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.

What a wonderful campsite in Yellowstone park. I really enjoyed this place even though I was only there for one night. Very busy, but was nice to be in a campsite in Yellowstone. There was a wonderful mountain/trail that I walked over near my campsite. It’s definitely wilderness out there you will see, grizzly bears and elk. The staff very friendly as well.

This is a quiet campground. There is water but no dump station. No shower or amenities.x there is a sweet little creek that backs up to some of the sites. There is also a trail to hike and it was a good experience, over all.

This campground has a variety of site sizes. We camped on site #65 with our 26 foot trailer. This site is a back in site and we had to park our pickup parallel to the road. The site is partially shaded with good solar gain during the day and good Starlink signal. There is no cellphone service. The location of the campground is between Mammoth Hot Springs and Norris Geyser Basin with easy access to multiple hydrothermal features, hiking trails, and wildlife viewing areas. There is no dump station at this campground. We used the dump station and fresh water fill at Madison Campground. We made one trip to Gardiner MT for groceries and diesel.

We travel in a 25' Class C motorhome and use our solar system to power our rig. We enjoyed the quiet setting of Indian Creek which is a generator free zone. The vault toilets were super clean and drinking water was easily assessable.

Nice and very quiet Campground with around
60 sites. Not enough Toilets/Outhouses and no sinks to do dishes, which was not allowed to do at the water pump.

Campground was well kept. Bathrooms, for vault toilets, were better than expected. Staff was very nice and pleasant. Great place to base from to visit the mid to northern parts of the park. Wish there could be showers at this site. It’s a good drive to the nearest shower.
