What Guests Are Saying
Madison River campground is praised for its cleanliness, well-maintained facilities, and excellent river access, making it ideal for fishing and nature lovers. Many appreciate the quiet atmosphere, nice separation between sites, and proximity to scenic views, though some mention road noise and occasional mosquito issues. A few negative points include tight parking for larger trailers and limited campground services, but overall, visitors express a strong desire to return.

We love this campground and the fishing accesses along the Madison River! We are so thankful Zinke didn't let MT public lands go up for sale!

Interesting site along the Madison River. I wouldn't call the view spectacular, but it was a nice spot. We appreciated the bear boxes, especially since the adjacent campsite had a 'bear tree'! Loved the white noise of the river. This also had the nicest smelling vault toilet I think I've ever seen!

Great campsite near the river and surrounded by fishing access points. Super clean restrooms and pretty private sites.

Nice spot to spend the night while exploring the area. Quieter than I thought it would be even though it's close to the highway. Mosquitoes were abundant as expected next to the river. I didn't bring a fishing rod, big mistake.

Please limit generator hours. I believe the generator hours are 6 AM to 10 PM. Please limit this to a few hours in the morning and a few hours in the evening. If you let people run their generators all day, they will. I cannot understand why someone will haul their trailer to a campsite just to turn on their generator and watch TV for hours on end but...
Great campsite, great location but constant generator noise.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
