Madison River Campground
Madison Campground is a spacious campground covering nearly 7 acres located in southwestern Montana just beyond the banks of its namesake river. It is approximately 34 miles south of Ennis and about 45 miles west of Yellowstone National Park. The ten-site campground borders a Douglas Fir covered hillside to the west, with the Madison River just across the road to the east.
Each site is equipped with a picnic table and fire ring. Vault toilets and drinking water taps are located near each site, along the one-way road. Visitors enjoy fishing, sightseeing, and nearby hiking and ATV trails. Riverview Campground is only about a quarter mile away, while West Fork Campground is less than one mile and both are available on a first come, first served basis.
