It's known for its accessible amenities like tent pads, water access, and picnic benches, while also providing opportunities for wildlife viewing, including elk visits. However, visitors should be aware of potential generator noise and lighter tree coverage due to its location on the park's desert side.

The tree coverage is relatively light, typical of the park's desert side. The campground features tent pads, easily accessible water, and picnic benches, enhancing the comfort of campers.

Promotional Information:
Mammoth Campground in Yellowstone National Park offers scenic camping with tent pads, picnic benches, and wildlife sightings. While convenient, it can experience generator noise and has lighter tree coverage. Ideal for those seeking a balance of amenities and natural beauty. Love the tent pad, the easily accessible water and picnic benches. If there was anything to knock (and this is nitpicky) the tree coverage is fairly light though in fairness it is on the desert side of the park. Also it was a bit of a hike to deal with Grey water. We had a wonderful time though and the morning sun is shielded by the beautiful mountains. Birds and chipmunks are all over the place and sometimes there are visits from Elk in the campground. Hosts were great and it was very peaceful camping. Beautiful location and nice sites but the generators are out of control. The RV lobby must own the Park Service. The noise and fumes in one of the most beautiful places in the country is wholly unacceptable and incredibly depressing. Don’t plan on listening to the wind or the elk bugle during your stay. If you’re a tent camper beware. I miss the good old days of Yellowstone camping.

Love this park! It's close to the Mammoth hot springs and is open all year round. We were at site #22. Great views and the sites are big enough for 30 ft trailers. We drove around Yellowstone and encountered Bison crossing the road. Being that it was April 2, this was the only park open but it was still a great experience because it was not busy at this time. Would definitely come back again for mid April (15th) when all the other parks and roads open up.
Great location! So convenient to Mammoth and Lamar Valley. Camp hosts were so friendly and helpful. Sites are very large (we have a 34ft 5th wheel) offering good privacy. Plenty of places to fill up with water. So beware: there is road construction in the area and construction vehicles are super noisy traveling past the campground. Would suggest earplugs if tent camping. Lots of wildlife wander through this campground. Be aware and give them some space!
Good campground. Quit, comfortable. No traffic noise. Only fresh water. And toilet. No dump station.
