Cameron Park is a census-designated place (CDP) in El Dorado County, California, United States and is part of the Greater Sacramento Area.

Cameron Park is a community located in the Northern California Gold Country of the Sierra Nevada foothills, approximately 30 miles (50 km) east of Sacramento and 70 miles (110 km) west of South Lake Tahoe.

The original Native American inhabitants of the area surrounding Cameron Park were Nisenan, or Southern Maidu Indians.

Grinding rocks and burial mounds, still visible in various locations in and near the park, serve as glimpses into their past.

In the years since, the land has slowly been sub-divided into parcels used for purposes varying from ranch-sized properties to medium- and high-density residential neighborhoods.

Today, Cameron Park contains a mix of ranches, single family homes, condominiums, apartments and businesses.

Autumns tend to be an "extended dry, hot summer" throughout California and Cameron Park is no exception.

Winters are generally cool and rainy, with highs averaging 40 to 60 °F (4 to 16 °C) and nights occasionally dropping below freezing.

The soil in Cameron Park is reddish and clay-like and usually must be amended in order for many non-native ornamental plants to survive.
