About Indian Creek Campground (WY)

Located about eight miles (8.1 mi) south of Mammoth Hot Springs on the road to Norris, Indian Creek Campground—elevation 7.3 ft (2225 m)—sits near the base of the Gallatin Mountains and offers breathtaking views of Electric Peak. The area offers easy access to fishing and hiking. The campground is away from the main road and provides a quieter, more primitive, experience than many other locations.  For reservations at the campgrounds managed by Yellowstone National Park Lodges (Fishing Bridge RV Park, Bridge Bay, Canyon, Madison, and Grant Village campgrounds), please visit the Yellowstone National Park Lodges website.

I have been using this campground for more than 4 decades, but in the last 4 years the smell in the toilets has been horrible. It is my only complaint. The administration needs to drain those toiles far more frequently than they do.

Campground hosts are great people. Only complaint is some sites are close enough that you can hear a neighbor’s snoring.

Much more relaxing of a camp than the bigger camps at the villages. Gotta like pit toilets over flushing ones. It was more wild and listening to the bugling elk in the night was awesome!

Amazing site. Protected from winds from the South and West. Close to the bathroom, so sometimes you smell it but that isn't often.

Cancellation policy

  • Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
  • Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
  • Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
    • Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
    • One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
  • Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
  • Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
