Palisades Campground is a BLM recreation area on the Upper Madison River offering 10 primitive campsites at 5,500 feet elevation with vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings on a first-come, first-served basis ($8/night).

The separate day-use area features a paved boat launch capable of accommodating two-wheel drive vehicles and trailers, with free access for boating and paddling.

Located 25 miles south of Ennis off US Highway 287, this is a pack-in/pack-out facility with no potable water or hookups, making it ideal for anglers and paddlers seeking river access in a scenic mountain setting.
