About Camden

Just off of the I-20, Camden is 35 miles northeast of Columbia, South Carolina. Part of Kershaw County, Camden is home to just over 6,000 residents who enjoy a rich history, friendly neighbors, and quiet suburban living. Camden is the oldest inland city in South Carolina and was created in 1730 as part of a plan ordered by King George II. In 1780, the town was a British stronghold and site of their main supply post. Because the town acts primarily as a suburban community, most residents of a Camden house or apartment for rent make the 45-minute drive into Columbia for work. A regional rail network provides fairly frequent trains as an alternative method of commuting into downtown Columbia.

Unlike many other states, gambling on horse racing in South Carolina is illegal. However, steeplechase racing is still popular in Camden, with the Carolina Cup and Colonial Cup held at the Springdale Race Course annually. Residents of an apartment or home rental in Camden cab also enjoy Lake Wateree for its excellent fishing, canoeing, kayaking, and other water sports. The Catfish Stomp Festival attracts hoards of visitors and residents every year, as does Grillin and Chillin, Paws-A-Thon, and the Boykin Christmas Parade. Other popular local attractions include The National Steeplechase Museum, The Camden Archives and Museum, and Battle of Camden Historic Site.
