Yellowstone, the world's first National Park, is unmatched when it comes to scenery, abundance of wildlife and geological features including the world's most extraordinary geysers. Many of the park's three million visitors per year choose to sleep in one of its 12 campgrounds. Indian Creek Campground is located in a wooded area, at the park's northwestern side. This camp is smaller, more scenic, and less crowded than most campgrounds in the park, and is, therefore, a perfect destination for those looking for some solitude. Other highly scenic campgrounds in Yellowstone National Park are Slough Creek and Pebble Creek, both located in the Lamar Valley, in the northeastern part of the park.
Indian Creek Campground is a great base from which one can venture and explore the park. It is located eight miles south of Mammoth Hot Springs and 13 miles north of Norris, two of the parks famous hydrothermal features. The legendary geyser, Old Faithful, located in the Upper Geyser Basin is only 45 miles away and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River is less than 30 miles away.
Indian Creek Campground is a mid-sized campground with 75 sites. It is open between mid-June and mid-September. As with all campgrounds in the park, nights in the Indian Creek Campground, located at an altitude of 7,300 feet, can be cold and unpredictable. Facilities in Indian Creek Campground include drinking water, pit toilets, picnic tables, and fire grills. Reservations are not accepted; since the park may be crowded during summer months an early arrival is highly advised. Black bears and grizzly Bears frequent this campground – so keep a clean site to ensure safety…an to make sure all your food doesn't get eaten! Have fun exploring Yellowstone National Park, and have fun camping at one of its most beautiful campgrounds!
