"It’s isolated and quiet yet still so close to the action of Yellowstone NP & West Yellowstone. Every employee we encountered was so friendly and helpful."
"As we had been here before, the campground (CG) was easy to find, but some people did say that their RV GPS wanted to take them down a dirt road on the other side of Henry Lake."
$35 - $200 / night
"As the title say, this is the only campground in West Yellowstone that accepts tents. There’s another 5km north of town that accepts tents, but this is the only one in town."
"Restrooms with 2 showers, dish washing station, and laundry. Close to town. At 9 pm, a light went on above our tent."
"It is extremely close to Yellowstone and very clean and comfortable. The wifi is decent, but the cell signal is active. Best campground of the year award right here!"
"Greetings were friendly and an escort to our site and help backing in was a bonus. Sites are close but we plan on visiting the sites and not spending our days at our site."
"They advertise that their wifi is about to get an upgrade to fiber, but without that upgrade, the wifi is worthless. Less than 1 mbps on average. Not really reliable."
"We stayed here when visiting Yellowstone and it was close to the west entrance and nice. They were kind enough to let us check in a little late and the campground was nice with pull through spots."
"There is some shade with trees and each spot has a picnic table. It’s basic but it will do!
They are definitely more focused on the cabin rentals here."
"Hot showers and great location."
$80 - $95 / night
"All the premium sites on the lake are fabulous 👌. Our hosts who checked us in friendly and helpful."
"End of the row with endless views 180 degrees around your rv of lake and sunset. Campground is clean and well maintained. Store has enough amenities for those that may have forgotten some things."
"Many of the spaces do not have any tree coverage although most sites do have full hook ups. You are right on top of your neighbor if you don’t mind that there are picnic tables at each site too."
"You are very close to town and entrance to Yellowstone National Park. Has full hookups to include cable TV."
"Very clean facilities and spacious sites. Big rig friendly as well as camper vans and everything in between. Very friendly and helpful staff. Check in is fast and easy."
"The laundry and restrooms are nice and clean. The spaces are shaded with picnic tables and fire pits. Perfect playground and easy access to the river for kayaking or paddle boarding."
"Sites were easy to access, even for big rigs. We were greeted at the road, escorted to our spot, and expertly guided into our spot."
"Lots of areas to explore and close to Yellowstone."
TravelerThere is great boon docking outside of the organized campground area. Follow your GPS to 44°35'52"N x 111°25'18"W. At ~6,500 feet, the views of Lake Henry are amazing. There are 15-20 spots suitable for RV's (of any length) plus campsites. It's a great location, only about 20-30 minutes from West Yellowstone and the entrance to the national park. We could have stayed here for days!
5-bar coverage on Verizon.
TravelerSpent four days the end of August. Weather was pleasant and campground was very clean. Spacing not too bad, but I like State Parks as you get privacy. You are very close to town and entrance to Yellowstone National Park. Has full hookups to include cable TV.
RangerCamped here many times over the years, it was our favorite place in the park. It's a bit more like a National Forest CG because it's somewhat off the beaten path and quiet. It is certainly more crowded these days than it used to be, back then it rarely filled.
The site are good, some more private than others. It is NOT a place for Big Rigs, I think the length limit was 35' last time I was there (vehicle + trailer or whatever you're pulling) and they strictly enforced that. The volunteers at the entrance cabin actually brought out a tape measure and measured my 4Runner and 17' Casita at 31' so we got in. Many rigs behind us in line were too big and were turned away.
The creeks (Indian & Obsidian) contain small Brook Trout. For supplies, Mammoth is the closest place.
Have been the in June, July August & September.
The campground is totally on the reservation system unlike a few years ago. No 1st come, 1st serve anymore.
GuideWe stayed a week here, beautiful views and quiet. Our site was close to level and paved, 50amp,no sewer,shared water. Had some storms and high winds. Trash pick up daily at your site. There is a boat ramp and docks. Bath house looked good we did not use the showers. There is no dump station here. The park is about 15 miles from West Yellowstone. We enjoyed our stay.
TravelerVery clean facilities and spacious sites. Big rig friendly as well as camper vans and everything in between. Very friendly and helpful staff. Check in is fast and easy. Stayed 3 nights and hated to leave. Highly recommended.
LegendWest Yellowstone Grizzly campground is located close to the West Yellowstone entrance. It is an Rv Park, lodging, and cabins. It is also in the town of West Yellowstone which is a darling little town with so much to do. The Rv sites are full hook ups and they have picnic benches on a leveled gravel site. There are no fires allowed here and it is pet friendly. . They have WiFi and cable. The sites are pretty close together, which I did not like. There is a grass area on each site which is wonderful for dogs. There are 4 laundry rooms and clean bathrooms and showers. We stayed for 2 days and would stay again.
TravelerWe stayed here while we spent some time on the west side of Yellowstone National Park. The site we stayed in was a Premium Pull Thru- 80', which was wide, level, and had a nice patio and grassy areas. The mobile network connectivity was great for working during the week. There is WiFi available, but we didn't use it and relied on our cell phone/hotspot plans. The staff was friendly. The grounds were well maintained. There's no traffic noise, which is nice. The location is close and convenient for getting into Yellowstone National Park as well as the small town of West Yellowstone.
LegendMadison Campground is a huge campground with 278 site, needless to say you will not be camping alone here, or with much privacy. The campground is set amongst lodge pole pines. While this is a large campground the sites are decently sized and not right on top of each other, but close. We had a quiet stay, but with the size of this campground your odds of that one loud group or family being near will be quiet high. Allow yourself plenty of time to check-in, as the process will be quite slow if numerous campers show up at the same time. The campground appears to have two heated restrooms per loop, with a dish washing station at them. You will not have to throw out much trash during your visit, the campground has a large recycling area, including compost. You can recycle type 1& 2 plastic, cardboard, aluminum& steel cans, glass bottles and camp stove fuel bottles. The campground roads are all paved as are the parking pads. Each site has a picnic table and metal fire ring. Bear food lockers are located through out the campground, but you might need to share with fellow campers as each site does not have their own. Of the 278 site, 62 are tent only and there are 3 group sites. Cost to camp is$28 per night. The price is a little steep, but this campground has the advantage of being fairly centrally located to most of the top attractions in the park, plus you are only 15 miles away from West Yellowstone where you can stock up on everything you might need.
GuideA nice well maintained USFS campground to act as a basecamp to explore Yellowstone. A little close to the highway so some road noise but not too bad overall. Good shops, food, and drinks in West Yellowstone. About 1.5hrs to Mammoth through the park, depending on how many traffic/animal jams you run into of course. Would definitely stay here again for a Yellowstone visit.
Facilities: Vault toilets spread throughout campground, clean and well stocked; water spigots spread throughout campground; Water fill station near the entrance
Cell Service: Surprisingly poor for both Verizon and T-mobile being near to town, speeds were all over the place from 20Mbps one minute to 0.4Mbps the next; definitely not reliable enough for remote work
Starlink: Will be useable in some sites more than others; primarily in the sites along the river, most other sites have too much tree cover; we barely got enough obstruction clearance for ours to keep signal for remote work
Solar: Some sites have better sun coverage than others; best would be in sites along the river
West Yellowstone, Montana, is a prime destination for RV camping, offering easy access to stunning natural landscapes and a variety of well-reviewed campgrounds.
