Camp station was located on Willow Street in Yarmouth, Massachusetts, on Cape Cod. It was used during the summer months as a stop for the adjacent Yarmouth Camp Ground. The wooden board-and-batten station was built in 1863. To accommodate high ridership, the platform was extended by 240 feet (73 m) in 1866. The disused station building was sold in 1925 and reused as a cottage in Dennisport.[1]
