The Camp Lake is a 183 m long lake on the Ingrid Christensen Coast of the East Antarctic Princess Elisabeth country . In the Vestfold Mountains it is 800 m west of the head of the Weddell Arm of the Breidnes Peninsula .
Aerial photographs of the US American Operation Highjump (1946–1947) were used to map the lake. It got its name because a team as part of the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions set up camp here at the northeast end of the lake in 1955.
