Indian Creek Campground is a small, rustic National Park Service campground inside Yellowstone National Park, tucked into the woods between Mammoth and Norris in the West Yellowstone region of Montana and Wyoming as our guide frames it. It is one of the park's quiet, no-frills campgrounds, and it suits van lifers, truck campers and owners of smaller trailers who would rather trade amenities for peace than fight for a spot at the big developed campgrounds. Our Yellowstone guide describes it in a sentence, so treat this page as an outline rather than a full review.

Indian Creek Campground is a small, rustic National Park Service campground inside Yellowstone National Park, tucked into the woods between Mammoth and Norris in the West Yellowstone region of Montana and Wyoming as our guide frames it. It is one of the park's quiet, no-frills campgrounds, and it suits van lifers, truck campers and owners of smaller trailers who would rather trade amenities for peace than fight for a spot at the big developed campgrounds.

The practical picture is dry camping: no hookups, vault toilets and no showers, at roughly $20 to $25 a night. There are around 70 sites, and rig fit is the real constraint. About 35 sites take rigs up to 30 feet and roughly 10 stretch to 35 feet, so a 40-foot fifth wheel simply will not fit. The season runs roughly mid-June to mid-September, and sites are booked on Recreation.gov, which for 2026 opens about six months ahead. The trade-off is convenience: you are between the two nearest service hubs with no hookups, so arrive topped off and plan power around batteries and solar rather than shore power.
