The council has a gonfalon that depicts the Municipal Coat of Arms in the center. Above it is "H. AYUNTAMIENTO" arched. Under it is the text "OCAMPO, GT." The top and bottom have a fringe. The council told me the design of the coat of arms was painted onto the gonfalon by the painter Nabor Quiroz Aranda in 1956, but this cannot be confirmed.

The coat of arms of Ocampo was adopted in 1956, being designed and oil-painted by Nabor Quiroz Aranda. Description provided by the council:
It is divided into four sections; in the upper-left, the image of Saint John the Baptist, patron saint of the place is presented [by a tree and the river]. In its upper-right section, the figures of a cactus and a box full of prickly pears and a maguey; joined to this is the "ococote" or gourd which works for the extraction of aguamiel, these are the most common plants of the municipality for the aridity of the land in which it is situated.
