Camden Battlefield, Revolutionary War battlefield in Kershaw County, South Carolina.

Camden Battlefield is a Revolutionary War battlefield located north of the town of Camden in Kershaw County, South Carolina. The grounds cover open fields and patches of woodland, much of which remains farmland today, crossed by roads that divide the area into sections.

In August 1780, British forces under General Cornwallis defeated the Continental Army led by General Horatio Gates here in one of the worst American losses of the southern campaign. The defeat forced the Continental forces back and gave Britain firmer control over the southern colonies for a period.

The name comes from the Battle of Camden, fought on 16 August 1780. A stone marker on Flat Rock Road stands where Baron Johann de Kalb fell, and the fields and woods remain largely as they were then. The site is a National Historic Landmark, designated in 1961.

Flat Rock Road (S-28-58) runs through the middle of the battlefield, and U.S. Route 521 forms its eastern boundary, so the ground can be crossed by car. A marker on Flat Rock Road shows where Baron de Kalb fell. The terrain is largely grassland and forest, as it was in 1780.

The night before the main battle saw both armies marching toward each other in the dark, colliding unintentionally around 2 AM in an unplanned skirmish. This chance encounter in the dark shaped how both sides positioned themselves for the fight the following morning.
