Mostly wooded, mountainous, recreational-land county — PA's least populated.
Cameron County is overwhelmingly forested — state forest, state game land, and private hunting tracts dominate. The market here is recreational, not agricultural, and that's how properties need to be priced and marketed.
Working farms exist but are extremely few. Most "farm" properties are really rural homesteads with small tillable or pasture sections along the Driftwood Branch Sinnemahoning or in the few cleared valleys.
The PA elk range is centered in and around Cameron County. Properties within or adjacent to the range carry meaningful recreational premiums — cabin sites with elk viewing routinely outperform comparable non-elk parcels.

Cameron County is honestly not a farm county. It's PA's least populated county, and the vast majority of land is forested — Susquehannock State Forest, Elk State Forest, state game land, and large private hunting tracts.
When properties do sell here, they're typically recreational acreage, hunting tracts, cabin sites, or small rural homesteads around Emporium, Driftwood, and Sinnemahoning. Pricing varies widely based on access, standing timber, water frontage, and proximity to the elk range — per-acre prices range from $800 for remote inaccessible wooded acreage to $4,500+ for well-located parcels with cabins, utilities, or elk-range frontage.
The buyer pool is specialized — hunters from across the Northeast, hunting clubs, elk-country lifestyle buyers, retirees looking for remote forest property, and timber investors. Most sales close November through March, and the right buyer often takes patient marketing rather than fast turnaround.
I list Cameron County properties as what they honestly are — recreational and lifestyle land, often with strong hunting or fishing appeal — and market to that specific buyer pool, not the farm-buyer pool. Honest descriptions and accurate pricing matter more here than in any other county.
Cameron County land typically sells in the $800–$4,500 per acre range depending on access, timber, and recreational features. Properties with cabins, elk-range frontage, or substantial standing timber can exceed that meaningfully.
Hunters, recreational buyers, timber investors, elk-country lifestyle buyers, and occasional retirees looking for remote forest property.
