Camp is a
territory which lie more than 3.5 miles from the spire of Christ Church Cathedral, Stanley.[2] It takes its name from the term "Camp", which refers to the territory outside the city of Stanley and RAF Mount Pleasant. Camp is one of two constituencies in the Falklands, the other being Stanley
.
The Camp constituency was created at the
block voting. This was reduced to three in 1997
following a constitutional amendment. In 2009 a new constitution came into force which replaced the Legislative Council with the Legislative Assembly, with all members of the Legislative Council becoming members of the new Legislative Assembly.
