The castle of Camelot is located in Kandarin, to the east of Seers' Village. Home to King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table, the castle is also the starting point for the Holy Grail and Merlin's Crystal quests.
During King's Ransom, the castle cannot be accessed.
History
In the year 132 of the Fifth Age, King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table came to Gielinor from another world. Once there, they realised they were in need of a castle. King Ulthas, the king of Kandarin at the time, met with Lord Sinclair and discussed King Arthur's plight. Sinclair decided that he would give his castle to King Arthur, and King Ulthas built the Sinclairs a large mansion in the north, near the southern border of the Fremennik Province, where they could relocate.[1][2] King Arthur, meanwhile, renamed the castle to Camelot.[3]

Knight Waves Training Grounds
After completion King's Ransom, the player can take part in the Knight Waves Training Grounds activity that allows them to fight all of the Knights of the Round Table, one after the other. Completing the activity rewards the player with 20,000 experience in combat skills (Hitpoints, Attack, Strength and Defence), and the ability to set their respawn point can be set to just outside the castle (by speaking to Merlin in the castle, 1st floor[UK]2nd floor[US]) instead of Lumbridge or Falador. It also unlocks two new prayers, Chivalry and Piety.

Trivia
- This location is named after the castle of the same name in the legend of King Arthur. The inhabitants are direct references to King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table.
- A popular artefact missing from the RuneScape Camelot castle is that of the Siege Perilous, the seat that meant death to any but the most pure knight and the one destined to find the Holy Grail. This may be an overlooked detail or it may be absent because its occupant, Galahad, is no longer at the court of King Arthur, but lives as a monk near Hemenster.
- There is a Saradomin altar upstairs, suggesting that they are worshippers of Saradomin. The castle was, however, owned by Lord Sinclair, before it was given to the knights, and who was a Saradominist. In addition, Galahad's dialogue suggests he does not have religious solidarity with Saradomin worshippers, despite wearing Saradomin-styled attire; this may indicate that he, and perhaps other Knights in Camelot, still retain their faith from Britain (as seen in the Arthurian legends they're sourced from).
