Baker’s Hole Campground is a spacious and well-equipped campground located just west of West Yellowstone in the Custer Gallatin National Forest. Positioned along the Madison River corridor and only a short drive from the West Entrance of Yellowstone National Park, this campground offers a convenient and comfortable base for exploring the Greater Yellowstone ecosystem. Its large layout and RV-friendly design make it especially popular with travelers seeking easy access to the park without staying inside Yellowstone itself.
The campground sits along the Madison River just outside the town of West Yellowstone, Montana. Surrounded by lodgepole pine forest and open meadows, the setting feels expansive rather than enclosed. The river runs nearby, creating a scenic backdrop and adding to the natural appeal of the area. Its location allows campers to enjoy forest surroundings while remaining minutes from restaurants, fuel, and services in town.
Baker’s Hole Campground is a large, multi-loop campground that accommodates tents, vans, trailers, and very large RVs. Many sites are long and wide enough for substantial motorhomes and fifth wheels, and certain sites include electric hookups. The generous turning radius and overall layout make maneuvering large rigs noticeably easier than in many forest campgrounds. The campground’s size and spacing give it an open, organized feel rather than a tightly packed layout.
Campsites include picnic tables and fire rings, with restroom facilities available throughout the campground. Potable water is typically available during the main season. While not all sites provide hookups, select sites offer electrical service, which is a valuable feature for RV travelers. There are no full hook-ups or showers within the campground itself, so campers should plan accordingly. Fire restrictions may apply during dry conditions.
The Madison River is a primary draw, offering fishing and riverside relaxation just steps from camp. Baker’s Hole also serves as a gateway to Yellowstone National Park, with geysers, wildlife viewing, scenic drives, and hiking opportunities just minutes away. In addition, the surrounding Custer Gallatin National Forest provides access to trails, mountain biking routes, and forest exploration outside of the national park boundaries.
Baker’s Hole Campground combines accessibility, space, and RV-friendly infrastructure in a prime location near Yellowstone National Park. With its ability to handle large rigs, select electric hookups, and close proximity to both the Madison River and West Yellowstone, it offers a comfortable and strategic base for exploring one of the country’s most iconic national park regions.
