Camp Last Light
9. Camp Last Light
32mi from Kooskia · 1 site · Tent, RV
Camp Last Light is a private, primitive campsite perched high above the Joseph Plains, offering breathtaking views of some of Idaho County’s most rugged and beautiful landscapes.
This is a true dry campsite—there is no running water, electricity, restroom, or developed facilities, so guests should arrive prepared for a primitive camping experience.
However, firewood is provided, and while there is no water available directly at the campsite, the camp host lives year-round just three minutes away and can provide a reasonable amount of water upon request.
What Camp Last Light lacks in traditional campground amenities, it makes up for with unmatched views, privacy, convenience, and location.
For those familiar with dispersed camping in the Joseph Plains, this campsite offers an elevated experience: the simplicity and solitude of backcountry camping combined with a private designated site, provided firewood, a nearby host, and an ideal basecamp for hunting and exploring the surrounding wilderness.
For hunters, the location is especially unique. Camp Last Light offers some of the best glassing opportunities in the entire Joseph Plains area, with sweeping views across miles of surrounding terrain. Guests can glass directly from camp, watching distant ridges, draws, and timber without ever leaving their chair.
The campsite sits on 25.85 acres of private, forested land directly adjacent to approximately 2,308 acres of public land, greatly expanding the hunting and recreational opportunities available right from camp.
Instead of spending each morning breaking down camp or driving long distances, hunters can use Camp Last Light as a comfortable basecamp and head directly into a large area of public ground.
Camping does not include hunting privileges on the private 25.85 acres where the campground is located. However, registered guests may add private-land hunting access for an additional $50 per day. This provides the opportunity to hunt the property itself, subject to all applicable Idaho hunting seasons, licenses, tags, and regulations.
Camp Last Light may not be the cheapest place to pitch a tent in the Joseph Plains—and that is intentional. What you are paying for is a rare location that offers what typical dispersed campsites cannot: incredible views, exceptional glassing, direct access to thousands of acres of hunting country, optional private-land hunting access, and true peace and solitude.
Camp Last Light is not an RV park or developed campground. It is a private, secluded basecamp designed for those who value adventure, privacy, and the beauty of the Joseph Plains.
With incredible views, excellent glassing, firewood waiting upon arrival, thousands of acres of hunting opportunities nearby, and a local host just minutes away, it offers a unique outdoor experience unlike any other.

Do you like fishing? How about fishing in the mountains surrounded by forests and killer campgrounds? Well then you’re gonna love Dworshak Reservoir; it not only houses the largest steelhead trout hatchery in the states, it also has killer views and an impressive dam. If fishing isn’t your thing, you’re still in luck as there’s plenty of hiking and biking trails throughout the forest, as well as a sick swimming beach and water galore to bring your sailboat or try your hand at water skiing and tubing. Camping is steps away from water views too. Dworshak is sure to become a quick favorite; nothing fishy about it!

I had the camp area to myself, and the Porta potty was the cleanest smelling, and cleanest overall, I ever experienced. It was very quiet albeit started out warm for my one night stay. It cooled down in the hours before dawn and I corrected a few things to make the next evening, in Boise, a bit more comfortable.

Wonderful spot. We will definitely be returning. Communication was consistent and clear- directions were easy to follow and the space was easy to use. The hosts were kind and helpful. Renee shared all sorts of goodies from their garden. While the space is in town, it felt private and had a nice on-the-farm feel.
