Mammoth Campground (Yellowstone)

The campground gets a 5 stars! The night camphost/employee get 0 stars!

I loved the way the campsite was set up the picnic table , food storage, fire ring, and car parking was up top then you walk down a small hill to get to the tent pad, this was so nice because you did not see car lights at night. The best part about the campground was the wonderful bathrooms there was running water, flushing toilets, it was new and so clean!

The campground was quiet and peaceful during the day with elk wondering through. When checking in the employee made a point about quiet hours and that they patrol, I really liked that as we were getting up at 4 am to leave for a hike. We head down to sleep about 9pm and our neighbors are being loud but we figure at 10 they will calm down. 10 pm rolls around they keep on being loud, it is so loud I can hear them through my noise canceling headphones and my mother could hear them without her hearing aids. 10:45 rolls around another campsite screams “shut the F up!” We think that will bring the camp host or someone, nope it does not. They finally went to bed at 12:45am and never once did we hear someone come by from the campground.

Mammoth was a nice location on the north end of the park. It's close to the hot springs, tower area, and valley. However you will drive 1-2 hours to the other major park areas. We took a day trip to Yellowstone Hot Springs & Gardiner which was nice to take a break from driving. Also the visitor center at Mammoth has wifi.

The campground has a really nice location and the sunrise/sunsets were beautiful!

Campground seems to be renovated. Everything in excellent condition.

The campground hosts were helpful and available to provide information and answer questions. We had unreliable cellular service via AT&T at the campground. The restroom facilities were clean and stocked. The locations of water spigots were convenient.

Would recommend campsite #45 - fantastic view of the open field where we had a herd of Elk, a Grizzly Bear with 2 cubs, and an Eagle come by. We stayed in multiple places in Yellowstone - this is the only place where we wanted to come back early for dinner just to see what would show up.

The surroundings were beautiful, and the camp hosts were very friendly. However, I find it outdated that a campground doesn't have showers or wastewater disposal options. You have to carry your dishwater to a restroom building because they're afraid bears might wander onto the campsite.

We stayed in site #34 and it had beautiful, beautiful views! The sites were pretty close together, but that is how most of the national park campsites are. The bathrooms were clean, and did I mention the views? Ha! Mammoth Springs was very close to National Park restaurants, gas, post office, etc.
We enjoyed our stay here immensely.

Our campsite was excellent and we enjoyed the views. Unfortunately, we could only get a reservation for 1 night and we noticed the next day all campers were heading out like us. It’s a shame that more consecutive nights aren’t available at Yellowstone unless you book a year in advance. Potable water, restrooms, and Ranger station were all great at Mammoth.

Great location for all of the activities in the Northwest part of the park! Seems to be a bit more frequently hit by storms though!
