This was our first tent camping experience as a family of six. I called a week before the trip and was able to reserve a spot for the first Saturday of August, but this might be a fluke. In fact I was debating myself between Madison and Norris, but given Madison's proximity to West Yellowstone and Old Faithful, and given... more

We stayed at Madison for 3 days and found it to be a wonderful campground. The only draw-back is that Xanterra doesnt allow shower tents and the closest showers are either in West Yellowstone, MT or Old Faithful which are both about 13 miles away. We were located on the B Loop and the sites were pretty roomy and although... more

Based on its location and several reviews here on TA we made a reservation at Madison for 6 nights starting June 21st. We arrived about 1:30 in the afternoon, waited maybe 10 minutes to register, then made our way to our campsite. I had requested to be in one of the tent-only loops and to have a site large enough... more

We made our reservation for Madison Campground about 10 months in advance. We chose this campground because we wanted to be close to the geysers and close to West Yellowstone, where we had tickets to the Playmill. We requested a quiet campsite away from roads. Upon arrival, we waited in line in the car and soon noticed that the line... more

Madison Campground was beautiful! Our first night there we had a huge thunderstorm and we woke up to snow and lots of bison surrounding our R.V. Later that day, their were bison walking through the campground and then suddenly began to run because a tiny dog was chasing them! It was hillarious! It wasn't until our 3rd day that we... more

We stayed at the Madison Campground for one night in September of 2006. It's in a nice location along the Madison river and not far from geyser basin area. The tall pine trees throughout the campground don't offer much privacy but we didn't spend a lot of time at our campsite anyway. If you interested in spending time in the... more

Beautiful, well-located campground. If you're coming in from Bozeman or points north/west, Madison is only 14 miles from W. Yellowstone. It's also 14 miles from Old Faithful and an easy drive to many of the other park locations. The tents-only loop is great and gets you away from the rumble of RVs although it is a large campsite and due... more

This campground is a favorite. It's in a central location. 14 miles to West Yellowstone, 16 miles from Old Faithful. We also like that it's about a 5 minute drive from the Fire Hole River Swimming area on the Firehole Canyon Drive. Campground is clean. We try to stay here at least once a year. more

We stayed at the Madison Campground for 3 nights during our stay at Yellowstone, and will have nothing but fond memories of our time there. It was a good basecamp for making our way around the park. The campsites were the prefect size for our tent and we were a reasonable distance from our neighbors. The restroom was clean and... more
