Best Time to Camp at Beaver Creek Campground

Best season: fall. Fall offers the best combination of cool, stable weather and spectacular aspen color at this high-elevation site — daytime highs commonly range from the mid-50s to low-70s°F with nights dipping into the 30s–40s°F in September. Trails, water access, and fishing are excellent while crowds thin after Labor Day, so you get quieter campsites and better wildlife viewing (elk rut activity often increases sightings).

Elevation6486 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryThe campground overlooks the Madison River and Earthquake Lake, a body of water created when the 1959 earthquake triggered a massive landslide that dammed the river. Visible fault scarps and landslide debris remain in the surrounding terrain. Pine, Douglas fir, and aspen cover the slopes, with aspens turning brilliant gold in early fall. Hebgen Lake lies nearby, adding more fishing and boating access to an already water-rich landscape. Mosquitoes thrive here in summer, especially near the swampy areas in Loop A.

Lodging & AccommodationsThere are no hotel-style lodges or cabins available at Beaver Creek Campground; it is strictly a site for tent and RV camping.

Programs & ActivitiesThe Earthquake Lake Visitor Center nearby features interpretive displays about the 1959 earthquake and landslide, providing historical and geological insights.
