Camp Blanding	FL	1942	1	An artilleryman (Cullum 10246).

Camp Cotton	TX	1914	1	"El Paso, Tex." in (Cullum 2916).
Camp Custer (3)	NV	1876	1	(Cullum 1660). But see next: I suspect one of the two is in error as to the state.
Camp Custer (4)	NB	1876	1	(Cullum 2256). But see preceding: I suspect one of the two is in error as to the state.
Camp Dalton	MA	1898	1	(Cullum 2563): looks like a temporary camp for mustering in Massachusetts State Volunteers for the Spanish-American War.

Camp Devin (2)	WY	1878	1	(Cullum 2297).
Camp Dick Robinson	KY	1863	1	(Cullum 1986); also in FW's own entry, George H. Thomas. No doubt a Civil War training camp.
Camp Drywood Creek	KS	1872‑1873	1	(Cullum 2384); but I also find a trace of it on p246 in House Docs, 42d Congress, 3d Session (1872‑73) — at GoogleBooks — a Post Surgeon being stationed there.

Camp Emmet Crawford	IA	1908	1	(Cullum 2371): I have a suspicion this is a mistake in Cullum, and that it should be WY.

Camp Hayes (3)	VA	1862	0	Temporary Civil War camp, see Ch. 17 of this bio of Rutherford Hayes: "Saturday, January 4, 1862. -- Major Comly calls his camp at Raleigh — notice: Raleigh, VA, not NC! — 'Camp Hayes.' "
Camp Henry	TN	1793	1	Not the Civil War Fort; mentioned by John Sevier in his diary, Oct. 24, 1793.
Camp Hoffman (2)	KS	1867	1	(Cullum 2152), characterized as "on the Republican River". Pour mémoire, there's a slot already prepared for a different one, Camp Hoffman (MD), in Fort Lincoln (4).

Camp Lewis (2)	MT	18775	1	(Cullum 2380), in which it might be a mistake for Camp Lewis in WA = Fort Lewis (1), or might be the old location of Fort Lewis (2) — see the entry.
Camp Limestone Creek	KS	1872‑1873	2	(Cullum 2362) • (Cullum 2384); but I also find a trace of it on p231 of the Official Register of the United States, 1871 — at GoogleBooks — an Assistant Surgeon being posted there.

Camp Mackall	NC	1943‑1944	1	An artilleryman (Cullum 10246) posted there.
Camp Mackenzie	GA	1898	2	(Cullum 2278) and (Cullum 2837): in the latter it is said to be at Augusta; but I suspect that this camp underlies many mentions of just plain "Augusta, Ga." in post assignments in Cullum.
Camp on Marias River	MT	1871‑1878	6	(Cullum 1986) • (Cullum 2018) • (Cullum 2088) • (Cullum 2409) • (Cullum 2434) all in 1878 and called "Camp"; (Cullum 2245) in 1871, not called "Camp".

Camp Nevin	KY	1861	2	(Cullum 1235) • (Cullum 1734).
Camp Osborne	ID	1859	1	May be Osborn, which is what (Cullum 2439) has, but I think that's a mistake. ▸ Interesting resource: 1900 census of all the soldiers at the post.

Camp Price	AZ	1882	1	(Cullum 2537).
Camp Phoenix (2)	LA	1831	1	(Cullum 463).

Camp on Tongue River	MT	1876‑1877	3	(Cullum 1318) • (Cullum 2257) • (Cullum 2501). May not be a real camp, always in connection with the battle against Crazy Horse, Jan. 8, 1877 and the months leading up to it, best details on my site are in Ganoe, ch. 9: May 29, 1876 thru Jan. 8, 1877.
