Camp Watts was located on what is now known as Union Camp Road in Notasulga, AL. This location is
currently private property and is used for cattle. This location was once a hospital, camp, train depot and supply point for confederate soldiers during the civil war. Camp Watts was commanded by Major William G. Swanson in 1862. This Camp was capable of supporting anywhere from 2000-3000 men at any given time. This location served as a camp of conscripts for training soldiers and picking up supplies as well.
