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.

The camp site and camp host (Marty) were great! Our major issue was the specs on the site. Website say's driveway is 35 ft by 11 ft but in reality at best 26 ft by 12 ft. So if you rent/have a trailer, 22 ft is really pushing what you can fit in there plus you're on a 1 lane road with posts stopping you from getting too far on the grass. Besides that you're in the north west part of the park with quite of few people so expect that. Had a great time but would not stay in this camp ground again, way to compact and restrictive for primitive camping.

Enjoyed my stay at Indian creek. Not far from Mammoth hotel and historic fort.
Anyway it was kinda far from main geyser attractions , but park is huge and maybe Canyon village would be better location. Unfortunately it under private management.
If you would like to see wild life Lamar valley is your destination
If you like to hike take Bunsen peak, not far from campground and Petrified forest trail from AllTrails app., you can continue hike to Soecimen ridge total 4 miles out and back. Difficult

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.
