Camp Creek is a stream in St. Francis county in southeast Missouri.[1] It is a tributary of Wolf Creek.

The stream headwaters are just east of the community of Ogborn at 37°50′12″N 90°25′33″W / 37.83667°N 90.42583°W / 37.83667; -90.42583 and it flows southeast passing under Missouri Route EE northeast of Farmington to its confluence with Taylor Branch just north of Missouri Route 32 at 37°47′32″N 90°22′18″W / 37.79222°N 90.37167°W / 37.79222; -90.37167. Wolf Creek begins at the confluence of Camp Creek and Taylor Branch.[2][3][1]

Camp Creek, historically known as "Camp Branch", most likely was so named on account of a campground near its course.[4]
