I would estimate a full grown Camel would weigh 1500lbs to 3000lbs. This is based on: -camels can be 6x the weight of a llama (wiki) and llamas can weigh 280lbs to 450lbs (wiki). So that would mean 1680lbs to 2700lbs. -camels supposedly can drink 20 to 50 gallons at one time. And they can withstand at least 20 to 25% weight loss due to sweating. (wiki) So if the above were true that would mean 20 to 50 gallons of water equals 20% to 25% of a camels weight. Since water weight is about 8.3lbs a gallon. That would be 332lbs to 2085lbs. -Additionally a horse of similar height to a camel could be very roughly 1000lbs to 3000lbs according to my horse riding friend. Disclaimer: I haven't had any experience with camels and I would imagine it would be hard to get a specific weight estimation due to how much of their weight could just be water weight.
The weight is usually in the range of 400-600 kg for males, with females being 10% lighter. This is for the dromedar camel. For more information, go to Wikipedia.
