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. ;-)


one of the best things about fawn lake is that yellowstone kennie has
never been there... imo, his absence improves most fishing and camping
locations. g the fawn lake campground is backcountry camping, and
requires a lengthy hike. it offers uncrowded small stream, small fish
(mainly brook trout) fishing in upper gardner and fawn creeks...and big
brook trout in the lake. it ain't for the campground crowd...and there
are a few bears in the area.

when you are going and your particular fishing/camping preferences or
needs might make a difference in where you choose to stay . but i'm
sure that stalwart roughrider, yk will be along to help you figure it
all out...
