Nobody has mentioned the Japanese band Bellaphon yet, the true Camel's clones.

I like Pink Floyd just fine, although moreso post-Meddle then pre-Meddle.
 
I like Camel well enough too.  I think that their debut is my favorite from them as it is one of their most lively.  Snow Goose just happens to be one of those classic albums that doesn't do it for me.  Don't get me wrong.  The music is beautiful.  The riff on Rhayader is excellent.  But it puts me to sleep every time that I listen to it.  Sleepy 

All Camel except Moonmadness sends me to sleep.

But i love Pink Floyd they are one of the most atmospheric bands while Camel is just boring.

Sorry, but I can't stay awake with their music.

If you are interested in a newer band, you might like Gekko Projekt.  Conor did review that compares them to Camel.  http://www.progarchives.com/Review.asp?id=785966

Pulsar's album The Strands Of Future is one that's reminiscent of Wish You Were Here (the length). Drums are solid (like The Snow Goose). Vocals are a bit shabby, but not much singing going on. Nonetheless, the singer is a calm one. Saying this because everything that's decently like Camel has already been said. The Snow Goose is probably my favorite album ever, so you know this album's good Tongue

And the guy who said Gotic, there instruments sound just like Camels.

Also, is your picture supposed to be a drawn Hunter S. Thompson? It really looks like him in his older years.

Pulsar's albums are so expensive. I really want Pollen, Halloween, and The Strands of Future but they're out of my price range.

For CD they're pretty cheap, and this website http://www.discogs.com/Pulsar-Pollen/release/1459059 not sure if they have Halloween and Strands, but Pollen is fantastic too. You learn to like the singer too. He has his good and bad moments.

Anyone mentioned Kaipa yet? Their first 3 albums are like the Swedish answer to Camel.

summer of '69 right BEFORE Hot Rats AND Bitches Brew were recorded.

On CD (my preferred choice for listening to music), they're expensive. Like $20 an album. I'm not going to say that I'm completely new to seems a little excessive to me. And since I don't do the whole download thing, I'll just have to wait to hear them, though I have heard they're music via YouTube, but I know the CDs will sound so much better obviously.

Then it depends on how much you're willing to spend on an album. Make sure it's worth it to you for $20! Slowly buy each one. That's what I did.

you must seriously try Tortoise.  seminal post-rock with serious prog n' kraut credentials, lots of melodic lines, and these albums especially:
 
Millions Now Living will Never Die
TNT
Standards
 
 
though Tortoise, i got to like Camel!!!!

 got into camel a few years ago and then kind of fell out of love with them - remembered them sounding quite cheesy and dated. but just stuck a best of playlist ive got on my 'pod  - IM IN LOVE AGAI.

I always find last.fm a good source of stuff that is like a band. it shows similar artists, plus if you click the artist radio button you get loads of tracks from similar artists.

additional - just reached the snow goose tracks in my playlist - skip, skip, skip until the moonmadness tracks. never liked the snow goose

Kahn - Space Shanty
Finch - Glory of the inner Force
Quiet Sun - Quiet Sun (bit more avant though)
Cargo - Cargo (bit more improvisation)

There is some former Camel around.

Try Colin Bass, Jan Schelhaas and Ton Scherpenzeel.
I've already mentioned Kayak and Bellaphon in previous posts

everything you post something I can't help but read it like Jeff Goldblum. Makes me laughter man, but I do take what you have to say seriously. Kaipa is a band I have to check out.

Honestly I don't see any Camel in Kaipa's music. It's not a band which works much on me.
