Madison Campground

Madison Campground is a lodging facility in Yellowstone National Park with about 278 individual sites, including group camping areas spread across forested terrain. The location near the Madison River serves as a central base for accessing the park's western sections.

The campground was founded in the early 1900s as one of the park's first organized lodging areas for visitors to the western region. The site expanded over the decades as tourism to Yellowstone grew.

Rangers conduct educational programs at Madison Campground, teaching visitors about local wildlife, geology, and environmental preservation techniques.

The campground sits conveniently between two river systems and offers easy access to surrounding trails and natural features. The best time to visit is from May through October when roads are snow-free and weather is mild.

The campground sits at the confluence of two rivers, giving campers direct access to excellent fishing opportunities. Visitors can also observe geothermal features nearby without traveling far from their sites.
