"Well really enjoyed our time at Ennis. The town is close to the Rv park, we could really easily bike to the grocery store and some local restaurants."
"Really nice RV Park just on the edge of town. Overlooks a bluff with gorgeous view. Nice level gravel parking pads with a grass rectangle beside each spot."
$12 - $18 / night
"Small fishing access campground near Ennis MT. Sites are fairly large. Montana residents get a nice rate but even for out of state only $18/night. Quiet, mainly fly fishing campers here."
"Close to town of Ennis and great spots right on the river to fish. The sites are well spaced out and beautiful views of the Madison valley and mountain ranges."
"This campground is conveniently located near downtown Ennis, Montana. While you're close enough to town to run and get coffee in the morning, your spot will feel tucked back by the river."
"Great spot right on Ennis Lake. Stayed for one night and part of the next day."
"Beautiful spot just on Ennis Lake. Probably 6-8 sites. Each site has a fire ring and picnic table. There’s also a bathroom on site!"
"With the Madison river spots filling up fast Ennis lake usually has spots to offer. It is close to some residents but this isn’t a lake in the mountains."
"There are a few smaller sites right next to the river, which are close to the road. Further down, there are a few more spots with more space, but from those spots it's a short walk to the river."
"Lovely Devils Creek to walk along and a local hike to a mountain summit from just outside the campground. Easy access, though a drive needed to either side of Glacier NP."
$33 - $44 / night
"Come for the hot spring and stay steps away in a great tent or RV site! The RV sites have water and electric hook ups, and there is a portable toilet by the tent sites."
"Outside of the hot springs there’s nothing to do at the small campground. They have it well maintained and it is pretty quiet even though it’s on the highway."
"We were there on Saturday and it was busy but not crazy non the morning we went down to Norris hot springs and over to Ennis for pizza and beer. Pretty ideal way to spend the weekend!"
"This area has a lot to offer within a 15 min drive from wherever you camp. There are a lot of people that use this and there are a lot of parties."
$72 / night
"Very clean, super nice owners, close to a quaint little historical town, and 15 minutes from another great little town. Good foods and shopping nearby. Very clean showers and laundry area."
$40 / night
"We stayed at Lake Shore Lodge Campground while visiting my parents in Ennis."
"Once arriving at the top; you’ll find a stunning array of crystal lakes, snow melts, and glistening cliffs. We camped on top of a large cliff system across the first lake."
"To get there you drive into the Spanish Creek Picnic area. Then you follow the trails on the map to Spanish Lakes. The trails are pretty well marked. It’s about 9.5 miles in and up."
TravelerThere isn't much in this corner of the world that isn't nearby. Just off I-15, it's near Lewis and Clark sites, Bozeman Trail's destination Virginia City, all the major National Parks in the Yellowstone area. Owner is very helpful, knowledgeable, and personable - information on restaurants that can be walked to or deliver. Flat gravel sites.
TravelerWe had a campsite with shade near the river and did some fishing. Restrooms and showers are small but very nice and clean.
ScoutA pleasant surprise, it is up in high price bracket but it has cheap fuel & a free laundry. Beautiful grassy grounds & some great scenery. There is some highway noise, but is background noise.
ScoutWow! 30 minutes from West Yellowstone this quiet and amazingly beautiful. This campground is perfect for relaxing after a long drive. There are 3 different loops, I like loop C site 14 best with great views of the surrounding mountains. Each site has bear boxes, and vault toilets are very clean. I think the elevation helped reduce the bugs. The staff was friendly and very helpful..
GuideThis is very remote feeling with no cell reception or views of any paved roads or buildings. You cannot hear traffic from the highway which is about 1/3 miles away.
There are wooden horse fences and corrals which are for public use. There is a rock fire ring and a very uneven parking spot - bring your levelers!
The scenery is stunning with easy access to the creek and a huge cliff on the other side. The area is wooded with green grass and wildflowers everywhere.
We camped in site 1, the first of three on the first loop.
So far, the only thing we can hear are birds chirping, the flowing creek, and the sounds of our children squealing with delight as they play out in the grassy field. There are the occasional vehicles passing by on the dirt road (other campers, assumably).
10/10, would stay here again in a heartbeat!
GuideWe stayed at the resort in our 31’ RV after not finding a dispersed site. The RV park, located about 5 minutes outside of Gardiner, is next to the river and has decent grassy sites with picnic tables and fire rings. They have central septic and water for guests. The host was friendly and helpful, as well!
RV park visitors get $5 per person off the hot spring cost (hot springs are immediately next door). There are huge mineral spring pools including a cold pool, 100 degree pool and 106 degree pool surrounded by manicured lawns and lounge chairs. All around the property are incredible mountain views.
The facility, soaking pools, and grounds are beautiful and well worth the money!
TravelerPleasant campground with great views from a hill. Entrance is marked to a hill but could be missed. Negative is close to train tracks with multiple trains usually early morning so plan on being awakened by horns. Pool. Rest room and showers are clean.
ScoutGreat little spot. Wonderful amenities and the owner was awesome. We went with the “boondock” spot and used the facilities, which were very clean. The little bar connected to the general store was a blast!
TravelerThe destination is worth the miles of washboard and pothole-enhanced roadway. Yes, it’s USFS road after the pavement, and their budget is thin!
Our site, 6, was the best for long rigs and RVs. The loop to turn around requires a rig 35’ or less, but a skilled driver can maneuver the stump challenge and enjoy the journey!
We booked the site upon arrival by scanning the QR code. Occupy the site, then pay, is the standard. AT&T & Verizon service is 3+ bars..
The sites are fairly close together, which wasn’t an issue since we only had one neighbor a few sites away. The vault toilet was clean and appropriately stocked.
The setting and view are soul-inspiring.; we were treated to double rainbows following the evening squall.
The lake is fishable from the shoreline, and the boat ramp makes this the perfect spot for “unimproved “ paradise for water enthusiasts of all sorts.
