Camsell is one of the few remaining fly-in communities served by the school division. In the winter, residents can travel to Uranium City by snowmobile, and there is also a road connecting Camsell Portage to the community of Waterloo Lake. The school closed on June 26, 2007 due to low enrolment. Despite its remote location, Camsell Portage has satellite television and high speed internet services.

Camsell Portage is about 14 km (8.7 mi) west of the Waterloo Lake camp and 36 km (22 mi) west of Uranium City by air via Camsell Portage Airport.

The Athabasca System Hydroelectric Stations operated by SaskPower east of the community include the Charlot River Dam and Power Station, the Waterloo Dam and Power Station and the Wellington Dam and Power Station.
