About Indian Creek Campground (WY)

Located about eight miles (13 km) south of Mammoth Hot Springs on the road to Norris, Indian Creek Campground—elevation 7,300 feet (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.

Indian Creek is a little gem of a campground, quiet, plenty of shade and clean and tidy. The camp hosts are absolutely fabulous and full of information and recommendations. Will return again.

The only downside was having to drive to Mammoth Springs for boxes of firewood, but otherwise it was a very enjoyable experience. The campground is clean, tiny, and accessible. There was waterspout with drinkable water and bathrooms very close by. Everyone was respectful and kind as well. Very close to a lot of trails and beautiful scenery as well.

Campground very nice. Camp host intrusive and rude. Continually driving by our site the whole time we were there. We had 2 dogs who were appropriately contained at all times. No barking. Were told we were not allowed to walk them anywhere in the campground when we were walking them on lead. Nothing in the campground literature stated this. Came to our door as we were turning in for the night telling us our fire was smoldering and asking if we wanted him to put our fire out. No we did not. We were not done enjoying the fire and planned to douse it when we were. Hard to relax and enjoy our night there.

We knew we would be roughing it, without water, flush toilets, and limited cell service, but it was a great stay none the less!

Policies & Rules

Arrival & departure

  • Contact the campground at 307-344-2289 for late arrivals or cancellations.

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.
  • Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
