Of course, they do. Camel is a mammal and its skeleton is similar to any other mammal skeleton.
You may be interested to see a camel skeleton:

What are they teaching in schools these days???
There are only three options for an animal living on the land to support itself to walk - an external skeleton (like crabs and lobsters have) or an internal skeleton. Of the internal skeletons, almost every animal has a bony skeleton. The exception to that is that sharks have a cartilaginous skeleton but this type of skeleton is not seen much outside the shark family.

Yes, but the only bones they can actually "present" are their teeth. However, their size and weight strongly suggest some form of internal support. Nothing the size of a camel could maintain its shape if it lacked some sort of framework, and it would have to be internal, because an external shell could not bear the mass of a camel. This is the reason arthropods are such small creatures compared to animals with internal bones.

Since camels are mammals, yes, they do have a "bony skeleton."
Were you worried that camels might be invertebrates?

All skeletons are bony, dear.

All mammals have skeletons.
