Kępa (German Kamp, Kreis Greifenberg / Pommern ) was an old fishing village that was located in the area of ​​today's Polish West Pomeranian Voivodeship in Gmina Trzebiatów ( Treptow ad Rega ) in the powiat Gryficki (district Greifenberg ). With the neighboring village of Wustrow (Polish: Ostrowo) it formed the municipality of Kamp-Wustrow, which until 1945 became part of the Neuhof district (Nowielice), the Robe registry office and the Treptow ad Rega district court (Trzebiatów) in the Greifenberg district and in the Stettin administrative district (from 1939 administrative district Köslin ) in the Prussian province of Pomerania .

Until 1945, Kamp was the eponymous place for Lake Kamper (Jezioro Resko Przymorskie), one of the Pomeranian beach lakes , on whose west bank it was located. For a long time, it was located in the middle of extensive swamps and could only be reached by water. Impassable roads led to neighboring towns such as Robe , which was the church village and where the Greifenberger Kleinbahn ( Polish State Railway between 1945 and 1961 ) had operated a station on the Treptow (Rega) –Deep railway line since 1912 .

The people of Kamper lived from fishing and meadow farming. In 1935 a sea airfield was created, which caused an economic upheaval for the place.

Tools from the Stone Age between 5500 and 2000 BC were found near Kamp. The village was first mentioned in a border regulation between the Belbuck monastery and the city of Treptow in 1307. In 1541 it was named as belonging to Belbuck (Polish: Białoboki) with eleven cottages.

In 1741 Kamp had 11 fireplaces with 51 residents, including a schoolmaster. In 1939 123 inhabitants were registered in the 856 hectare community.

On March 4, 1945, a large part of the population fled from the approaching Red Army troops . A day later, Soviet troops advanced here. The place became part of Poland as a result of the war and the last German residents were expelled in 1947 .

In the western part of Kamp there were nine old Saxon smoke houses, also called Lower Saxony houses, until 1946 . It was Fachhallenhaus houses timbered with gables and entrance to the Old Rega (Stara Rega) towards, 24 feet long and 8 to 1 meter wide. The apartments and stables are grouped around a hallway with a stove and a fountain.

In 1946, six houses were burned down by Soviet tracer bullets, the rest were lost in 1950. The village of Kamp, last called " Kępa " - like 17 other places in Poland - disappeared from the map.
