Gogo's take on Camelot
“Go with care. Camelot is a quiet, mid-century residential neighborhood in East Fort Worth that is generally safe for daytime visits or residential living. However, property crime rates in the surrounding sector are above average, and nearby highway corridors can see occasional criminal activity, so standard urban precautions are advised.”
