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.

The campground and pit toilets were clean. Camp host was very helpful and kind. Only improvements could be communication about my late arrival. I was not sure it had been received. Confirming text or call would be great.

I had a great stay at Indian Creek Campground in Yellowstone. The sites were clean, quiet, and well-maintained, and the location made it easy to enjoy the surrounding trails and wildlife.
One thing to know before you arrive: the campground does not have firewood available on-site. You’ll need to bring your own or plan to drive about 8 mi to Mammoth Campground to buy some. Once you are prepared for that, everything else about the experience is smooth and enjoyable. Overall, a peaceful and beautiful place to camp in the park.

The campground was very clean and the ranger very helpful in recommending hiking trials we could hike near the campground. It's a primitive campground, but all facilities available were clean and well taken care of. We appreciated the location in YellowStone and the size of the camp sites among trees. We plan to camp there again.

  • 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.

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.
