Camp Hansen is a United States Marine Corps base located in Okinawa, Japan. The camp is situated in the town of Kin, near the northern shore of Kin Bay, and is the second-northernmost major installation on Okinawa. It is part of Marine Corps Base Camp Butler, which itself is not a physical base and encompasses all Marine Corps installations on Okinawa.Camp Hansen is named for Medal of Honor recipient Dale M.
