The town has a thriving commercial centre, which pretty much defines the historical conservation core of the town, and which reflects its role as the commercial centre for the surrounding moorland and coastal villages. The community comprehensive was the first in Cornwall; there is a county primary school, a leisure centre and a library. With banks, library, post office, lawyers, estate agents, accountant, butcher, chemist, greengrocers, newsagent, baker, a Learning Shop, two historic pubs, a Chinese take-away, a Nepalese restaurant, a fish and chip take-away and much much more, Camelford is right on the A39 (the Atlantic Highway) and original route into and out of Cornwall.

With the Tourist Information Centre doubling as an independent museum and art gallery; an arts centre; and two other art galleries Camelford has become the hub of the arts in North Cornwall.
