"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."
"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."
"Lovely view of mountain ranges & good places to walk or run your dog."
"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

"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."
GuideBeautiful 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! Decent spacing between sites but if it were full might be a bit crowded. Not a lot of wood to scavenge. Only 6-7 miles from Ennis which has a decent sized town to get supplies etc. Technically it’s in the town of McAllister and about an hour from Bozeman! Road in was easy so could have good size rig!
LegendBeautiful kept park. Lots of activities. Large dog park. Propane, laundry, store.
GuideNot the best experience. The entrance is quite tricky and very steep. We missed the entrance and had to find a place to unhook and turn around. (We’re in a 36’ RV pulling a Jeep) The hookup spaces are so close together you can touch your neighbor, so we missed the beautiful views the partial hook up guys were able to enjoy. It’s a little run down and quite pricy. The dog “park” isn’t fenced, so if your hoping to let your dogs stretch there legs, this isn’t the place for you. We will find another stop next time we come through.
GuideNice dog park across the street, sites are a little tight but its perfect for a couple night stay. Awesome that its only 35 miles to Big Sky and its a gorgeous drive. Our sire only had electric/water but i know there are some with full hookups. Picnic tables and fire rings and sites are gravel.
ScoutThis 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. The only downside of this campground is that occasionally throughout the night you can hear cars and semi-trucks passing over the nearby bridge. Our camp spot was close to the bridge so maybe if you were further back in the campground it wouldn't be as noticeable. Across the river, from our camp spot, we could easily see residential homes. They are nice homes but it doesn't give you a completely secluded feeling because of that.
LegendEnnis fishing access site is located on the Madison River just on the south edge of town. This is a First come, First serve campground that is walking distance to the town of Ennis. Some sites sit along the river, some spots are more private toward the back of the campground. It appears not much effort was placed in making this site a campground, sites are unlevel and parking pads vary from gravel, to dirt or grass. This is a dry campground like most FAS sites. A small vault toilet serves the area, site are numbered and have a picnic table and appear to all have rock fire rings. Fishing must be good here as this site always appears full when I drive by. Several spots appeared to have nice grassy areas for tents. If you have a large RV you might want to park at a parking area at the entrance and walk in to make sure there is a place big enough for you as the layout of the campground might get a bit tight for a larger RV. The fishing access site is closed to camping from December 1st through April 31st every year.
ScoutSmall 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. My teardrop fit quite nicely with my friends larger camper in one spot. Total Boondock camping, pit toilet only.
TravelerWow this was a very unique camping experience up in the boulders. Had a lot of fun walking my dogs and cat up in there. (Yes my cat goes camping too). There was no water pumps on the campground, however there is a nice little creek running through that one could get water. Also there were vault toilets and the one we used was closer to the entrance of the campground. It was clean, however the door didn't lock. Really wish we didn't go on a holiday weekend as it sounded like a dirt bike ho-down and wasn't very relaxing. We will try again during the week or a non holiday weekend. The stars were gorgeous, and the bird watching was phenomenal. At least when there weren't dirt bikes.
ScoutOur favorite campground to date! The hosts are wonderful, helpful, and kind people. The area is just beautiful, with the river only a few steps away, and there is plenty of room for people and pets to run and play. Lots of fun hiking trails nearby. Two big loops for campers (one first-come first-serve, one for reservations); the hosts were happy to point out the best spots to accommodate our 36-ft fifth-wheel. Clean restrooms with water spigots at each. We all love everything about this place!
