Chamley’s Camels: Williston family brings unique animals to Bakken

Published March 3, 2026

Will Chamley loves his animals. That includes his four camels: Bert, Joe, Chip and Dale.

“They’re lovers. They love attention,” he said.

Will has always been intrigued by them, which led to his first purchase three years ago.
“They are much smarter than a horse, so they are easy to train,” said Will.

With the help of a trainer who stops by every year, Will and his wife Anita learned to handle the camels and treat them like pets.
