Camerton is a village and civil parish in Somerset, 6 miles (9.7 km) south west of Bath, lying on the Cam Brook.

[1] The parish includes the hamlet of Tunley, which is the site of a hill fort that has been designated as a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

[5] Originally a farming village in North Somerset, its vicar from 1800 was the amateur antiquarian and archaeologist The Rev.

His studies led him to conclude, incorrectly, that Camerton was the location of the notable ancient British site of Camulodunum.

[10] With the closure of the coal mines, it is now primarily a commuter village for people working in Bristol or Bath.

The parish council's role also includes initiating projects for the maintenance and repair of parish facilities, such as the village hall or community centre, playing fields and playgrounds, as well as consulting with the district council on the maintenance, repair, and improvement of highways, drainage, footpaths, public transport, and street-cleaning.

The parish falls within the unitary authority of Bath and North East Somerset which was created in 1996, as established by the Local Government Act 1992.

[14] The parish is represented in the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom as part of Frome and East Somerset.
