Overview
<p>This RV friendly campground sits on a bench above the Madison River with vistas of the Madison Range. Riverview Campground lies on a sagebrush and gross flat overlooking the Madison River and the Madison mountain range. There are 24 camp units which are large enough for 30 foot trailer lengths and are each equipped with a fire ring and picnic table. There are three vault toilets and water is available at this campground. Cellular reception is also available. The Madison River, a world famous trout fishery, is about 1/4 mile from the campground. Fishing and boating is available at nearby Wade, Cliff, Hebgen, and Henry's Lakes. </p>
About the campground
The elevation is 5,900 ft. The West Entrance of Yellowstone National Park is 38.3 miles east of campground. The campground is a large single loop on a bench above the Madison River. While only a few campsites have a view of the river, all have great views of the surrounding mountain peaks. Grass and sagebrush offer no shade but a constant breeze helps keep things comfortable. All campsites are on the outside of the loop and are well separated providing good privacy. However, in September 2012, the campsites were overgrown with weeds and brush. The inside of the loop is comprised of tall grass, wildflowers and sagebrush. Trout fishing in the Madison River is exceptional. This is bear country; practice safe food storage techniques. A "Food Storage Order" is in place at this campground. This means all food must be properly stored in a bear-resistant container; suspended; stored in a closed, motor vehicle with a solid top; or, stored in a closed, hard-body RV. Not observing this Order may result in a substantial fee and prison.
