Bear Creek Campground and Picnic Area

If you’re planning a visit to Yellowstone National Park and you’re a camper, Beaver Creek is a a quick 30 minute drive away and a great place to soak in the wilderness overnight. The campground is situated on a hillside, overlooking the Madison River and Earthquake Lake and surrounded by a pine forest, grassy areas, and summer wildflowers. It offers easy access to premier fishing, canoeing, and 6 miles of hiker- and horse-friendly trails. For those looking to cool off with a swim, head to Hegben Lake, which is also nearby.
