Camara's pace was a constant worry for the visitors and his performance was highly praised by Jewell.
He said: "Henri has got the skill of just nicking the ball past defenders at the last moment, he commits people.
"When he starts running, he is as quick as anything I have seen.
"I always like to see my strikers scoring and it's good that Henri has settled well here and got over his injury from earlier in the season."
It was Camara's second goal in a Latics shirt since his £3.1m move from Wolves in August, and he is pleased with the way things are going for him.
He joined up today with the Senegal squad for their game against Mali at the weekend, but is due back in Wigan next week ahead of the clash with Newcastle.
Camara said: "I thought it was my best performance so far for Wigan and I realised the importance of the game with it being against a local rival.
"I've struck up a good understanding with Jason Roberts and we seem to have clicked together well.
"Jason encourages me on the field and I appreciate all the hard work he puts in to help me out there.
"I'm confident I'm fully fit after the hamstring injury because I've had no reaction to it in the games.
"When I'm 100 per cent fit, I can play without fearing anyone and that is how I felt against Bolton."
Yesterday's win was Latics' first against Bolton for 15 years, the result edging them up to eighth place in the table.
The game was watched by a 20,553 crowd, the highest gate for a clash between the North West rivals.
Jewell felt Latics were worthy of three points although his side had to endure some strong late pressure from Bolton.
He said: "We were playing against a side established in the Premiership who are doing well in Europe. We knew we would come under pressure and Bolton certainly didn't disappoint us.
"It was a game where we had to fight, scrap, throw ourselves in front of the ball and defend for our lives.
"We did that and I thought on the break we looked dangerous from the first whistle to the end.
"Maybe it was a good time to play Bolton because they'd been in Europe on Thursday, but they didn't look tired to me when they were throwing everything at us late on.
"I thought our general play was good and that we had the better chances – most of theirs came from set-pieces, long throws and corners.
"It was a high-tempo game between two committed sides.
"It might not have been the purest of games, but you could tell by the noise in the stadium that our supporters loved it while Bolton's fans stayed with them right until the end.
"I think people got their value for money from this one."
Latics have 13 points on the board, a total Jewell admits he is delighted with after starting the season with two defeats.
But he's again warned his players can't afford to rest on their laurels when the Premiership resumes on October 15 after the international break.
Jewell said: "It's a good number of points and listening to the players talking in the showers after the game, they think they can win it!
"There is a long hard winter ahead, and getting as many points on the board now is vitally important.
"We didn't want to be languishing on two or three points because things get very difficult then.
"But we can't tell lies and say we're not pleased with the start we've made.
"It's only a start, though, and we will keep our feet firmly on the floor."
Latics lost the services of Pascal Chimbonda after only 22 minutes yesterday, the right-back hobbling off after a heavy challenge from Kevin Davies.
He suffered a dead-leg but the near fortnight break between games should see him fit for the Newcastle game.
Jewell, though, was pleased with the performance of substitute Ryan Taylor in Chimbonda's place.
"It was a worry when Pascal came off, but Ryan did exceptionally well and that was a big plus for us," he said.
