About this campground

Located about halfway between Old Faithful and West Yellowstone, you can stop here for park information as visitors have been doing since 1930. The structure is an example of "parkitecture" or designing a building in a way that reflects the surrounding ecosystem. You can also shop for souvenirs in the park store or use the restrooms.

Getting there

Located just south of Madison Junction. Madison can be reached from two different directions, so check your map carefully before driving.
