"Camelot wheel" is a misnomer for what's actually known as the circle of fifths. Either way, it's a way of quickly spotting "closely related" keys (e.g. C and G are closely related because G is the dominant tone wrt. C) and relative minors/majors (A minor is a relative key to C major, because it uses the same notes with a different tonal center and assignment of scale degrees).
