We stayed at Blowout Campground over the July 4th weekend with family and friends, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish! The campground was incredibly clean and well-maintained, with bathrooms and a trash bin available, which made everything so much more convenient!!!! We spent most of our time boating on the lake, which was just a short walk from our campsite. The access to the lake is one of the best parts of this campground!!!!It definitely made our days on the water so easy and stress-free. On top of that, the views were absolutely stunning. Surrounded by nature, water, and great vibes!!! It was the truly the perfect getaway. The atmosphere was family-friendly and relaxed, and we genuinely felt like we could unwind and enjoy the moment. Whether you’re camping with friends or bringing the whole family, this spot is ideal. We loved it so much and will definitely be returning for future trips!

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.

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.

Pretty good camp camp spots, alot of shade in majority of them and good views of the Reservoir. Alot of traffic during the day due to the boat ramp. You could smell the bathrooms from time to time with wind gusts. Wish it had a little bit more of a beach, extremely rocky.

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... This is a tidy, comfortable, and very pleasant basic campground.

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.
