Camping at Mammoth Campground (Yellowstone)

Public campground · Yellowstone · 81 campsites

A forested campground near fishing, and hiking. Most campsites have no hookups, and RV fit varies by site.

About this campground

Mammoth Campground sits in the Mammoth Hot Springs area about five miles from Yellowstone's North Entrance near Gardiner, MT, but it is currently closed until further notice because of infrastructure damage from the June 2022 flooding. When open, the campground occupies a high sagebrush steppe dotted with Rocky Mountain juniper and Douglas-fir that provide shade on hot days; the drive in climbs the Gardner River canyon where riparian willows, cottonwoods and steep sandstone walls create a different microclimate and frequent wildlife sightings.

How far ahead to book Mammoth Campground (Yellowstone)

For July weekends, book about 157 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 29 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (22,331 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
