Camas County, Idaho
Camas County is a tiny patch of Idaho that most people never see. It’s tucked away in the south-central part of the state, where mountains meet high desert. Fairfield is the only real town in this county.
The Camas Prairie gives the county its name. It’s especially stunning when the camas lilies bloom in spring. Ranching and farming are still the backbone here. The Soldier Mountain in Sawtooth National Forest offers hiking and hunting, but it’s not exactly a tourist hotspot. Locals like it that way.
There’s a strong sense of community, the kind where everyone knows everyone. The county’s population is shrinking as young folks leave for bigger places. Those who stay value the wide-open spaces and quiet life.
