    The camera roll is included in the iCloud backup of your iOS device unless you specifically excluded it from your backup.  However, you can't view the photos unless you restore the entire backup to your device.

     

    My recommendation is not to rely on your iCloud backup to back up your photos.  If you delete photos from your backup, your next backup will overwrite the backup containing these photos and they will be lost.  Instead, import them to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  Then you'll know they're backed up.
