"Lots to do nearby: hot pots, Virginia City, Nevada City. Rich history with gold boom in the 1940s. Good restaurants nearby. Many businesses close midweek, either Tuesday or Wednesday or both."
"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."
"We were looking for someplace for the night close to Ennis and were glad to find this spot. There are only 10 sites but all on the river and most decently spaced."
$72 / night
"Rode our bikes to Virginia City -lots of fun!"
"Lovely campground, maintained, super nice and attentive owners.. we got the overview of Virginia City and a local mine. Had a great time there."
"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."
"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 access to the Madison river. The site is very busy from all of the fishing traffic and there is some noise being this close to town."
"This campsite has loads to offer ~ there is access to the reservoir, of course, and along with this comes the garnets lining the shores."
"Be prepared for steep inclines in some situations. While it was quiet people wise, I’m pretty sure you can hear the dam because we had rumbling noise that woke both of us up."
$35 - $55 / night
"Close proximity to Virginia and Nevada cities. Obviously a former KOA with all the accompanying amenities, but slightly lower price. A little close to highway, but quiet at night. Will stay again!"
"With no need for hookups, we paid a mere $28 for a roomu site adjacent to the water. My wife appreciated that the restrooms and shower are a short walk and I love the serenity and space."
"Seven sites, most lakeside. Boat ramp and bathroom facilities."
"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."
$75 / night
"I have ridden some of the trails and it's a beautiful place to ride deep in the forest surrounding the lake. The trails are clearly visable and very easy to ride."
$30 - $50 / night
"Small campground tucked away in town. Walking distance to the cute center of town. Clean —and convenient."
TravelerBeen in Butte, MT for a few weeks, someone told me about this spot. Very nice, flat spots, lots of fire rings, lots of spots. I'll definitely be back. Please leave the spot as clean or cleaner, to preserve this place. No AT&T service.
ScoutThis place is amazingly beautiful! We stopped by twice over three weeks- both times only one other site occupied. Sites are spaced nicely, brand new looking picnic tables, bear boxes, and fire rings. Put toilet right outside of camp. We walked down the road to the angler parking and took a dip in the evening :)
TravelerThere are several spots along Red Canyon Road. We stayed for two nights at this spot, which seemed to be the cutest and right next to the creek. (44.8244056, -111.1971723)
It was buggy, but nothing terrible or unexpected for this time of year. The creek is too small to wade to but it was nice to sleep to the sound of it and the dog loved it. An occasional car passed us but it was otherwise fairly private and we couldn’t hear the highway. Close to everything but feels secluded! Only about 15-20 min from West Yellowstone.
RangerPlenty of cell signal as it is right next to the town. You can walk into town if you like. 2 clean pit toilets, 11 spots. Heavy day use for the boat launch but most sites are away from that area. No wood to scrounge, although burn ban during my visit. On the madison river so great for fishing. Also Ennis lake is only 6 miles.
Although a small town there are a couple gas stations and a decent sized grocery. Busy on the weekends and you can hear card on the highway but there are few at night.
Sites are mowed down and open. 7 thru 11 can hold several vehicles and tents. For groups get 10&11 together or 7&8.
Plenty of sun for solar, large shade trees at some sites, easy starlink connect.
ScoutWe arrived Saturday night and found a nice spot.
ScoutBecause I pulled in late last night, I just went to the first place that I found group camping. Although it was group, nobody was right on top of each other. The road goes on and on winds around there’s plenty of sites everywhere, I have a truck camper, so it’s almost like having a car. I did see other people that have larger trailers But none of those big ones.
ScoutToxic algae bloom warnings and evidence currently posted around the area. Pretty. Car got pelted by mosquitoes seconds after pulling up to the last available campsite. Left immediately and stayed at the nearby campground with no mosquitos.
TravelerNot many spots open when we arrived at 8:00 pm, but it’s nice for something quick. Near the road so some road noise but other than that it was quiet. A vault toilet and a trash here.
ScoutWide open and dispersed, direct lake access and multiple vehicles large enough
