No. There are reports that wild Bactrian camels can drink water saltier than sea water, but not exclusively. Most mammals cannot process the salt from salt water, and need fresh water to survive. These camels also regularly eat snow for water.

Where do camels store water if they don't store it in their humps?
No, they do not. The popular belief that camels store water in their humps is a myth and zoological hoax. Camels actually store fat in their humps. Excessive nutrients that the camel does not currently need are converted into fat and stored in the humps. These nutrients come from plants, seeds and water. 1,000g of fat in the camels hump can yield the equivalent to 1,111g of water when metabolised. In summary, camels do not physically store water in their humps. They store fatty tissue containing nutrients which is metabolised when the camel needs those nutrients.
