Cabin Creek Campground is located near the Madison River, in southwestern Montana. It is just 25 minutes from West Yellowstone and Yellowstone National Park's west entrance. Visitors enjoy the area for its fishing, boating and hiking opportunities, as well as its close proximity to Yellowstone.
The Cabin Creek Trail begins at the campground. The 6-mile trail is open to hikers and horseback riders.
Earthquake Lake can be accessed less than three miles from the campground. Fishing and canoeing are popular activities there. A visitor center is nearby, with interpretive displays and information on the 1959 earthquake and subsequent landslide that formed the lake on the Madison River.
Hebgen Lake is considered Montana's premier still-water fishing lake. Anglers will find a healthy population of brown, cutthroat and rainbow trout. Boating and swimming are popular activities on the lake.
The campground offers several single-family sites. Each site is equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring. Vault toilets and drinking water are provided.
The campground is situated across the road from the Madison River, between Hebgen and Earthquake Lakes. A mature pine and Douglas fir forest covers the campground, where plentiful grasses and summer wildflowers cover the forest floor.
West Yellowstone offers dining, shopping and lodging options. The Grizzly and Wolf Discovery Center is a popular attraction with live grizzlies, gray wolves and birds of prey, and a variety of educational exhibits and programs.
Yellowstone National Park offers unparalleled wildlife viewing opportunities, breathtaking scenery and unique geological features.
From West Yellowstone, travel 8 miles north on Highway 191, then 14 miles west on Highway 287.
Please remember, The first two vehicles are included in the reservation fee. Any additional vehicles will be assessed a $8.00/night extra vehicle fee upon arrival at your site. This fee will be collected by the campground host.
Cabin Creek is a national forest service campground directly across the street from a resort Campground. It offers pit toilets and one spigot. It is a very small campground it tends to fill up quickly due to its proximity to Yellowstone. It is absolutely gorgeous, quiet and peaceful. If you follow the dirt road across the street it takes you down to a popular fly fishing spot just on the other side of the dam. It also has an exquisitely beautiful trail for a short stroll and wildlife viewing. There are roosting Bald Eagles. It is not to be missed.
Really beautiful place to camp ,but there is no showers 😌.
It is only 30 minutes away from West Yellowstone park.there is a lot of mosquitos so take a lot of protected for bugs,another thing i want to add is that you can’t really predict when it’s rains so take warm cloths for the night you might want to bring really hot pijamada it gets really cold especially when it rains.ino showers so there is no way to bath yourself we were there from July 18-21
Set off in the mountains, this small Campground is close to all the local attractions; Yellowstone National Park, geological and historical sites, shopping and dining in West Yellowstone, fishing, animalwatching.
Vault toilets, friendly camphost, pet friendly. No hookups but very quiet and clean.
The hiking trail just off of this campground is beautiful. Well maintained and easy to manage. It can get a little narrow at certain parts with a steep edge into the river. Might avoid with young children.
