Blackfoot Reservoir Campground

About

Blackfoot Reservoir Campground occupies the southwest shore of the Blackfoot Reservoir, an 18,000-surface-acre impoundment that ranks as southeastern Idaho's second-largest. Managed by the Bureau of Land Management, the campground provides 16 fully developed RV sites featuring 50/30-amp electrical hookups, graveled pads, tent pads, lean-to shelters, picnic tables, and fire rings. An additional 12 standard sites (B1-B12) offer gravel pads, tables, and fire rings without hookups. Four of the developed sites are pull-through; the remainder are back-in. Site #7 and the fishing platform are ADA accessible. Facilities include four double vault restrooms, multiple potable water hydrants for tank fills, a seasonal RV dump station, and trash service. Two concrete boat ramps provide lake access, including a double-lane ramp with accessible docks. The reservoir supports year-round fishing for cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, smallmouth bass, and cutbows. Gull Island within the reservoir hosts one of Idaho's largest nesting colonies of American white pelicans, double-crested cormorants, and California gulls. Deer, elk, and moose frequent the shoreline. The campground lies along the Pioneer Historic Byway (Highway 34) between Soda Springs and Jackson Hole, placing it within reach of Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Bear Lake, and the St. Anthony Sand Dunes. Nearby Soda Springs attractions include Hooper Springs Park, the world's only captive geyser, and Oregon Trail wagon ruts.
