Jardine Retreat camping area sits on a unique and beautiful piece of property in the heart of Jardine, Montana. Bear Creek winds through the property, with several great places to sit by the water and enjoy the surroundings. Plans are in the works for a small retreat center on the property, and in the meantime, we welcome people to camp at this amazing location and enjoy the relaxing space. Your host & owner of Jardine Retreat, Zondra is a massage therapist with a massage studio right next to the camping location. Jardine Retreat guests get priority booking for massage appointments. On the downstream side of the camping area, we have a large, 16’ x 24’ wall tent outfitted with two cots, a sectional couch, table and wood stove (no bedding provided, please bring your own sleeping bags). You can either sleep in the wall tent, or set up your own tents and use the wall tent as a lounge area. The wall tent sits right on the bank of Bear Creek, with a lovely view of the creek right out the front door, and the sounds of water to lull you to sleep. Due to bear safety, we do not allow cooking in the wall tent – please use the creek side cookshack. On the upstream side of the camping area, we have one dispersed RV site, with no hookups. RV campers need to be self contained, with their own toilet. There is a communal cookshack pavilion right on the creek, with a BBQ grill, counter & picnic table where you can cook, enjoy your meals & relax by the creek. We take bear safety very seriously, and do not allow any food or drink (besides water) in the wall tent – please do your cooking and eating at the cookshack. Food & other bear attractants must be secured in your vehicle at night, and cookshack area must be cleaned up immediately after use. Not all of Jardine Retreat is part of this new camping area. We ask that you please stay in the designated camping space and do not access construction zones, out buildings & other marked off areas of private property. There are fences and signs designating where you cannot enter. We are currently remodeling an 1880’s historic cabin and turning it into a bath house for you to use next time you camp here – but currently there are no usable facilities & no access to any of the cabins on the property.

Perfect local campsite

Tent · Group trip

Madison Campground is ideal for those that have a full camping set up with shower independency or a RV. It is bear county as well so you must factor that your stay into camping here by keeping a strict and clean campsite to avoid possible bears. The campsite itself is amazing, it’s right next to a river that has bison grazing. We saw a bear, a coyote and tons of birds on site. Perfect place for wildlife photography. We didn’t fish but you have access to the river to fish if you like too. I would recommend staying!

If you are looking for a camp within the park with amenities this is a good spot. If you are looking to be in a quiet pretty secluded empty camp this is not it. Overall a nice stay. Not too loud but definitely not quiet. Good location. Bathrooms are clean and dishwashing sinks available

Yellowstone is by far my favorite national park ever! We stayed an entire week there and there was so much to see and explore! Driving through the park, you’re almost guaranteed to see a buffalo everywhere! The geysers were amazing, we heard wolves at sunrise. This place is a wildlife haven!!
