Camping and fishing next to Madison River

I am considering a 2 week fishing trip near Ennis, MT next spring and have found several campgrounds off of the Trip Planner and AllStays for the area. I would really like suggestions from others who are familiar with the area and more importantly fish.

My Class-B has solar and a generator so no external electrical is needed and I could go days before needing to empty/refill water. Can someone suggest places with public access to the Madison River as well as public parking for the night. Also nearby low cost campgrounds with water/dump capabilities. And of course, the best fly fishing shops.

Many thanks!
  • Galloup's Slide Inn. A great place and great people. I had a wonderful stay there. Can walk to the Madison. I would go back again.
    Close to Earthquate Lake. Kelly Galloup is a great person.
    Good RV sites. It has a lot of river access and a great fly shop.
