From Idaho Falls, ID go about 58 miles southeast on US Hwy 26.
From Alpine, WY go about 12 miles northwest on US Hwy 26.
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.
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.
