Campen is a village in the region of East Frisia, in Lower Saxony, Germany. It is part of the municipality of Krummhörn.

Although Campen is only a small village, it still has two churches: the Reformed village church from the thirteenth century and the Old-Reformed church from 1905. Near the village is the Campen lighthouse. It was built in 1889 and has been in use since 1891. It is 65.3 meters high, making it the tallest lighthouse in Germany.[1]

The village of Campen was first attested as Campe maiori in the 10th century.[1]
