Welcome to the Camp County
Chamber of Commerce!

The community in Camp County is made up of some the friendliest people you will find anywhere in the world. The people here make up a diverse and pleasant community. From the historic city of Pittsburg, to the beautiful scenic landscapes, you won't find a more pleasant place to live or visit. With family oriented festivals, great shopping, and local school events, there is always plenty to do in Camp County.

Farmer's Market

The Pittsburg Farmer’s Market is growing each year. We signed up more than two dozen local farmers in 2009 and we hope to expand the market this year to include canned goods and other items as we seek to give consumers another reason to shop Main Street! Every Saturday – May 8 – August 28 -- local farmers will set up shop on Tapp Street from 8 a.m. to noon.

 Pioneer Days

The community enjoyed stepping back in time as the Chamber brought back Pioneer Days April 4. It was a celebration of Pittsburg's rich heritage with vendor booths featuring handcrafted gifts, art, crafts and jewelry. We started on a small scale this year, but hope to see Pioneer Days grow next year and become a new "old" Pittsburg tradition.
