 back in a refund. However, recreation.gov was NOT allowed to cancel the reservation. I was told to call THIS campground directly. I called two or three times, was told a Rec Manager, David Mooney, had to cancel. Well, he REFUSED to cancel the reservation. He kept ALL of my money even though I was owed back $20 refund on my credit card AND they would have been free to rent the second night again. I emailed to report this, but never heard back from the Park Service either. This was first trip I tried any of these campgrounds. Left a bad taste for me. I will use other Parks in the future.
