He was born in Hanover, Germany, and upon coming to America, learned the trade of a brickmaker, but soon discontinued that occupation and accepted a position as clerk in the National Hotel.

He owned and conducted the Pavilion Hotel, later known as the St. James, from 1861 to 1886; in the latter year he sold out to C. H. Clarke, and moved onto a farm formerly owned by William Johnson, which was located on the east side of Adams street.
He was always a stanch Democrat, and served in the council, as assessor and in many minor offices. Mr. Camp was one of the promoters, and was a large stockholder, of the Rochester Insurance Company; he was a stockholder in the Rochester Flint Vial & Bottle Works; a stockholder in the Olive Stove Works, a member of the Rochester Heat & Light Company, a director in the Big Beaver Bridge Company, and a stockholder in the Keystone Tumbler Company.
