West Fork Madison Campground

What sets the West Fork Madison Campground apart is its unparalleled riverside tranquility, offering campers an intimate spot to connect with nature amidst the rugged beauty of the Beaverhead-Deerlodge National Forest. This small, tent-only campground features seven well-maintained sites, each equipped with picnic tables, fire pits, and access to potable water. Dense, shade-providing vegetation ensures a peaceful and secluded camping experience, while the adjacent West Fork of the Madison River is a prime destination for trout fishing.

Situated about 34 miles south of Ennis, Montana, along Highway 287, this campground is an excellent option for those seeking a more primitive escape. Nearby, the Madison River Canyon Earthquake area offers fascinating geological history just minutes away. Facilities are limited but well-kept, including vault toilets. With no cell phone coverage and no amenities for trailers or larger rigs, this campground is ideal for unplugged serenity in a pristine alpine setting.
