Great campsite, if it only had showers! Great washroom for dishes and the ranger led program at night was great. Can hear the Madison pack of wolves at night too!

Madison is a fantastic campground in Yellowstone. Out of the 3 we stayed in, Madison had the most space between campers. There is a fly fishing spot right out of the campgrounds. They don’t have showers or laundry facilities, but we didn’t mind. There is an RV dump station as will as a water fill. Sites were pretty flat too. This is a great spot close to many of the park’s geysers. I would stay 2 nights here next time to allow time to explore more of that side of the park.

The title might detract a bit from how nice this campground is, but, I've always been saved by Madison when the park is busy and I need a camping spot. It is one of the largest campgrounds, and has one of the longest seasons. It is centrally located and offers some pretty hikes after you've returned to camp for dinner. There are often elk and buffalo a short drive away in the evenings.

We camped in the tent only section. There is a nice spot to swim in the river just across the road from the tent only area, as well as fields where we could see a few Elk grazing. This campground was kind of equidistant to many of the areas we wanted to visit. Real bathrooms nearby, but you have to go to a few select places in Yellowstone to buy a shower. But hey, it's Yellowstone, I didn't care too much about that. Can't wait to go back!

huge space, and dedicated areas for tents and rv's. they have shared bear boxes for food, bathrooms, and a dishes area. fly fishing only on the Madison River. check in can take over an hour tho.

Definitely make a reservation before you come! Perfect location to explore an area of Yellowstone. If spending significant time in Yellowstone only stay here a day or so and then choose another campsite to get the most of area. Things in Yellowstone are pretty spread out, but don't fret they have gas stations inside the park

We have stayed at several Yellowstone campgrounds and this was one of the best.

This was a large campground. Nothing particularly special about it but flush toilets and a close overnight to have easy access to the thermal region of the park. I mean it’s Yellowstone National Park so that in and of itself makes it an awesome place but the campground was just a typical campground. Don’t take this review as bad, I’ve just stayed in some really cool campgrounds!

We camped here for one night in May. We were out exploring Yellowstone all day on a Saturday in May. SInce it was still early in the summer season, this was one of the few campsites open in the park that still had availability. Fortunately for us, we got one of the last tent sites for Saturday night. The campground has lots of trees but as others have mentioned be prepared to see and meet your campground neighbors. It was rainy but the trees protected us. Also this was one of the coldest camping nights on our trip. The campground is at 6000 feet of elevation. We could see our breath while setting up camp in the evening. The toilets and running water were a nice amenity and the facilities were clean. There is also a separate dishwashing station with running water. The campground is in a great location right off the main road so after we packed up camp on the morning we headed out and continued exploring Yellowstone.

Madison is close to all the attractions and wildlife that West Yellowstone has to offer. Camping sites can be easily reserved early mornings and the areas are pretty close to bathrooms (really good ones, I must say, compared to other public restrooms within the park). No place for showering, though, and anti-bear storage boxes have to be shared with other sites, so it can be tricky if you have lots of food to store.

This campground is located on the west side of Yellowstone, north of Old Faithful. The campground staff was friendly and check in was fairly easy. We arrived late in the evening due to bison on the road as we traveled through the park and still managed to find our site and get set up with minimal trouble. The nearest bathroom was closed for maintenance, which meant we had to walk a significant distance compared to what we had expected. The campground was full and felt crowded, the sites are not large so it felt like we were very close with our neighbors. Everyone was very friendly and respectful of quiet hours and the crowded feel was just a minor concern. The site was beautiful and we saw wildlife in and around the campground, which was cool. I would consider this campground again if I travel back to Yellowstone in the future.

This campground accepts reservations, as well as, has first come, first served camp sites. There are toilets, and bear boxes, as this is bear country. This campground is really busy, but there are trees

Was there is middle of may . Place was full. Lots of generators running. Bathrooms were very clean.

This is another large site in Yellowstone, it's busy but nothing like the Grant Village. I think you're actually much closer to all the "main" attractions and it's a great spot to head off to some wonderful hiking area.

You're just around the corner from grand prismatic and old faithful (but you really should do the geyser walking trails if you can as there are tons of geysers with little to no one else out there with you as they go off)

Facilities are nice and clean with running water and flush toilets.

Does have some excellent tree coverage to help separate out the sites and make you feel a little more secluded than you actually are.

Try and get a site not too close to the main road (although at night there really isn't much traffic)

The campground is nicely arranged with each looped road designated for different sizes of tents and trailers/motor homes. I camped one night with a small tent. The sites are very big/spacious. Bathrooms are clean. Just behind the campground is the Madison River which is fed by hot springs. In the morning steam comes off the river. There is also an amphitheater for nightly presentations about the park, such as geological history.

This campsite has no privacy! However I don't mind very much everyone around was super nice and people gave us free wood when they were leaving! I did like the campground, the bathrooms are very nice and nice place to wash dishes next to bathroom. Also there is a hot spring spot near the campground just a 5 minute walk and a nice river.

I've been here a couple times and it it absolutely wonderful. This site is located in the west side of Yellowstone. It is a little expensive for 25 dollars. It was worth it for the views. Not too far from the site was Madison River which was shallow and was the main supply of water for campers. The down side is that the sites are really close together so you don't get much privacy. At night there are a lot of insects. for Firewood you just need to pick it up off the floor. You don't need to buy firewood because it is scattered all over the campground. at night it is very quiet and the sky lights up like a natural nightlight. This site is very popular and fills up very quickly so you should make reservations. In the morning I recommend the drive to old faithful and watch the eruption. i also recommend going to Grand Prismatic Springs. This Campground is well worth the money.

Our family of four camped four nights and never ran out of things to do. Campgrounds were well maintained. Shared bear boxes were provided and pretty well respected by fellow campers. We had no bear encounters during our stay. No showers, but pay showers exist nearby. Our kiddos spent hours wading and playing in the shallow river that runs by the edge of the campground. They also enjoyed earning their Junior Ranger Badges. Ranger led talks at night are worth your time. There is plenty to keep you busy within walking distance from this campground, and other Yellowstone attractions are just a drive away.

Reserved a different campground on the other side of the park over the phone, then when I got there, found out they had overbooked and they found me a spot here. Drove back around and got a site.

The site wasn't very level, and was in the RV section of the park. We set up on the only marginally flat part of the site, and tried to sleep. Unfortunately there were generators running all night, taking most of the pleasure out of camping for us.

The next day there was a thunderstorm while we were across the park and the neighboring sites emptied into ours...putting our tent in about 9 inches of water. We checked out two days early, and the ranger there told us we should never have been given that site to tent in, as it's known to have drainage problems. She refunded our entire stay, which is why the campground gets 3 stars.

Other than our site-specific problems, the sites are all really close together, though mostly wooded, and family-friendly. I'd try it again with a different site.

We ended up at this campground by mistake after a mix up with the park's reservation system. It was a pleasant surprise though, because the campground is great. Very quiet, nice, clean bathrooms, and a lovely lake closeby where you can swim. I'd recommend it.
