These are the type of campgrounds I love because it feels remote and is relatively small. The site was nice and private for a campground. Vault toilets are clean. There was a hiking trail we explored two different times (saw almost no one) and was accessible from our campsite. Everyday we saw elk at the campground entrance road near the river. The location is perfect for accessing all the great places in north Yellowstone. (I personally feel you should camp in south Yellowstone AND north Yellowstone to cut down driving and get the most out of your visit). Out of the three campgrounds I have stayed in at Yellowstone, this is my favorite and I highly recommend!

Our site was great! Lots of shade. The ranger and camp hosts were kind and helpful. The toilet was clean but the smell was next level nasty but it was a vault toilet so it is expected.
It was only 9 miles from Mammoth and a great Basecamp for exploring the northern loop. Get up before dawn and pick from a number of spots both north and south to watch for wildlife as the sun rises.
100% would recommend!!

The campsite we had was great. The water placement was a bit awkward as it was in the middle of our site and people had to walk around us to get to it. The bathroom smell in the morning was GROSS. The location to the northern part of the park is great.

Good site, really close to Mammoth Hot Springs. Easy to get to if you are coming from the north or west, but a bit of a drive if you are entering the park from the south. Lots of flies and mosquitos though (we stayed in early July). Pit toilets were clean and access to potable water was easy.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
