About this campground
Tucked away in the heart of Idaho's backcountry, this hidden gem of a dispersed campground offers a truly unique wilderness experience accessible primarily by air. Nestled beside the Chamberlain Basin airstrip, it serves as a peaceful overnight haven for adventurous pilots and their families who touch down for an evening under the stars. When autumn arrives, the campground transforms into a bustling basecamp where hunting outfitters and guides prepare for expeditions into the surrounding wilderness. While amenities are minimal – just essential outhouses and designated fire rings for evening gatherings – the rustic simplicity is part of its charm, offering visitors an authentic taste of Idaho's untamed backcountry.
The Chamberlain Basin Camping Area is a dispersed, primitive camping location adjacent to an airstrip. It is used primarily by pilots and their families, as well as outfitters during hunting season.
