Kamsdorf is situated at an elevation of 320 m in the district Saalfeld-Rudolstadt, about 10 km east of the district town, Saalfeld / Saale, in eastern Thuringia.

Minori Kamsdorf (Kleinkamsdorf) was first mentioned in a written document in 1349, großen Kampstorff (Großkamsdorf) was first mentioned in 1381. In 1574 it became part of the Electorate of Saxony. After the Congress of Vienna, it became a Prussian exclave, bordering the principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt to the east, south and west, and the duchy of Saxe-Meiningen to the north. Together with the administrative district Erfurt of the Prussian province Saxony Kamsdorf became part of Thuringia in 1945. In 1950, Groß- and Kleinkamsdorf were merged into the municipality of Kamsdorf. In 1952 it was placed into the district Gera and in 1994 into the district Saalfeld-Rudolstadt.
