A rather close call, but I go with Moonmadness.

From when I started to listen to Camel over many years I preferred Mirage, but this has changed in the last 10 years or so.

Moonmadness, but not by much. I really enjoy both quite a lot.

Both excellent albums, but it's Mirage for me. It doesn't have a bad track on it, and it includes two classics, the White Rider suite and Lady Fantasy. On Moonmadness I would say Aristillus and Another Night are weaker tracks.

Mirage especially for "Nimrodel / The Procession / The White Rider" which at one time was my favourite Camel track  That said, I haven't listened to either album much since 2004-2006, which was when I was most into Camel.  
Just a fanboy passin' through.

Moonmadness is my favorite from them, thus voted accordingly. Both are great albums.

I really don’t get Moonmadness. I’ve tried on many occasions but just find it lumpy. Mirage all the way for me

Moonmadness.  For me it took a few albums for Camel to mature...while Mirage has some great stuff, it is from their immature phase IMO
