Who are we today?

Cameron Park has such a rich history with how we came to be. When a group was marketing our community, they coined it “a special place to live.” We know what they meant then. In researching the history of Cameron Park, there really was a special vision for the Camerons, and some of it was realized. But does it stand the test of time? How do we invite small business and families of all kinds to our special place? How do we become marketable in today’s society where people feel safe emotionally and financially investing here? We can all say “no change”, “no development” but evolution is inevitable.

With the opening of Moonraker Brewing company on the horizon and fresh new businesses like Tres Calaveras, and Mom and Pop’s Chicken Shop, I see Cameron Park’s identity morphing into a cool, hip place to taste beer, go disc golfing and maybe grab a unique bite. A special place with interesting roots a golf course and a lake!

I mean, who has an airport in the middle of a neighborhood? Why not take advantage of our uniqueness and wear it loud and proud that Cameron Park is a cool place to be. What are your thoughts? Who are we today? What do you hope for our future?

Roots in Cameron Park

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world.

Throughout the development of CCOCP we have always discussed the importance of surrounding our community with positivity to improve community pride and ownership. We have discussed all kinds of ideas for the community like hosting festivals, community gardens, dog parks and other improvements.

I personally would love to see a community garden in our small town, and integrate the rich agricultural roots of our county and incorporate our youth from FFA. What about a trading post at old Burke’s Junction? The possibilities are endless. We would like to hear from you. What makes Cameron Park special to you and what would you like to see more of in our great community?
