West Fork Madison Campground in MT
U.S. Forest Service allows overnight stays only at the designated sites here.
West Fork Campground offers seven small campsites tucked into an old-growth spruce and Douglas fir forest along the West Fork of the Madison River. The access road splits the site into two individual northern spaces and a five-site southern loop. Due to tight turns and limited space, trailers are prohibited. Each site includes a picnic table, fire ring, and a bear-proof food storage locker. Facilities on the loop side include two outhouses and a water spigot. Fishing is steps away in the river, with OHV and hiking trails extending into the nearby Gravelly Mountains.
The road in has not been measured -- unknown, not bad.
