Amtrak Train Station Camden, South Carolina (CAM) occupies a 1937 Seaboard Air Line Railroad depot at 1060 West DeKalb Street, on the Hamlet Subdivision.

Camden is one of Amtrak’s quietest stops in South Carolina, with 3,217 boardings and alightings recorded in fiscal year 2025.

Services Provided by Amtrak at CAM Station
Camden Station’s facilities follow from the scale of the service: one train a day, one platform and one track. The depot reopened after a $2.5 million restoration completed in 2015 that also brought the building up to accessibility standards, and Amtrak carried out further renovation work in early 2026. Parking is available at the station. Because the stop handles so few passengers, travelers confirm boarding arrangements with Amtrak in advance.

Baggage & Luggage Rules
Amtrak publishes no checked baggage service for Camden Station (CAM), and a once-daily stop at a small depot is not equipped for it. Passengers therefore plan to carry their luggage on board. Anyone who needs to check bags uses a larger staffed station elsewhere on the route instead.
Food, Lounges & Restrooms
No restaurant or cafe operates in the Camden depot. The restored building provides a waiting room, which is the extent of the indoor facilities at this stop. Food and drink come from businesses in Camden before departure rather than from anything at the station.
How to Reach the Camden Amtrak Station
West DeKalb Street is the main road approach to the depot, and Interstate 20 runs south of the city for drivers coming from Columbia or Florence. Amtrak publishes no local bus connection at Camden, so most passengers arrive by car and use the station parking. The single platform is reached directly from the depot side of the track.
Nearby Airports
Columbia Metropolitan Airport (CAE) is the nearest airport with scheduled commercial flights, southwest of Camden near the state capital. Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) in North Carolina is the larger alternative to the north and carries far more destinations. No airport connects directly to the Camden depot, so either journey involves a drive.
Hotels Near Camden Amtrak Station
No verified list of hotels adjoining the Camden depot exists here, and Amtrak neither operates nor endorses accommodation. Travelers needing a room look to lodging within Camden and near the Interstate 20 interchanges rather than at the station itself.
Camden Amtrak Station matters as a surviving 1937 Seaboard Air Line depot, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000 and restored for continued passenger use.
