Located about eight miles 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.
This is a reservable campground run by the National Park Service.
Located on the Grand Loop Road between Mammoth Hot Springs and Norris.
Mission Lookout is available for $25 a night for a maximum stay of seven consecutive nights.
Within the maximum window (a rolling 6 month window), the maximum consecutive stay rule is 7 days and there is a Stay Beyond Maximum Window where customers can book past the 6 month rolling window if there is availability on the last day(s) of the maximum window.
My husband and I camped here for one night on our honeymoon. The campground was cute and had large spaces! The vault toilet near our site was very well maintained. There were also multiple places to get water. If we ever make it back to Yellowstone we will surely stay at this campground again!
Wonderful place to stay when visiting Yellowstone. The sites had fairly nice bathrooms. Clean but a bit smelly. One day the soap dispenser ran out but was full the next day. Buffalo & deer in our camp site. Bears down by the stream. All fantastic! Nice cold clean water by site. Definitely would stay again. Oh, the camp is very vigilant about beast safety with good reason. A pretty stream. 5 miles by camp to play in. It is a day use area. Nice place to wade in and cool off. Fly Fishing also here too.
We had to get 3 different campsites on 3 different days. They are VERY serious about you being out of the campsite promptly at 10 a.m.- even though they knew we had multiples on multiple days-which equates to moving tents (which we did within reason ( less than 10 minutes over) qand there werent any other campers that came in behind us). DON'T move the rocks, not kidding, don't leave anything out, period, insulate your trees with towel, trash bag or cardboard if tying on to them- that said, this is active bear country where if soft camping your sleeping on the strawberry plants and most likely will find a fresh pile next to your tent in the morning. Sites are spacious and clean, bathrooms are tidy, and water is readily available. Pretty quiet in the back loop at night but the loop closer to the road was noisier. All in all not bad, dark, quiet and outdoors, and the check in is very clear. Space 51 probably the best, 36 floods with rain
