Yes, there is a bear resistant dumpster available for you to dispose of your garbage.
Fishing
Fishing is available in Palisades Reservoir but the access from the campground is not good. The water is shallow when the water level is up and when the level drops the shallows become a large mud flat. There is a boat launch at Alpine, Wy only a couple miles to the east. Check the Idaho fishing regulations.
Boating
No
Swimming
No
Recreation
Camping, fishing, hiking, 4wheeling and photography.
Wildlife
Deer, elk, moose, grizzly and black bear live here. While Osprey and Bald Eagles fish the reservoir.
Fee Schedule
Double sites are $24 per day, singles are $12 and your extra vehicle is another $6. I have not found a price for the group sites. These prices are for 2012.
Reservations
At the time of our visit campsites were reservable. However, as I write this Alpine Campground in not showing as reservable on either recreation.gov or reserveamerica.com.

Alpine Campground is located on some gently rolling hills on the northeast shore of Palisades Reservoir near Alpine, Wyoming. It sets in a mature forest and most campsites have some shade and the underbrush provides some level of privacy. It was very busy! We had to go elsewhere to find a campsite for the night even though we were there on a Wednesday in July.
