Here on the central Oregon coast there are several such known areas -- Camp 1, Camp 12, etc. -- during that time period. As I understand it, the camps were convenient to the railroad line which carried logs to the mill. Today they are nothing more than the area where each camp was located (although Camp 1 now is a private residence). The camps and their locations are known more through local lore and memory than anything else; their locations aren't marked on modern maps. Perhaps contacting the county historical society or even a local Chamber of Commerce would give you more information. Good luck!
