Camas County is the most sparsely populated county in Idaho, but contains some of the most beautiful and rugged scenery.

Fairfield, the county seat and only major town, lies in the gateway of the rugged Soldier Mountain area. The distance from population centers have kept numbers of residents low, however, the outlook for growth over the next decade is sustainable and moderate.
