The hamlet was originally known simply as Camp or Kamp, with the name Camperduin ("dunes of Camp") denoting the dunes that separated it from the sea.[3] A church was built at Camp in 1689, but demolished in 1807.[4]
The village gave its name to the Battle of Camperdown, which took place off the coast.[4]
