Forest Hill - Camp Claiborne

About Us:

Camp Claiborne was situated in Rapides Parish about 18 miles south of Alexandria, off the intersection of US Highway 165 and present day La Highway 112, just north of the town of Forest Hill.

We remember driving the abandoned roads of the camp and stopping to shoot BB guns into some of the abandoned warehouses during the late 1950s.

We remain fascinated by the history of this camp, and have total respect for the men and women that served there.
