Camas occupies a stretch of the Columbia River shoreline east of Vancouver, where the river begins its transition from broad valley water into the narrow, steep-walled corridor of the Columbia River Gorge. SR-14, the Lewis and Clark Highway, runs through the city along the riverbank. The Gorge viewpoints that draw tourists from around the country are a short drive east. The paper mill that operated here for more than a century ran on the power of Lacamas Creek falling to the Columbia, and it left behind an industrial heritage that the city has spent the last two decades transforming.
Camas today is one of the wealthiest cities per capita in Washington state. The demographics have shifted dramatically as the technology and professional workforce has moved east from Vancouver into a city that combines new construction, preserved natural areas, and a historic downtown of uncommon charm. Lacamas Lake and the Lacamas Creek Regional Park are at the center of the city’s recreational identity. The camas flower, a blue-violet bloom that covers the meadows in spring and gave the city its name, still appears in local parks each April.
Moves into and out of Camas involve a city that is growing fast, where new subdivisions on the eastern edges meet older established neighborhoods close to the lake and downtown. Royal Moving & Storage works all of it.
Camas local moves often involve the city’s steep terrain, which rises from the Columbia Riverbank through several distinct elevation changes as you move north and east from downtown. Streets in the older neighborhoods near the historic core can be narrow and grade-affected. The newer subdivisions further out are more accessible. We plan for both and give you a price before we start.
Camas housing ranges from historic early 20th-century homes near the downtown core and Lacamas Lake to newer luxury subdivisions built in the 2000s and 2010s on the city’s eastern edges. Older homes require careful attention to interior access, stair protection, and original finish preservation. Newer construction is more open but often involves larger inventories and more complex furniture. We assess the property before moving day.
Camas has a growing commercial and professional base, with employers in technology, healthcare, and services along the SR-14 corridor and in the downtown business district. We schedule moves around operating hours and handle building access so disruption stays minimal.

Camas is a city of approximately 25,000 residents in Clark County, Washington, on the north bank of the Columbia River about 20 miles east of Portland and 13 miles east of Vancouver. SR-14 runs through the city east-west along the riverbank, and SR-500 connects it north to Washougal and east to Battle Ground. The city covers approximately 8.5 square miles across terrain that rises sharply from the river through several plateaus to the northern edge of the city.
Lacamas Lake, formed by a dam on Lacamas Creek near the city center, is the geographic heart of the community and the focus of its trail network and recreational programming. The lake is surrounded by the Lacamas Creek Regional Park, which protects a corridor of wetlands, forest, and meadow.
The camas bulb, a starchy root that was a dietary staple for the Chinookan and other Indigenous peoples of the Columbia region, covered the meadows of this area so abundantly that it gave the city its name. The Chinookan people harvested camas in large quantities and traded it extensively. The Columbia River here was one of the most productive salmon fisheries in the Pacific Northwest, and the confluence of ecological resources made the area a significant gathering site.
The Columbia Paper Company established a paper mill on the banks of Lacamas Creek in 1883, using the water power of the creek to drive its operations. The mill went through several owners over the following century, eventually becoming a Georgia-Pacific facility and operating as one of the largest paper mills in the Pacific Northwest. The mill’s closure and the remediation of the industrial site along the river defined much of Camas’s civic story in the early 21st century.
The historic downtown, developed primarily in the early 20th century in the shadow of the mill, has been preserved and revitalized as a walkable commercial district. The Lacamas Heritage Trail connects the downtown to the lake and the regional park system, making the natural landscape accessible on foot from the historic core.
Camas terrain is the most distinctive logistical feature of moving here. The city climbs from the Columbia Riverbank through several elevation changes, and the streets in the older neighborhoods near downtown and near Lacamas Lake reflect that topography: grades, curves, and residential blocks where parking and truck positioning require planning.
The newer subdivisions on the eastern and northern edges of the city are built on more accessible terrain with wide streets, large lots, and standard access for moving trucks. These areas have grown rapidly, and the homes tend to be newer, larger, and more straightforward to access.
Moves near the downtown historic core require the most planning. The streets nearest the old mill site and the historic commercial blocks are narrow in places, and some residential streets above the downtown have steep grades that need to be confirmed for truck access before moving day.
SR-14 through the city is a scenic route but carries commute traffic and can slow during peak windows. For moves between Camas and Vancouver or Portland, we plan transit windows around the commute patterns on SR-14 and the Glenn Jackson Bridge (I-205).
