The last one is the only one spelled how you want to pronounce it.  I had a friend with that name but she spelled it Camilla.

My niece is named Camilla. I love the name. Her NN is Milla rather than Cami and it is perfect for her!

I've always liked the name Camila (ca-mil-ah) and it's on our giant list of baby names.

DH and I just moved into a new house and it has the most beautiful Camellia Tree right infront of the nursery window so it got me thinking about the name Camellia (Like Amelia with a C). 

Out of those two, what do you think?

 If you end with -ia like you do in the first two choices you change the pronunciation completely.

Camellia = Ca-mell-ee-ah

Camillia = Ca-mill-ee-ah

Camila = Ca-mee-la

I would spell it Camilla over Camila personally.

I have always liked this name.  I had a friend in grad school named Camilla.

I would say spell it Camilla to get that pronunciation.

To me, none of the names you list get the pronunciation you want:
Camellia and Camillia = cah-MEAL-ya
Camila = cah-ME-lah
Camilla - cah-MILL-ah
