Camp was born in London during the mid-1930s and, as a child during World War II, was evacuated to the United States with his mother and sister.1 He settled in America and began performing at a young age, initially billed under the names Robin Camp and Bob Camp. He later adopted the forename Hamilton after joining the Subud spiritual movement; for a period he billed himself as Hamid Hamilton Camp.1 He became a professional actor while still in his early teens, beginning his screen career in 1946 at the age of twelve.1
Camp first attracted wider attention as a folk singer in the early 1960s. He performed at the 1960 Newport Folk Festival and recorded alongside Bob Gibson; their 1961 live album Bob Gibson & Bob Camp at the Gate of Horn became a benchmark of the era's folk revival.1 Camp's most enduring musical legacy is the song "Pride of Man," which he composed and recorded in 1964. The song found its largest audiences through cover versions by Quicksilver Messenger Service and Gordon Lightfoot.1 A 1968 single, "Here's to You," reached number 76 on the Billboard Hot 100.1 From 1969 to 1971 he performed with the group The True Brethren and composed incidental music for the Tony Award-winning Broadway production Paul Sills' Story Theatre.1
Camp made his Broadway debut in 1964 in the musical revue The Committee.1 His best-known live-action television role was Andrew Hummell in the CBS sitcom He & She (1967-68). He also appeared in the feature films The Graduate (1967) and Heaven Can Wait (1978), and made guest appearances across a broad range of television series including The Monkees, M*A*S*H, The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Three's Company, Cheers, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and Star Trek: Voyager.1
From the 1980s onward, Camp became a prolific voice actor in animation. His most prominent recurring role was Fenton Crackshell and his alter ego GizmoDuck in Disney's DuckTales and Darkwing Duck. He also voiced Greedy Smurf and Harmony Smurf in The Smurfs, and contributed to Disney series including Adventures of the Gummi Bears, TaleSpin, and Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers. He voiced Merlin in several Disney productions and later provided voice work for the video game Halo 2 (2004).1
Camp guest starred in the The Real Ghostbusters episode "Ghost Busted," where he voiced three separate characters: a Pretzel Vendor, a Crimelord, and the 1st Robber.2
Camp returned to the Ghostbusters franchise as a guest voice in Extreme Ghostbusters, appearing in the episode "Moby Ghost."3
Camp married Rasjadah Lisa Jovita Cisz in 1961. They had six children together. His wife died in 2002. At his death, Camp was survived by his six children and thirteen grandchildren.1
Hamilton Camp died of a heart attack on October 2, 2005, in Los Angeles, California. He was 70 years old.1
