Biohazard and Crime Scene Remediation in Campo, CA

Campo is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in the Mountain Empire area of southeastern San Diego County, and its name is Spanish for "Field."

Campo had a population of 2,955 at the 2020 census.

The Campo census-designated place actually covers three distinct settlements: Campo itself, Cameron Corners about a mile to the north, and Morena Village.

Campo sits directly on the United States–Mexico border, and the border at Campo marks the southern terminus and trailhead of the Pacific Crest Trail.

Brothers Silas and Luman Gaskill opened the Gaskill Brothers' Stone Store in 1868, and in 1875 the store was the site of a bandit raid and shootout that left eight men dead — a gunfight deadlier than the famous shootout at the O.K. Corral.

Morena Dam, built between 1896 and 1912 to supply water to San Diego, created Lake Morena just west of the community.

Campo became a station on the San Diego and Arizona Railway when the line was completed in 1919.

During World War II, Campo hosted Camp Lockett, where African American Buffalo Soldiers of the U.S. Cavalry patrolled the border on horseback until 1944, and Italian prisoners of war were held at a camp in Cameron Corners.

Campo is home to three museums: the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum, which runs historic train rides, the Motor Transport Museum, and the Gaskill Brothers' Stone Store Museum.

Most of Campo's historic town center is owned by a single private owner, and the collection of dozens of buildings was put up for sale as one property listed at $6.6 million.
