The De-Camp Nunatak is an isolated nunatak in East Antarctica Victoria Land . It rises 6 km southeast of Welcome Mountain in the group of the Outback Nunatakker .
The United States Geological Survey mapped it based on its own measurements and aerial photographs of the United States Navy from 1959 to 1964. The Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names named it in 1970 after Michael A. de Camp († 2013), biologist at McMurdo Station between 1966 and 1967.
