Where the Firehole and Gibbon Rivers meet to make the Madison river is Madison Campground, where campers delight in the shady sites and steps away amenities.

There’s room a plenty for your RV, tent, and even your hammock and since your site will come with a fire pit, picnic table and access to restrooms and water, you’ll poppin’ off your camp party in no time! Fly fishing is literally steps away and evening ranger programs mean you can learn about the park before heading out to nearby Old Faithful in the morning.

The Range Riders Lodge

9 sites · Lodging10 acres · Silver Gate, MT

Located less than a mile from the NorthEast entrance to Yellowstone National Park. The Range Riders is a rustic Airbnb lodging option for people who don’t mind communal bathrooms, creaking floors, and thin walls. It is a beautiful building with a lot of history and charm that shows it's age. Range Rider Accommodations Located in the town of Silver Gate, just outside the Northeast entrance to Yellowstone National Park, sits the historic Range Rider Lodge. Construction began on the Range Rider in 1937 after the magnificent Beartooth Highway was completed. Whole logs were brought in from the surrounding forests and oil paintings depicting beautiful mountain scenes were commissioned to line the banisters of the second floor. The Range Rider was originally constructed to be an “indoor playground” for all of the tourists coming over the Beartooth Highway. Since its opening, the Range Rider, originally called the Gorham Chalet, has seen many wild times and brought a lot of entertainment to a small mountain community. Ernest Hemingway even used to frequent the bar and write. The original logs still stand and the Range Rider still possesses all of the magic that it has had since the day it opened. Over the years not much has changed, just enough so that people can continue to enjoy the Range Rider as so many have been able to in the past. Rooms in the Range Rider are available to be rented for nightly rentals. Rooms with one double bed start at $99.00/night and rooms with two double beds start at $184.00/night (these prices do not include tax). There are 5 communal restrooms; among them are 2 men’s showers and two women’s showers and two men’s restrooms and 2 women’s restrooms. The Range Rider is a rustic lodging option for people who don’t mind communal bathrooms, creaking floors, and thin walls. It is a beautiful building with a lot of history and charm but its age shows. The Range Rider Lodge is not for people looking for a luxury lodging option. It offers the bare minimum for your stay; the beds are comfortable and made with fresh linens and towels are provided for the bathrooms. The rooms are simple with just a bed and a table furnishing each room. The building warms up during the day but cools off at night depending on the outside temperature; to combat this we provide small space heaters in each bedroom.

We camped here in early October. Most campsites filled up by the end of the evening. Great location, campground is close to many of the main attractions within Yellowstone. Campsite, bathrooms, and dish washing areas were all clean.

Traditional public camp loop, well maintained.

We stayed at Madison Campground on Thursday, October 3, 2019 (High: 50F / Low: 16F). We made a reservation in advance the day before our stay even this late in season to play it safe. We arrived at camp around ~5:30pm and had our site assigned. (Reservations only guarantee a spot that will accommodate your equipment, not a specific site) By 6pm, the camp was bustling, however did not fill completely according to the concessioner staff. The closest park entrance to Madison Campground is the West Yellowstone entrance (14mi). The camp is also closest of all campgrounds to the the park's main attractions: Grand Prismatic Springs (10mi), and Old Faithful Geyser (18mi). All facilities were well maintained and clean. All sites have a fire pit, picnic table, and bear box.

My favorite campground in Yellowstone - lots of neighbors but reminded me of camping as a kid, surrounded by friendly people and the sound of campfires popping. It was nice to have a bathroom close by and park rangers that were happy to give advice on where to hike.

We also camped here mid August 2016, by far the best site we stayed in yellowstone, and by far the quietest and most peaceful.

We camped here mid-August 2016 and had a blast. The rangers are pretty strict about keeping your food put away and the area clean. It was a great place to be, we saw elk grazing across the river from us, and then there is tons see in Yellowstone.
