Camas Creek is a 64-mile (103 km) long [3] river in southern Idaho, United States, that is a tributary of the Big Wood River. [Note 1]
Beginning at an elevation of 5,807 feet (1,770 m) [2] west of Hill City in eastern Elmore County, it flows east into Camas County, where it is roughly paralleled by U.S. Route 20. About 10 miles (16 km) east of Fairfield, it forms the Camas- Blaine county line and continues east to its mouth at Magic Reservoir, [5] at an elevation of 4,800 feet (1,463 m). [1] Camas Creek has a 698-square-mile (1,810 km2) watershed. [4]
