ScoutOther than mosquitoes, there’s nothing to complain about in this lovely little national forest campground. Just $6 with the senior pass ($13 w/o). Dry camping with bear box, picnic tables and fire pit on a nice gravel site. Vault toilet, pack out your trash. Great camp host.
ScoutQuiet, breathtaking view of the creek, mountains and forest. Absolutely gorgeous and peaceful place to camp. About 40 minutes to west Yellowstone entrance
GuideNice location along Madison River. Road noise as others have reported, but easily overcome with white noise of a fan or smart phone app. Lots of trees and nice views from river sites.
ScoutAs to be expected for a forest campsite. Family friendly, water available, clean pit toilets, and within walking distance to the lake for fishing. Was too cold for us to swim, but enjoyed fishing at the lake.
TravelerThis is NOT an overnight spot. We stayed one night and the park ranger stopped the following morning to let us know it was not a dispersed site. He was very friendly and invited us to visit the office and get a map of dispersed sites.
ScoutGreat Park it’s brand new all of the utilities worked. Great Wi-Fi was super quick. There was a little construction in front of the park, but we did not mind. Just around the corner from the RV park or a couple different restaurants and a grocery store. While we are there, we also rented ATVs, which was a lot of fun
ScoutThe sites are nice and large. The highway is pretty close
TravelerThis is one of the most gorgeous dispersed sites I have stayed at. Surrounded by rolling mountains, hills and plains filled with Yellowstone plants, wild rabbits, and the occasional elk family. The sites start about 2 miles up the road (which is a bit rough at times but even a sedan should be okay if you take it slow). Sites weren’t too far apart from each other but the bushes and hills provided total privacy. There are only about 6-8 sites, but there were a few available both nights we camped here. Right next to the northern entrance to Yellowstone too. Highly recommend!
GuideThis is located centrally in the park so you can make day trips that are reasonable in any direction. Expect wildlife daily in the site (bison and elk). The front loops are not very private but there are sites at the back loops that seem to be more secluded and wooded. I
