Cabin Creek Campground

Cabin Creek Campground is located near the Madison River in southwestern Montana, 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 campground offers several single-family sites, each equipped with a picnic table and campfire ring. Vault toilets and drinking water are provided. The Cabin Creek Trail begins at the campground; the 6-mile trail is open to hikers and horseback riders. Earthquake Lake can be reached less than three miles from the campground, where fishing and canoeing are popular, and a visitor center nearby has 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, with a healthy population of brown, cutthroat and rainbow trout, and boating and swimming are popular there. 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 site, 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.
