Camp Koehler was a 240-bed Level I work/medical camp located adjacent to Kinross Correctional Facility and was under there administration. Camp Koehler, which opened in 1988, included the Housing unit, a relatively new administration building, and an attached new Food Service building. The Administrative Building housed the offices of the Camp Assistant Deputy Warden and secretary and a visiting room which also functioned as a programming center. Approximately one quarter mile away was a building which housed the offices of Maintenance and Public Works departments.

A small compound, Camp Koehler had two separate yards and prisoner recreation areas located north of the buildings and connected by a pedestrian gate. The smaller yard contained a basketball and volleyball court, a weightlifting building, and various tables for leisure time activities. The larger yard area contained the horse-shoe activity areas and additional tables located in a grove of trees.

As of June 19, 2005, Camp Koehler had been converted to a housing unit and is now officially part of the Kinross Correctional Facility.
