NPS and private campgrounds, along with cabins, lodges and hotels, are all available in the park. Reservations are essential in summer. Contact the park concessionaire Xanterra to reserve a spot at its campsites, cabins or lodges.
Plentiful accommodations can also be found in the gateway towns of Cody, Gardiner and West Yellowstone.
The best budget options are the seven NPS-run campgrounds (campsites $14) in Mammoth, Tower Fall, Indian Creek, Pebble Creek, Slough Creek, Norris and Lewis Lake, which are first-come, first-served. Xanterra runs five more campgrounds (listed here; reservations accepted, $20 per night), all with cold-water bathrooms, flush toilets and drinking water. RV sites with hookups are available at Fishing Bridge.
Xanterra-run cabins, hotels and lodges are spread around the park and are open from May or June to October. Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel and Old Faithful Snow Lodge are the exceptions; these are also open mid-December through March. All places are nonsmoking and none have air con, TV or internet connections.
