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.

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.
