Discovered this lovely spot while driving between Palisades, ID and Jackson, WY while on the road for work. It's designed to be a quick boat drop... Which means the evenings are very quiet times. Which also means the sunsets are worth the wait. Look for the lone, male broadtailed hummingbird among the fireweed blossoms. He is good company. Recommended just as a spot for riverside catharsis. The rest is gravy.

First come first serve,....17$ a night no hook up and some hook ups, some back in and some pull through. Fires allowed, a day use area just below with a boat ramp but water is so low you can't use it at all. You can hear traffic at times other than that pretty quiet. Nice flat spots qith sand plots for tents too. Bathrooms...NO showers.

Just a drive through to check it out and let my Golden take a swim in the reservoir. Nice clean place and great to see the reservoir full with snow capped mountains reflecting on the water.

This is a tidy, comfortable, and very pleasant basic campground. Blowout offers one of the best combinations of access, facilities, and privacy among the Palisades Reservoir campgrounds. The hosts are fantastic and keep the place in top shape, including the most immaculate campground pit toilets I've used. The only drawback of the campground is its location near the highway, but traffic quiets down substantially during quiet hours. I would recommend this place.
