Camping at Alpine North Loop near Targhee

Public campground · Targhee · 16 campsites · 3 group

A forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Recreation here is centered on nearby Palisades Reservoir boat ramps are about 2 miles away in Alpine and another ramp sits roughly 10 miles farther at Blowout Campground so boating, water skiing, swimming, canoeing and both lake and shore fishing are the main draws (expect wild and stocked cutthroat trout, brown trout, kokanee salmon and mackinaw). The confluence of the Greys, Salt and Snake rivers is close by for additional river fishing and wildlife viewing, and the Palisades Creek Trail starts near the campground, offering routes for hikers, mountain bikers and horseback riders up to Upper Palisades Lake and views over Swan Valley.

How far ahead to book Alpine North Loop

For July weekends, book about 139 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 73 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (4,393 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
