Storied. Cultured. Playful.
For over 200 years, South Carolina’s oldest inland city has been a destination for unique adventures, memorable experiences and that warm southern hospitality that defines our people, places and history.
Camden offers a rare blend of rich revolutionary war history, a thriving horse culture and a vibrant arts & entertainment scene. But, its real charm is its people. Whether you’re coming to live, work or play, we invite you to discover your own unique Camden experience.
