Camden County features relatively flat terrain with the Delaware River forming its western border and numerous tributaries including the Cooper River flowing through the area. The landscape transitions from urban areas in the west to more rural sections with better agricultural soils in the east.

Agricultural production centers on nursery operations, vegetable production for nearby urban markets, and some field crop production. The county's proximity to Philadelphia creates opportunities for direct marketing and agritourism.
