Mammoth Hot Springs Campground

Mammoth Hot Springs Campground is located in Yellowstone National Park with more than 80 campsites set among juniper and fir trees. The sites are positioned near thermal features that shape the appearance of the surroundings.

This campground was among the first places in Yellowstone to provide lodging for visitors after the park's establishment as a national park in 1872. Its development reflects the early history of park management.

Evening ranger programs teach visitors about the geology and wildlife that surround the campground. These talks help people connect with the landscape they are camping in.

The campground operates year-round and has water spigots, flush toilets, and food storage lockers for safety. Showers are not available, so plan accordingly if you need bathing facilities.

Elk and bison regularly walk through the campsites, giving visitors close encounters with wild animals in their natural habitat. These animal sightings are what make this place especially memorable for many campers.
