Indian Creek Campground — Yellowstone National Park
Indian Creek Campground sits about eight miles south of Mammoth Hot Springs on the road to Norris, at 7,300 feet near the base of the Gallatin Mountains with wide views of Electric Peak. It sits away from the main road and runs quieter and more primitive than most campgrounds in the park. The Bighorn Pass trailhead is on the entrance road, and fishing and hiking access are easy.
