In the US, there were three types of "internment camp": WCCA Civilian Assembly Centers, WRA Relocation Centers, and the DOJ's Internment Camps. The Pacific coastal states of California, Oregon, and Washington had quite a few camps, but there were also camps in New Mexico, Texas, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, and Montana.

There were several types of camps in a variety of states. However, there were two camps in Arizona specifically designated as "Internment" camps.

Gila River War Relocation Center was located roughly 50 miles to the southeast of Phoenix, Arizona.

Poston War Relocation Center was located in the Colorado River Indian Reservation, over the strenuous objections of the Natives, who found it to be unfair to the Japanese Americans. That reservation is in Yuma County.
