Cameron Park is a bit too far right for me - 8/31/2021
I have lived in Cameron Park on the south side of the freeway (Cameron Estates) for 14 years.
The winters are not extreme, but the town does get and an occasional dusting of snow in the winter. Be prepared for lots of rain between December and March. The spring is beautiful, and so is the fall. The summers are hot, but with air-conditioning, the weather is not an issue. Summer nights are warm and there is something magical about the sky, with such unique cloud formations and brilliant stars.
The negatives about Cameron Park are that, unfortunately, if you come from the “Bay Area” many of the locals are openly rude and hostile. The majority of the residents (60%) are Republicans, and a fringe minority are radical right-wing. The minority population of Democrats tend to keep a low profile and try not to upset the fringe radicals.
There is limited shopping in Cameron Park, but Folsom and El Dorado Town Center are within 10 miles.

Nice place to live - 8/2/2010
Cameron Park (pop 16k and shares it’s zip 95682 with Shingle Springs) is in the Northern California foot hills off hwy 50 about 45 minutes east of Sacramento and 1 hour west of Lake Tahoe. Cameron Park has the small country feel with large city amenities within minutes. We have mild winters but may get a dusting of snow once in a while and we have dry warm summers. Recreation is all around Cameron Park with hiking, swimming, fishing, boating, golf plus a great new rec center with activities for both adults and kids of all ages. Housing cost in Cameron Park is reasonable for California but the utilities are a bit higher than the surrounding areas. The crime rate here is very low and you feel safe to walk around at night. All in all, Cameron Parke is a great place to live and bring up a family.
