I am aware of the Confederate training camp of Camp Moore in Louisiana, but i have not been able to find any other Confederate training centers. There had to be other confederate training centers.
I am interested in learning about Confederate training centers in the Confederate Army where Confederate soldiers would goto train when they first enlisted in the Confederate Army.

What are some of the other Confederate training centers for Confederate soldiers in the Confederate Army?

Camp McDonald and Camp Stephens are well known Confederate training camps in GA. There was also a very short lived camp NW of Savannah called Camp Davis that existed to handle the large influx of troops during the call for troops in early '62. It apparently only existed from March '62 thru May '62.
Nice write up in the Effingham Herald about it:

Fort Randolp was built in Tenn on the Mississippi River to recuit & train. That is where N B Forrest enlisted.

Grenada, Miss had a large camp where many units net to form into regiments. Jeff Davis later visited it.
