The campground is OK but the road to get there is horrible. Dirt road very rutted. Hard to travel with a trailer. There is no dump station and not one even close. The campground is very quiet and has a nice lake. Will not go back.

Great Camp host. Great camping spot in Apalach forest. Trail was very nice around the lake. Good spot for family and kids to explore/swim/fish etc.

Campground and hosts were great. However, the beach area of lake is in real need of sand replenishment. Also, the road to the campground has some awful washout areas that are very rough. There was minimal ATT service. No dump station. Trail around lake was nice.

The lake is beautiful. Pack plenty of bug spray, ice, firewood, and water. The location is very remote.

The drive into the park was a 2 mi drive. Lots of mud because it was raining. Lots of deep pot holes. Once inside park very nice. Host was very friendly. Draw back no dump station. Swimming area nice. Lots of tv channels, but no phone service.

This campground is beautiful! Lots of trees and bike /walking trails. The sites are large and well maintained. The hosts on site during our visit, Ray and Kathy, were wonderful and friendly. They kept those bathrooms very clean!

We love Camel Lake, first two nights had it to ourselves. Don't like to talk about it too much so it does not fill up and we can't get a spot. Forrest Rd in is always 2 mi of hell but the destination is worth it.

Beautiful cg. But has maintenance issues. Grass need cutting, beach has eroded, signage is poor, and a dump station needs to be installed. Host was great!

The two mile stretch of road getting there (once you turn off the highway) is absolutely terrible. It’s gravel with multiple areas that look like there have been wash outs and they contain sharp rocks so you have to go very very slow. Our vehicles were filthy when we finally arrived. The actual park is ok—site numbers are hard to see. We helped a couple of other campers find their site.
