Great site and view. Quiet area. Use caution during hunting season as they run dogs in the some of the surrounding area.

The campground is nice because its small the sites are large and not on top of each other. The sunsets were gorgeous over the lake. You could hike as long as you wanted since the FL trail passes right by.During our 3 day 2 nights, the toilet paper got replenished, but never any soap. The floors never got swept either in the womens bathroom.

Camel Lake is awesome, if you are looking for peace and quiet, and have nothing to do but relax. It is out of the way, there is no where to go unless you want to travel to get there, there are no tourist traps, fast food restaurants, quaint shops, nothing. Its a couple slow miles down a packed dirt road that has some rough spots. There is no internet service, and cell phones barely work, so if you want to while your time away surfing the net, you better bring a starlink or similar! There are also signs posted around to not feed the alligators (why is a sign like that needed? lol). It fills up on weekends, but was very quiet during the weekdays. Camp host, Glenn, was very kind and helpful during our stay, although we didnt have any issues. Our site was spacious and clean, and we were able to level on the hard dirt easily. We didnt use the water hookup, electric worked fine. There is no dump station, and you must make reservations online before you go, as there is no way to get a site at the campground (and dont forget you wont have cell/internet). We love this place and wish we could get back more often,

Quiet and enjoyable. Our kids enjoyed riding bikes around without traffic, walks with dogs were great, lots of space between sites. If you are looking to spend some time in a campground to relax this is a great place. Stock up on provisions in a large city before getting there. The supermarkets in the closest two towns, Bristol and Blountstown, are pretty disgusting. We spent 10 days there.

We had a great time at Camel Lake campgrounds. It was clean, well maintained and large campsites. The camp host was great. There is a dirt/gravel road wasnt bad. We will come back.

The road coming into the camp ground is not paved and is very rough. Not recommended for Motor coaches....but the grounds are very nice

When we arrived, we found that the site we had booked was occupied by other people. The campground host was friendly but unhelpful. He told us he couldnt locate those people and that it wasnt his responsibility to make sure everyone stayed at their reserved campsite. In the end, we had to leave and find alternative, more expensive accommodation. We requested a refund, but recreation.gov is unwilling to process it in a way that works for us. So we ended up paying $38 for a site we couldnt stay at, which caused us a lot of trouble during our vacation.

Beautiful spot, off of a dirt road so there isnt a ton of traffic. Very clean campground, saw a ton of wildlife on the hike around the lake. Will be back for sure!

Cozy little campground and well maintained. There is quick access to swimming beach, fishing points, and hiking trails. The only downside is no dump station. It is more than 15 miles to the north or to the south to access a dump station. The road in, FS 105, is dirt, but easily navigated. The campsites and loop road are dirt too, but all level and well maintained. Restrooms were spotless and camp host very friendly and helpful. Sites 1 - 4 have water and electric service, the rest do not.

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.

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 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.

We rely on camp bathrooms and this one is a bit odd. The shower particularly wastes a lot of water as the flow sprays everywhere but on you when you stand under it. Many tent campers and families means this one stall unit gets a heavy work out. Better than nothing but just a better shower head would help a ton. The park is nice with good beach and pleasant trail. Very small and heavy rain flooded area and drive in while we were there. Quiet was wonderful

It was July, so there was no one else in the area accept one other site that was occupied. It was an RV that was having issues with the electric hook up. It apparently blew the breakers in their very nice coach. I would be upset if I had to make repairs to my coach because the National Forest maintenance did not keep them up to standards. I overheard the camp host telling them they had put in work orders for the electric posts in our site and theirs months ago. Also that the door that was put in the restrooms was needing finished. The door had been replaced but you could see the framework still. It had taken 15 months apparently to get it replaced as it was not even finished. I think the overall disrepair of these little out of the way gems could benefit greatly by more attention from the higher ups that delegate the park work orders / money the camp hosts request for maintenance issues such as this. This is not the only place we stayed on this trip in our National Forest locations and I am deeply saddened that our funding is not going to the smaller places like these. They need the same funding our larger more commercialized National Forest locations get.
