18 Camelopardalis is a yellow-white hued star in the northern constellation of Camelopardalis. It has an apparent visual magnitude is 6.44.[2] Using the measured annual parallax shift of 23.30 mas, its distance can be estimated at around 140 light years. The star is moving away from the Sun with a radial velocity of +33 km/s[2] and has an annual proper motion of 0.251 arc seconds.[10]

The spectrum of this star matches a stellar classification of F8 V,[2] indicating this is an ordinary F-type main-sequence star. It is around 5.3 billion years old and has 1.2 times the mass of the Sun.[6] The star is radiating 4.5[7] times the Sun's luminosity from its photosphere at an effective temperature of 5,908 K.[6]
