In fact we never saw what Camelot would be like during her reign. Hell, we didn't even see Camelot during ARTHUR'S reign. And no, she actually never had a choice, as no tragic character has. She gathers all the traits of traditional tragic characters, and they never do have a choice, so...everyone on Merlin was a pawn of a false destiny in the end.
