Camp has the proud distinction of having the most All-Ireland medals per head of population of any village in Ireland.

In the mid-1950s, the parishes of Annascaul and Camp joined forces to establish the Annacaul GAA Club.

In 1993, the club played in the Kerry Senior Football Championship for the first time and made it to the final, where shorn of many of their star players due to injury, lost out to Laune Rangers.

Regarded by many as one of the all-time greats of Kerry football, he was captain of the 1946 All-Ireland winning team.

In 2011, clubs in West Kerry set up a scholarship to honour the memory of Annascaul footballer Brendan "Bawnie" O'Driscoll who collapsed during a match and died.
