Indian Creek Campground

How does a peaceful camping experience surrounded by Yellowstone's natural beauty sound? Indian Creek Campground, located at 7,300 feet in elevation and just eight miles south of Mammoth Hot Springs, offers a remote and serene setting ideal for those seeking a more primitive getaway. It combines breathtaking views of Electric Peak, access to multiple creeks like Obsidian and Gardner Rivers for fishing, and stunning forest landscapes, all within a stone's throw of Yellowstone's iconic features.

This 70-site, first-come, first-served campground caters to tent campers and smaller RVs (up to 35 feet). Each site includes a picnic table, fire ring, and bear-proof storage locker. Essential amenities such as vault toilets, potable water, and bear-safe trash disposal are available, though there are no hookups or showers. Generators are prohibited, ensuring quiet hours for a truly tranquil experience. The campground’s amphitheater and proximity to the Big Horn Pass Trailhead make Indian Creek a hub for hiking enthusiasts, while nearby streams provide excellent opportunities for fly-fishing.

Situated in Yellowstone’s northern section, Indian Creek is a short, scenic drive from Rusty Falls, the Sheepeater Cliff Picnic Area, and the colorful terraces of Mammoth Hot Springs. Whether you're planning a day hike across the Gallatin Range, a fishing excursion, or a quiet stargazing evening by the fire, this hidden gem offers an authentic Yellowstone experience that balances adventure with solitude.
