What it’s like
The place. Camino is a small community in El Dorado County, in the Sierra Nevada foothills. Poverty is rare here, and a good share of adults hold a four-year degree. Winters are cool, with December the coldest month, and summers are hot, with July the warmest.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, followed by professional and business services, restaurants and hotels, and shops. Across El Dorado County, some of the largest workplaces are Marshall Hospital, the Shingle Springs Tribal Gaming Authority and the California Department of Transportation. The county has added jobs over the past year, and unemployment has held about where it was a year earlier.
Things to do. Jenkinson Lake, a reservoir, and Eddy Arboretum, a botanical garden, are both a short drive away. Farther afield, Eldorado National Forest and Marshall Gold Discovery State Historic Park are protected areas worth a longer drive, the latter marking the place where the California Gold Rush began.

FEMA’s National Risk Index (December 2025) rates the risk each natural hazard poses to the people, buildings and farms in Camino’s census tracts, against the rest of the country; all of them together, relatively high. It is meant for planning, not a substitute for a local risk assessment or a flood map: FEMA’s index.
From the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 census and its American Community Survey (2020–2024 five-year estimates), and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. A survey, so each figure has a margin of error, and figures it is not sure of are left out. More on El Dorado County and the Sacramento-Roseville-Folsom, CA metro.
