It is located north of Fatum and southeast of Tzum, of which it is a part administratively. The settlement of the hamlet is located on the Wommelserweg, near the intersection with the Slotwei of the hamlet of Koum.
De Kampen is a hamlet located on a terp. In 1433 it was mentioned as Op dae Campen and in 1640 and 1664 as De Campen, a name that would indicate pieces of land or fields that were separated. It then consisted of one farm that bore this name, which is still the name of a distillery in the hamlet. Three other farms were added in the 19th century.
