Camas Meadows Battle Sites, also known as Camas Meadows Camp and Battle Sites, are sites of the Battle of Camas Creek. The Nez Perce captured about 150 horses and mules of the pursuing army, and escaped to continue their trek for another 6 weeks.

They are two sites of about 40 acres each, about 5 miles apart.

They were declared a National Historic Landmark in 1989.citation|title=PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Text/89001081.pdf National Register of Historic Places Registration: Camas Meadows camp and battle sites] |429 KB|date=July, 1988 |author=Merle W.
