The city of Camas began over 100 years ago as a small paper mill town, expanding and developing over the years into a successful mix of values, vision, and culture.

With its nearly 14,000 residents and numerous large, high tech manufacturing industries,
Camas has become a big player from small town roots.

Located along the banks of the Columbia River in the eastern hilly portion of Clark County, Camas offers spectacular views of Mt. Hood as well as Portland, Oregon. Lacamas Lake provides hours of enjoyment, from playground equipment for the little ones, serene nooks for the relaxed fisherman, and long, winding hiking trails, for the adventurous, where one could get swept up in the natural canvas of color.

With increasing business opportunities and making downtown "the place to be," the City has established a Downtown Vision Coalition to both conceptualize and implement strategies for attracting additional growth in this vital area of the community. These ideals have been instrumental in promoting diverse economic growth, encouraging development of livable, family oriented neighborhoods, protecting open space, and building parks and other recreational amenities. In short, creating balance and harmony between jobs, housing and recreation. (See www.DowntownCamas.com for more information.)

Downtown Camas itself centers around a unique drive thru "shopping mall". Trees, planters and many sitting areas on the main street create a beautiful, relaxing place to do business, shop or just have a cup of coffee with friends. The large, newly remodeled brick library sits proudly overlooking the streets of downtown. The older, well preserved downtown buildings have kept their charm and are utilized by a diverse network of businesses to make a busy community center. You will find charming antique stores, clothing shops, from upscale boutiques to consignment stores to accomodate anyone's budget, gift shops, coffee shops, restaurants, a large, historic theatre, the local hardware and sports stores and much more. The recent courtyard improvement to the middle section of downtown opens the area up for movie goers, coffee drinkers, shoppers and pedestrians. Take a trip downtown and bask in the warm, friendly, "Normal Rockwell" setting, and walk away with a truly satisfying experience!

The opportunities of Camas do not stop there, however! An array of shopping centers, plazas, and professional services, greet you as you drive east out of downtown. The businesses are nestled cozily with the beautiful backdrop of the Columbia River and Mount Hood, so as not to appear too industrialized, but more than enough to cater to the townspeople's needs.
Camas is the epitome of Heaven on Earth, with just the right balance of scenery and business, so as not to detract from each other.

Again, welcome!
