Hey guys,
Planning our drive cross country and need to start reservations. Just
wondering if anyone can suggest the best campground in Yellowstone for
fishing access. I'm thinking the Madison campground, but that's just a
guess because I know it's close to the Madison. Is there a better
campground someone knows about in the park with make your coffee, poop,
and fish availablity? Thanks for any suggestions.


There are campgrounds at Slough Creek, Pebble Creek and
Tower Falls in the NE corner of the Park. All have decent
fishing within walking distance but they don't take reservations,
all three are first-come, first-served.

You might ask Jeffie about the fine accommodations at the so-called
Fawn Lake. ;-)

We stayed at the Madison Campground in the late 1980's in June with a 26'
motor home. Is a nice location. Walk over and fish the Madison. Not a lot
of fish that I could see near the campground. Did get one, probably on a
woolybugger. Is the only campground in the park with hotsprings you can get
in. Down at the rivers edge. As to crowded. Did not strike me as wall to
wall. Warning! The buffalo do use the tent tiedown ropes as rubbing ropes.
As to no stores for 15 miles. Why not buy enough stuff for a week at one
time?
