Located 8 miles south of Mammoth Junction, this low-key spot is probably the park’s most underused campground – most people speed by between Mammoth and Old Faithful – which is one point in its favor. Plus, it’s often the last in the park to fill up.
It’s set in open forest on a low rise, surrounded by moose territory, and there are several hiking trails nearby – to Indian Creek, along the former stagecoach road, or partway along the Bighorn Pass Trail (look for a handout detailing campground trails). Generators are not allowed, but firewood is sold. Sites are first come, first served.
