A camera system 1 for a vehicle body part 50 mounted to a vehicle 100 comprises a camera unit 2 with a lens 21, a cleaning unit 3 for cleaning the lens, and an actuator 4 for moving the camera unit. The actuator may be controlled by a control unit 6. The camera unit is movable between an extended position P1 enabling observation of the vehicle environment, and a withdrawn position P2 wherein the camera unit is withdrawn into an interior 50i of the vehicle body part for cleaning. In this cleaning position, a nozzle 31 emits a jet J of cleaning liquid WL onto the lens through a gap OG between the lens and an inner side S2 of the vehicle body part. A receptacle 5 may receive the jet of cleaning liquid having passed the camera lens. A drain system 60 may be provided to drain the used cleaning fluid.
