Free and dispersed, Camels Hump Lake sits within the Camel Hump State Fish and Wildlife Area outside places to camp near Sentinel Butte, with drive-in and walk-in access to sites near a small pond. Picnic tables are on-site, pets are welcome, and cell service is available. One reviewer notes early-morning bird activity starting around 4:30 a.m., and a highway runs nearby, so expect some road noise. Cigarette litter has been reported at the site. Worth a stop if you're passing through western North Dakota.
