}}Campton is a village in the Central Bedfordshire district of Bedfordshire, England. It is part of the civil parish of Campton and Chicksands (population 1,699)[1] with the nearby Chicksands. It is about {{convert|9|mi}} south of Bedford, and is about {{convert|9|mi}} north-west from Letchworth and sits on a tributary of the River Ivel.[2] It is just to the west of Shefford. The 13th century Church of All Saints is in the centre of the village.[3]

Campton is mentioned in the Domesday Book. The entry reads: Chambeltone: Ralph de Lanquetot from Walter Giffard; Fulbert from Willian d'Eu; Thurstan.[4] The name Campton is derived from a British stream name similar to the name Camel in Cornwall.[5]

Chicksands is to the north of the village, and consists almost entirely of the wooded Chicksands Priory estate. It was used as an American military base until 1995[6] and returned to the British military. If was first reopened as the Defence Intelligence and Security Centre (DISC) in 1997,[7] which in turn became the Joint Intelligence Training Group (JITG) in 2015.[8]

For local government purposes it forms part of Central Bedfordshire Council and is within the Mid Bedfordshire parliamentary constituency, whose MP is currently Nadine Dorries of the Conservative Party.[9]
