36 Camelopardalis is a single star in the northern circumpolar constellation of Camelopardalis. It is visible to the naked eye as a dim point of light with an apparent visual magnitude of +5.3. Parallax measurements provide a distance estimate of approximately 710 light years away from the Sun, and it is drifting away from the Earth with a radial velocity of −1.15 km/s.
36 Camelopardalis has a stellar classification of K1 III-IIIb, which indicates that it is a K-type giant star with a mild underabundance of CH molecules in its spectrum. At present it has 1.24 times the mass of the Sun but has expanded to an enlarged diameter of {{solar radius|42|link=y}}. It shines at {{solar luminosity|714|link=y}} from its photosphere at an effective temperature of {{val|4,589|fmt=commas|ul=K}}, giving it an orange glow. 36 Cam's metallicity is around solar level and spins slowly with a projected rotational velocity of {{val|3|ul=km/s}}.
