Red Mountain Campground

Elevated along the lower Madison River, Red Mountain Campground in Manhattan, Montana, redefines simplicity with its riverside charm, prime fishing access, and scenic tranquility. Providing a blend of tent and RV sites, it offers campers an effortless immersion into nature with basic yet sufficient amenities, including picnic tables, established fire pits, clean restrooms, and potable water.

The campground consists of 16 well-maintained sites, some situated near the riverbank, making it a prime location for fishing enthusiasts, river floaters, and wildlife viewers. Its proximity to the Madison River ensures easy access to water-based activities like paddling and rafting. While there are no electric or water hookups, the quiet surroundings, coupled with the soft sounds of the river, create a peaceful escape for both short stopovers and relaxed weekend getaways.

Situated just nine miles northeast of Norris off State Route 289, Red Mountain Campground is conveniently close to the vibrant town of Ennis and the majestic Bear Trap Canyon Wilderness, both within a 30-minute drive. This makes it an excellent base for exploring southwestern Montana’s outdoor treasures while staying rooted in a serene and natural camping environment.
