Mammoth Campground

Open full profile →

The only campground in the park open year-round, Mammoth Campground—elevation 6,200 feet (1890 m)—is located five miles south of the park's North Entrance. Scattered juniper and Douglas fir trees provide shade during hot summer months. The campground is close to fishing, hiking, and the Mammoth Hot Springs. Great wildlife viewing opportunities abound with elk and bison occasionally passing through the campground. The campground is run by the NPS.

Sites are reservation-only from early April to mid-October and first-come, first-served from mid-October to late March on Recreation.gov. Individual campsites at this campground can be reserved up to six months in advance. Reservations open on a rolling basis, meaning you can book your site exactly six months before the date of your stay, as long as reservations are available for that time.

Accessibility and facilities

wheelchair Access

Paths in the campground area are compacted gravel/dirt with some gradient change. In some cases, boardwalks have been constructed to provide easier access to facilities.

internet Info

No Wi-Fi at the campground. Free, public Wi-Fi is available at the Albright Visitor Center.

cell Phone Info

There is a cell phone tower near Mammoth Hot Springs: check with your provider to verify coverage. The number of people in the busy summer months of July and August can overwhelm cellular circuits resulting in an inability to send or receive a call, text, or data.

fire Stove Policy

Wood and charcoal fires are permitted, though special fire restrictions are occasionally put in place when the danger of wildland fires is great. If you plan to light a fire in the park, please ask about current fire restrictions at the entrance station when you arrive or email our Visitor Services Office immediately prior to your visit. Propane grills and stoves are normally not restricted.
