What a beautiful campground! We stayed Monday-Friday and had a great time using the campsite as a base camp while we visited the sights at Yellowstone. Our particular campsite had a fire pit that was raised off the ground 2-3 feet which made trying to cook on the grill difficult with the base of the fire so far below the grill. We had a Dutch oven and some charcoal and were able to cook what we needed inside the pit and other foods on our propane grill. The mosquitoes were a bit annoying but sometimes thats the case camping. Over all our stay was great. The site has a good mix of open areas and shade. Only real complaint is the site was listed as having space for 3 vehicles and we could hardly get two in the parking space, we had to park in a T configuration because they would not fit side by side. (A small 7ft wide trailer and a ford expedition). There are no showers and the campground only has vault toilets and some water spigots at various sites. This was not a bother for us but depending on how you like to camp the vault toilets can some times be a little nasty in the heat of the day. The park staff was wonderful, they do seem to make rounds often keeping an eye on the campground. You will also not find any cell service with at least AT&T. This was great not having the kids nag for phones or screen time and really focused on playing other ways and enjoying the outdoors. The lack of service was only cumbersome when trying to look up park information to plan out the next day. I recommend you have your itinerary ready before hand or plan on driving 20-30 minutes (one way) to mammoth springs area to use the visitor WiFi to get internet access. Just book a site already, plan ahead, and go make some memories!

Campground in a very quiet and a bit isolated location. Dry toilets, no lavatories for hand or dish washing, only a faucet. We saw a bison at the edge of the campground.

I had a wonderful time at this campsite. The wife and husband who were the host made my experience even better. It was the first campsite that a host went and gathered firewood for me without me knowing as I was touring on a motorcycle. I felt at home immediately and was the highlight of my Yellowstone trip.

Campsites offered more privacy than many.

Indian Creek is one of the best campgrounds in Yellowstone, in addition to Slough Creek. Indian Creek is more remote than the larger campgrounds and is quiet, shaded, and clean. There was plenty of outhouses and water spigots. Would be nice if they had showers, but it’s worth not having them for being able to stay here. It feels more private than many campgrounds in Yellowstone due to the trees and layout. The campground felt safe and the camp host and staff were kind and it was noticeable that they cared about the campground very much. In addition, it is a great location and close to many great areas of the park. Definitely recommend!
