From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Camp Rock Spring was a U. S. Army post established at Rock Spring to guard the mail and other traffic along the Mojave Road.

In late 1866 an Army post was established at this spot and called Camp Rock Spring, California. It was maintained through 1867 and into 1868 at which time the U.S. Mail was taken off the Mojave Road and the presence of the Army no longer required. [1][2]
