Cameron Park is a relatively new community in El Dorado County. In the 1950s, visionary Larry Cameron purchased the 5,000 foothill acres that now encompass Cameron Park for ranching purposes. Over the years, with the help of others, Cameron divided the land into lots of varying sizes. Today, Cameron Park reflects a wide scope of interests, with ranch-sized properties, medium and high-density residential, shopping areas, a championship country club, recreational lake and the Airpark Estates. The Cameron Airpark Estates provides a unique opportunity for pilots to commute from home to destination without ever leaving the plane. Wide streets double as taxiways between homes and the airstrip. Cameron Park offers a wide variety of housing types and prices. Prices for single-family homes begin in the mid $100,000s and run to $1 million and more for large estate properties. Cameron Park was conceived as a community to meet many needs and continues to strive for that goal.
