McCamey is a city in Upton County, Texas, United States. The population was 1,805 at the 2000 census. The city has been declared by the Texas legislature as the "Wind Energy Capital of Texas" because of the many wind farms that have been built in the area. Its history, however, is primarily that of an oil boomtown.
