Mammoth Hot Springs Campground

The Mammoth Hot Springs Campground contains 85 sites spread across a terrain populated with juniper and Douglas fir trees near thermal features.

The establishment of this camping area marked a significant development in Yellowstone's accommodation services when the park received its national designation in 1872.

Rangers conduct evening educational programs at the campground, teaching visitors about local geology, wildlife patterns, and environmental preservation techniques.

The facility maintains year-round operations with 82 sites, featuring food storage lockers, water spigots, and flush toilets, though shower facilities are not available.

Elk and bison regularly walk through the camping areas, creating direct encounters between visitors and free-roaming wildlife in their natural habitat.
