GobeWan Perfect

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. My teardrop fit quite nicely with my friends larger camper in one spot. Total Boondock camping, pit toilet only.

Pretty spot, close to Ennis

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. It is first come, first served but there were still 3 spots when we arrived around 5pm on a Friday. (They later filled up). Would stay again for a quick overnight!

Gorgeous!!

Beautiful place with sites right on the river! The sites are spread out and most are private. There are no bear lockers or dumpsters. Vault toilet was well maintained. I see the notes here say there’s a dump station but we couldn’t find one, so I’m not sure this info is correct.

What a great spot!!

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.

River access can’t be beat!

I was in Dillon on a Friday afternoon and was looking for a place between Dillon and Bozeman. I found this spot on Dirt but did not realize that it was right on the Madison. So cool to be able to walk out of camp to an amazing river. This camp is no frills but it’s all about the location. Can’t believe I got the last available spot. Thanks Dirt!

Nice place to camp

Pulled into the campground late evening and it was easy to get into and out of with my 41 ft toy hauler. Campground was quiet and secluded. The river flows right along the camp ground and made foe a nice morning to get up eat breakfast and then fish for a few hours. Caught a few fish on a PMD. This is a great place for a person wanting to fish and enjoy the area.
