Camp Warner
Camp Warner was a United States Army outpost in south-central Oregon, United States. Camp Warner was located at two different sites approximately apart. The Army called both sites Camp Warner. However, the first site became known as Old Camp Warner. It was used as winter quarters in 1866–1867 and then abandoned. The second, more developed site is generally known as Fort Warner (or New Camp Warner), although the Army never officially designated it as a fort. Fort Warner was used as a supply depot and administrative headquarters from 1867 to 1874 during a protracted Army campaign against Northern Paiute bands in Eastern Oregon and Northern California. Today, nothing remains of either Old Camp Warner or Fort Warner.

In 1865, the Army decided it needed an outpost in the Warner Valley of south-central Oregon to facilitate the interdiction of Indian raiding parties passing through the area. Army scouts from Fort Vancouver selected a site along Honey Creek on the west side of the Warner Lakes in what is today Lake County, Oregon. In 1866, a unit of the 14th Infantry Regiment was sent from Fort Boise to establish the fort. The 14th Infantry came by way of Fort Harney, arriving on the east side of the Warner Lakes in late summer. The Army was unable to cross the Warner Lakes, a chain of lakes and wetlands that stretches more than north to south. As a result, the soldiers decided to build their outpost east of the lakes on the eastern slope of Hart Mountain. It was completed on August 10, 1866. The post was named Camp Warner after Captain William H. Warner, a topographical engineer who had explored the area before being killed by Indians in 1849.〔"Stone Bridge and the Oregon Central Military Wagon Road", ''National Register of Historic Places Inventory – Nomination Form'', National Register of Historic Places, United States Park Service, United States Department of Interior, Washington, D.C., 13 August 1974.〕〔McArthur, Lewis A. and Lewis L.

The camp was hastily built at an elevation of , so it was not well suited for the harsh winters typical of Oregon's high desert country. As a result, the men had a very difficult winter. It was reported that on several occasions, it was so cold inside the camp building the entire detachment had to march around the parade ground all night to keep from freezing.〔Bach, Melva M., ("Camp Warner Moved to Honey Creek – 1867" ), ''History of the Fremont National Forest, Fremont National Forest'', United States Forest Service, United States Department of Agriculture, Lakeview, Oregon, 1981, p. 14-16.〕 One sergeant did freeze to death during a winter snow storm.〔〔
