According to this US camel eater, it tastes like a blend of 3 different meats, pork, beek and mutton. Perhaps it depends on the type of camel?

Enjoying a nice, juicy camel steak at my home in North Minneapolis
I was in
Sun Foods in St. Paul, and somewhere in the vast and impressive Global Meats Section (that's my name for it, not theirs) I noticed camel for sale.
Besides camel steaks, they had camel kidneys, camel liver, camel ribs (I think) and lots of other fine cuts of camel. I decided to stick with the steak because it was easiest to prepare.
By the way, the camel sold in St. Paul doesn't come from the Middle East but rather Australia.
These are "feral" camels which are overrunning the outback.
Well, I say, eat a camel, save the outback.
So what does camel meat taste like?
My roommate did a little research on the internet and somewhere (I don't know what link he was citing) he found somebody saying
it tastes like a blend of pork, beef and mutton.
I don't know who said that, but they're 100% right.
Camel tastes like three different meats at once, but perfectly blended. I guess if you ate camel all the time, you'd say camel meat tastes like camel meat. I would have to say it is DELICIOUS and if it's a blend of different meat flavors, it's a perfect and balanced blend.
The stuff is a little pricey...about twice as much per pound as a good cut of beef...but if you're chasing exotic cuisine experiences, it's well worth the cost.
Camel...it's what's for dinner.
