Ruby Creek Campground

Level tidy sites. Many back right up to the Madison.
Quiet.

On the west bank of the Madison River about 2.5 miles off the highway. Far enough that road noise is not an issue, partly because of the sounds of this world-famous trout stream. Set on the flats above the river the sites are near level. The surrounding area was a verdant green when we visited. A few bear boxes are available (for tent campers), and the USFS pit toilets were very clean. A wonderful stay.

Ruby Creek is a Bureau of Land Management campground located in southwest Montana on the Madison River. 22 campsites. Water on site. Boat ramp on willow-lined river; tables, fire rings. Vault toilets. Pack in, pack out garbage. Scenic views of Madison Range to the east, the Gravelly Range to the west. Fishing and boating may be enjoyed on the river. A boat ramp is located nearby. Fee. 14 day stay limit.

We arrived in the night and the stars are AMAZING!!! When I woke at dawn to a gorgeous sunrise over the mountains surrounding us with a river I was speechless. A very special place.
