Then the stats for the camel are simply wrong.
(Where the heck did they get the ideas that camels are solitary? According to this website, most herds of wild Bactrian camels number 2-15. http://www.animalinfo.org/species/artiperi/camebact.htm#profile)
I'd suggest camels should have a +4 or a +6 to their Fortitude save versus subdual damage from natural heat (as per p86 of the DMG).

Here's what I've made up for house rules. How do they look?
TRANSPORATION
Camel (Zamboulan/Dromedary1 or Hyrkanian/Bactrian2) (Nya p.101/229). Cost 50gp; carry as Hvy warhorse. Packs and saddles as horse cost. Bonus: Wild lore+5 and Con20 for checks in their native desert types.

Other than the whole "stores water in a hump" and "has feet that can actually deal with sand" things, nah, I can't see a single advantage that a camel would have over a warhorse in a desert setting.
Aside from the fact that the warhorse in deep sand desert would move like an epileptic monkey with rocks in his diaper and die of thirst in a few days, whereas a camel would not.
Which I'm pretty sure arn't covered in the stat blocks for either creature. *shrug*
