The Story of Camp

The community of Camp got its name from a nearby stream called Camp Creek. It's common for places to be named after natural features like rivers or hills.

A post office was opened in Camp in 1890. This was an important place for people to send and receive mail. The post office served the community for many years, but it eventually closed down in 1950.
