About Camdenton

Located along the quiet southwestern shores of Lake of the Ozarks, Camdenton serves as the Camden County seat and home to roughly 4,000 residents. Often called the Hub of the Lake, the town was established in the 1930s during the creation of the lake itself. Today, it offers a grounded, year-round community feel with plenty of local charm, practical amenities, and easy access to the water.

Camdenton

Daily life here revolves around the outdoors and strong neighborhood roots. Families are drawn to the well-regarded Camdenton R-III school district, while nature lovers enjoy exploring the trails and historic castle ruins at nearby Ha Ha Tonka State Park, visiting Bridal Cave, or launching a boat for a day of fishing. Between local sports, community traditions like the annual spring Dogwood Festival, and quiet residential areas, Camdenton combines everyday convenience with the perks of lake living.
