The village and civil parish of Castle Camps sits in the district of South Cambridgeshire in Cambridgeshire, England, close to the Suffolk border and within easy commuting distance of Cambridge. Perched on rising ground, it commands views over agricultural countryside and retains a compact, rural character of lanes, farms and scattered hamlets.

The local economy remains largely agricultural, supplemented by residents who commute to larger towns, and community life is typical of a small English village with a village hall, seasonal events and a handful of local services.
