Camas Meadows battle sites in southeastern Idaho consist of General Oliver O. Howard's Camp Calloway and about 3 miles away, Captain Randolph B. Norwood's encounter site. These two skirmish sites, which are associated with the 1877 Nez Perce War, represent yet another unsuccessful attempt by General Howard to capture the fleeing Nez Percé.

At a rest stop on I-15 at Dubois, Idaho, an interpretive sign, "Nez Perce War", briefly summarizes the events of the 1877 war in this area. Access is over 25 miles of seasonal unpaved road. Both sites are difficult to find. The sites are listed as National Historic Landmarks.
