The Camp contains various small settlements, such as Goose Green, Darwin and Port Howard, which are usually little more than several houses. Port Louis in the north of East Falkland is the oldest permanent settlement in the islands, established by the French in 1764.
There are also some British military installations such as Mount Pleasant, and the most southerly Suspension Bridge in the world. Many parts are still mined from the time of the Falklands War.
Sheep farming is the main industry.
It derives from the Spanish Campo meaning 'countryside'.
