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.

We had a great time with our two young daughters. Very basic facilities and nice quiet people made our stay nice and relaxing.
We had no cellular reception, which was also nice in a way but should be taken into consideration as it limits the ability to plan the next days or check the weather forecast.

Easy access. Great space. We spend one night there, unfortunately we arrived late and departed really early so we couldn't see the beautiful campground in full glory. But our stay was excellent.

Nice and quiet camping close to Mammoth Hot Springs. Only stayed one night, but vault toilets were clean and the overall experience was good.

Lot's of trees all around, but a short walk to the creek if you want a better view of the stars.

The sites were spacious and nice. We thought that there should have been running water though (dishes sink/toilets). Yellowstone was so built up and touristy, that this is realistic. All the big national parks don’t have showers and some lack dish washing facilities, but charge $40/night to camp in a tent. I see this as an area the NPS could really improve upon. It feels like only RV campers matter and tent campers can just deal with it.

We loved our stay at Indian Creek and our campsite could not have been more perfect - on the outside of the circle, close access to water, and plenty of space to set up two tents. The campground was quiet, beautiful, and very well maintained.
