What Guests Are Saying

Blackfoot Reservoir Campground offers a peaceful getaway with abundant wildlife and great access to the reservoir, making it ideal for kayaking and biking. The campground is well-spaced and provides excellent night sky views, although cell reception is limited and shade is scarce. Some campers noted minor issues like reserved site confusion and bug presence, but many appreciated the clean facilities and overall tranquility of the area.

Great place to visit. The insects population worried me at first but they were primarily non biting, at least for me and a wonderful food supply for the bird population. I stayed my full allotment of days and actually came back for a few days at the end of the season. Hope to visit again some day

First time here and we were happily surprised at the amount of wild life. We took kayaks and bikes but spent the majority of our time on the reservoir. The bad is cell reception is sparse and shade is minimal but the camp sites are well spaced. Water was available at a few spots and there is a dump site and water on a separate loop. Great place to get away from things. Lower loop is power and the upper loop is more primitive. The pavilion has horseshoes and pits as well as a large sandbox. There is a walkway down to the lake but it looks like it's used for a lot of drinking evidenced by the amount of glass. The first boat ramp sees moderate usage so we went to the second further west that was used sparsely. We paddled out to the larger island just shy of 4 miles. 2-6 in the afternoons water is a bit more wind affected like most of Idaho. We will be back.

Best night sky view ever as there is very little on the horizon obstructing view. It was also one of the quietest nights I've had, sans some wildlife. Not sure if there is much to do there in the daytime. Facilities were clean.

It was ok. When I got there some older gentleman were in my spot. They didn't see the sign that was at ground level. They have stayed in the same spot fro many years. The reserved signs need to be at eye level .

Lovely campground and we saw moose down in the water! The site we had reserved was already occupied. We went to a different site. Cell coverage could only be had if we walked up to a high point of the campground. It was so windy (and some rain) the night we were there. Our trailer shook all night. Also, there was no water. The camp host said the well had recently gone out and had not yet been fixed.

JUST DRIVING THROUGH, SO ONE NIGHT WAS GOOD FOR US. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO HAVE A MAP OF THE CAMPGROUND AS YOU ENTERED. FINDING OUR SITE WAS DIFFICULT WITHOUT IT. SHORTLY AFTER SET UP, HUBS TOOK DOGO FOR A WALK AND HAD AN ENCOUNTER WITH A MAMMA MOOSE AND HER BABY OVER BY THE DUMP STATION. THEY WALKED ACROSS THE ROAD AND THROUGH THE PAVILION AREA AS OTHER CAMPERS PUSHED THEM INTO THE MARSH CHASING THEM FOR A PHOTO-OP....smh NO DUMPSTERS BUT HUGE RESIDENTIAL STYLE GARBAGE CANS. THE CAMPERS WERE FEW BUT THE BUGS WERE MANY.
