The Kamp (German pronunciation: [kamp] (listen)) is a 168-kilometre-long (104 mi) river in northern Austria, left tributary of the Krems.
The source of the Kamp is on the border of Lower Austria and Upper Austria, near the town Liebenau, in the Mühlviertel. It flows generally east through Rappottenstein (where it receives its tributary Kleine Kamp), Zwettl, Krumau am Kamp, Gars am Kamp and Langenlois. The Kamp flows into the Krems near Grafenwörth, east of Krems. Most of the southern part of the valley belongs to the Kamptal vine region.
