Let's boost the natural armor to +15, then I think we're done.

This massive quadruped has a short box-like head atop a long neck, a stout but powerful tail and an elephantine hide.
The camarasaurs are one of the smaller and weaker types of sauropod.
Camarasaurs, while large (around 60 feet long and 20 tons), are dwarfed by most other sauropods, and they are small enough to be targeted by allosaur packs and other carnivorous dinosaurs. As such, they live and travel in large herds for protection. Their nearly horizontal backs and short necks allow them to browse short trees and saplings.
Combat
When attacked, camarasaurs are capable of using their powerful tails in defense, but are just as likely to run away.
Trample (Ex): A camarasaurus can literally run over any creatures in its way that are of Gargantuan or smaller size. Creatures trampled must make a Reflex save (DC 29 half) or take 6d6+15 damage. The save DC is Strength based.
The Wikipedia article makes me think we should replace the tail slap with clawing slams, like Brachiosaurus.

Scaling an elephant up to Colossal nets us a base stamp damage of 4d6, actually.

Alternatively, we could go back and boost the brachiosaur's. In retrospect, between that and the epic feats, I'm starting to wonder if we pegged the CR a little low...

I'd boost brach damage to 5d8 or 6d6. CR 12 sounds right, still. It's one of those weird D&D creatures that is absolutely lethal or a total pushover, depending on the circumstances of the encounter (I'm looking at you, remorhaz).
