) This low-key spot is probably the park's most underused
campground - most people speed by between Mammoth and Old Faithful - which is one
reason we like it. Plus, it's often the last in the park to fill up. It's set in open forest on a
low rise and surrounded by moose territory, and there are several hiking trails nearby - to
Indian Creek, along the former stagecoach road, or part way along the Bighorn Pass Trail
(look for a handout detailing campground trails). Generators are not allowed, but firewood
is sold. The site is 8 miles south of Mammoth Junction.

) A classy vibe, a good variety of accommodations
(112 rooms) and a useful location make this one of the park's most popular accommoda-
tions. The main choice is between the hotel rooms in the main building or cabins out back.
The cheaper options come with a sink and communal bathrooms, either down the hall in
the hotel block or in a separate block out back by the budget cabins.
The main en suite hotel rooms echo the historic feel of the hotel with antique-style
bathroom fittings, clawfoot tubs and old black-and-white photos on the walls. The cabins
(closed in winter) are mostly duplex units, with a porch to sit on, but if you value your pri-
vacy you can request a detached cabin. The cabins are a bit cheaper than the hotel rooms
but don't come with a phone.
Frontier cabins come with a private bathroom, shower and two double beds. Some
come with a queen bed and private outdoor hot tub, enclosed in a privacy fence, for $217.
The hotel suites have a living room and bedroom, the only cable TV in the park, and can
sleep four in two queen beds.
