Tiny Town Campground
Not for those who want sleep
We arrived to this quaint little place after a long fun filled day in Yellowstone National Park. If you are looking for peace and quiet look elsewhere. If you have young children that go to bed before midnight look elsewhere. If you are looking for air-conditioning do not rent the tents because there isn't any. While the place has some cute rustic charm they are located behind a bar and the music goes until 10pm on Sundays and midnight on Friday and Saturday. They have live bands which are so loud that you can feel the music and cannot hear anything else. They do provide ear plugs but they do not help. I enjoying writing and was unable to do so because i could not concentrate, even my noise canceling Boze headphones did not provide any relief. They also need to update security because we had people coming onto the property without using the provided code.

Yellowstone Dreamin Camp
Glamping with a View
We were in need of a place to stay while attending a field seminar in Yellowstone. It is about a 30 min drive to Gardiner/Entrance to Yellowstone. The owners have experience in the hospitality industry and it shows inside the tent. We stayed in the Elk because we wanted a private bathroom. The room had 2 beds (super comfortable and well dressed), refrigerator, couch, writing table and electric fireplace (more for ambiance vs really providing a lot of heat) and still very roomy. They provide a little lantern for night walks to bathroom or back to tent if you don't have your own flash light. The deck off the front was ideal for sitting or practicing yoga. You do have to walk to the bathroom/showers. While we didn't have the opportunity to use the 2 community fire pits or horseshoes, butthey were well placed with a beautiful backdrop of mountains. There is also a small building with a coffee/tea machine and another small refrigerator. You can park right next to the tent.

If you want to take a walk, there are some dirt roads to walk by other surrounding farms.

The tents a pretty dispersed and seemed fairly private. There was only one other couple on the premises so not sure when it is a full house. They offer really nice kennels.

My only ding is they have a few kinks to work out, but I feel they will figure it out. They will be offering speciality breakfasts in the future, but now they are just store bought muffins with yogurt and orange juice. The location gets you off the highway, but you do need to navigate a gravel road for about a mile. Totally drivable for any car.

I think if I stayed here again I would take one of their guiding trips.

Indian Creek Campground — Yellowstone National Park
Review for Cyclists and Hikers
For cyclists and hikers … Indian Creek does have a hiker/biker campsite, but please note: it is limited to TWO pitches with a strict policy of not sharing a pitch. I just turned up and both pitches were free so I was lucky. As of June 2023, I could not find any other campsites on the northern loop of Yellowstone between Madison and Canyon campgrounds. Back country camping for cyclists is ‘illegal’ (according to the park ranger at Tower), so plan accordingly. At Indian Creek there is food storage, picnic tables, and fire pits. Pit toilets only. Very helpful staff in the reception building.

Mammoth Campground — Yellowstone National Park
Always open...
This campground is always open, but how busy it is always seems to change with the season.

Right by the north entrance and Mammoth Hot Springs (which is awesome) and you'll almost always see some elk, but not as close to other "main" attractions so people will pass it by. Sites are a bit open, so you're not as secluded as some of the other campgrounds in the park, but they make up for that by being bigger than the other sites (which unfortunately can attract some pretty large RVs).
Because you don't have the shading of the forest like other sites it can get pretty warm. You have picnic table and fire ring with potable water and running water facilities.

Mammoth Campground — Yellowstone National Park
Breathtaking!
This campground is perfect for anyone who wants a guaranteed experience with wild life. There is a large herd of elk that bed in the middle of the camp and it is absolutely breathtaking. The entire camp is reasonably quiet and if you are lucky enough, you will hear the bugle of the male elk of the herd. As long as you don’t bother them, they will not bother you. The price to stay is very reasonable. They also have bathrooms, water, bear boxes and fire pits. It will be an amazing experience you will never forget!

Mammoth Campground — Yellowstone National Park
Surprising quiet campground
We stayed at Mammoth campground during our last visit to Yellowstone as we were unable to get one of the back country campsites we were hoping for. Lucky for us we arrived in the park before 10am and Mammoth had plenty of spots available. Mammoth is a first-come, first-serve campground with a well organized check-in procedures, no need to search for open campsites, the rangers at the check-in station will let you know what is available and show you on the map the available sites. Cost is$20 a night. This campground like all the ones in the park fills up fast, so get their early. The 85 site campground has paved roads with gravel parking pads. Sites have platforms for the tents. Dumpsters are though out the campground, and recycling is available at the entrance. The campground has flush toilets and water faucets are through out the grounds. Each site has its own bear proof food locker, as well as a picnic table and metal fire ring. Their is a nightly ranger program at 9:30pm. We stayed in site 77 and found the campground to be very quiet, even with the park road running right by. The slow speed of 35 mph helps keep the noise down and after about 10pm we really didn't notice cars going by. Morning traffic does start up just after 5pm, but the noise did not wake this light sleeper. Another factor that help keep noise down was the quiet hours, while this tends to do little at other campgrounds to prevent campers, and kids from being loud or from generators being run at night, the strictly enforced notice and posted$50 fine really does the job. Fire wood is available to purchase for$8 a box, kindling for$3 a bundle and they will provide matches if you need them. You do have cell service at the campground.

Mammoth Campground — Yellowstone National Park
Worth getting there early
We tried to grab a spot on a Wednesday around 1PM and they were full! Woke up around 530 to get there early and were still the 3rd car waiting. Got a beautiful spot away from the main road, close to water spigots and well kept bathrooms. Fire pits, picnic tables and bear boxes at every spot. $20 per night, easy check out, and friendly rangers. Overall great location for a night or two at Yellowstone.
