Camp White was an Army training base in Jackson County, Oregon, United States, during World War II. It was also the site of a prisoner-of-war (POW) camp. According to Oregon Geographic Names, the camp was named in honor of George A. White, who served as adjutant general for Oregon starting in 1915. The camp was dedicated September 15, 1942, and deactivated in April 1946. There was a Camp White post office from 1942–1960, when the name was changed to White City.
