Camp Fuji is an installation of the United States Marine Corps and the Japan Ground Self Defense Force. It is located near the town of Gotemba in the Shizuoka Prefecture of Japan, at the base of Mount Fuji. Camp Fuji is one of several Camps of the Marine Corps Base Camp Butler complex.

The 309-acre (1.25 km²) facility includes 34 acres of ranges and maneuver area to serve as a combined arms training area. Units from across the Pacific (including those participating in the Unit Deployment Program) come to Camp Fuji to train. The facilities are considered spartan compared to most military bases, with no family housing, limited military exchange and recreation facilities, and limited medical facilities.
