The camp sites were very large and well kept. The camp host took very good care of the facilities and was always moving around the site making sure there were no issues. We brought our kayaks to use on the lake and the trails were well maintained for hiking. The only negative thing is the forestry service was doing a controlled burn so it was Smokey. There was no signage or alerts this was going to happen and some tent campers left because they could not stand the smoke

The campground is out of the way in a very nice setting. Lots of room for each campsite (only 10 sites, and only 4 of these have electric and water). No real complaints about our stay here. Nice 1.2 mile walk around the small lake on a well maintained trail. Sunsets and sunrises were nice. Hosts were friendly and helpful.The 2-mile gravel road to the campground has 5 bad places that are rough on the camper. I wouldn't think that it would take much time or money to fix these places.A dump station at the campground would also be a plus. The bathrooms only have a single stall, but this wasn't a problem as there weren't many people there. Showers have hot water!All in all we had a great experience at Camel Lake Campground!

As far as our site and the campground, excellent! Our timing this year hot, humid, BUGS everywhere not so much. Thank God for our camper & A/C; tent camping wouldve been a nightmare. Weve stayed, before, same time of year, a couple years ago absolutely wonderful! No fuss, no bugs, and great weather.

Host did not actually clean the restrooms most of the week we were there. Simply replaced the toilet paper. I cleaned the sink to make it somewhat usable. The showers were filthy to the point of unusable. Campsites we not cleaned. We cleaned up litter and cleaned out the fiepit ourselves. A new host is needed.

Really nice for quite and relaxation, with only 10 campsites but only 4 with electric and water hookup. No sewer hookup or dump station. Camel Lake was nice to paddle board on, didn't see any gators, but heard they are there. Mostly active at night is what we heard. But we did see a Eastern diamond back rattle snake yikes 4 1/2 ft long while out walking on the trail. Bathroom only had 1 shower with push button shower, Needs to be updated, pain to have to keep pushing to get your shower in. 1 bath shower for women and 1 for men. It did have 1 toilet for women and 1 for men in the camp area itself and 1 each up by the Lake area. If you just want peace and relaxation and out in the forest it is that indeed. 2 mile bumpie road to get back into the campground... go slow! Wished they had full hookup and more sites with electric and water..

A quiet ,peaceful place. The camp host was very kind and helpful. The facility does need a dump station

We had a great time. Nice location, peaceful. Some wildlife nearby - iguanas and birds. Full hookups. Nice and quiet at night. We'd visit again. We were in a 30' Airstream travel trailer.

We came here to try out our new camper and loved it. The trail around the lake is very well kept and out camp site was very private. We'll definitely be going back.

The road into the facility has significant rough spots, so it’s slow going. The camp hosts are attentive and friendly. The campsites are spacious, with a nice trail around the lake. It was a lovely spot to spend a few days. There was plenty of space to maneuver and park our 36 ft big rig.

Great lakeside campsite with water and 30amp service. Paved drive, picnic table and fire ring, all very nice. Large trees, great trails, great campground hosts. Early in season, so we didn't use the beach, but very nice too.

Great place to stay - Great trail to walk around the lake but watch for the gnomes (LOL) - one of the host set some along the trail. They have a beach if you like to swim with the gators. They do have gators. the restroom and showers are dated but the host keep them clean. The only thing to beware of is the road into the campground from the main road - lots of pot holes and hunters during hunter season who like to use the road since they can hunt from the road (they use dogs to bring the game to them) - Other wise a great place to stay and we will keep this one in our list to use again. All sites are pretty level or semi level and about half have electric/water and the other do not.

Our family had an incredible weekend at Camel Lake. It was breathtakingly beautiful, quiet, and serene, Just what we needed. Campsites are huge, and most are private. Camp hosts are accommodating and so kind. The bathrooms were spotless! We hiked about a TON; there are lots of trails to explore in addition to the mile loop, including the Florida trail in and back for a bit. We will return hopefully very soon!

Great camping spot. Easy hookups and not crowded. Easy drive from Tallahassee.We were there in July. It was buggy. Waterfront was clean and well kept. Water was clear. This is a sandy bottom lake. Alligators are in the lake. We heard them but did not see them. I had three kids with me and we felt safe.Hike around the lake is not strenuous. My 4 year old made it. Overall, very pretty and remote.

Of the 10 sites in the campground, there were 4 with power/water. Potable water is available for all campers near the bath house. Bath houses were kept clean. The lake is nice, with a 1.2 mile trail that encircles it. The hosts on site were very hospitable and welcoming, but not overbearing. We were welcomed in and enjoyed the stay.
