Indian Creek Campground

Indian Creek Campground offers 70 campsites positioned at the base of the Gallatin Range with views toward Electric Peak from most spots. The location sits at high elevation surrounded by forest and open meadows where the landscape changes throughout the seasons.

The campground was established in Yellowstone's early development as a way to provide visitor access to the remote northern region. Over time it has maintained its simple character while serving as a base for exploring the park's natural features.

The grounds reflect the National Park Service commitment to maintaining natural spaces where visitors experience wildlife in their native environment.

The site operates on a first-come, first-served basis without reservations, so arrival early in the day increases chances of finding an open spot. Each campsite includes a fire ring, picnic table, and bear-proof storage box.

Large herds of bison and elk regularly move through the campground area as part of their natural migration routes. Visitors can often observe these animal movements from camp, particularly during early morning and late evening hours.
