In this answer the term death camp is taken to mean extermination camp, and not simply a concentration camp with a high death toll.
All extermination camps used some inmates as labourers to help with corpse disposal and some other tasks.
There were two dual camps of this kind:
Auschwitz - A part of Auschwitz-Birkenau (also referred to as Auschwitz II) was an extermination camp, while Auschwitz I, III and the satellite camps were extremely harsh concentration camps.
Majdanek - This camp was one of the very worst camps. It was both a very harsh concentration and it alsohad a section that was used for extermination.

Most death camps were part of a larger complex of camps, with one specific site acting as the death camp, and several subsidiary sites housing those who either worked at the death camp (as cleanup and labor crews), or at an adjacent force labor factor.
In the case of the Treblinka complex, Treblinka I was the labor camp, and Treblinka II was the death camp.
In common usage, however, a camp complex is labeled a death camp if it contained ANY site was used as an extermination camp. Thus, Treblinka is one of the 6 commonly-cited as Death Camps (Auschwitz, Treblinka, Chelmno, Belzec, Sobibor, and Majkanek).
