The primary purpose of this earth dam, with a buttress core type, is for recreation, specifically to create Camp Lake. The dam has a storage capacity of 222 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 184 acre-feet, covering a surface area of 23 acres.
Despite its recreational function, Camp Lake Dam has a high risk assessment of 2, though its hazard potential and condition assessment are currently not available. The dam does not have a spillway and is not regulated by the state. The last inspection of the dam was in April 2009. With a lack of updated emergency action plans and inundation maps, there is a need for improved risk management measures at Camp Lake Dam to ensure the safety of the surrounding community and water resources in the area.
