Guide
Mammoth Hot Springs Gas Station is a fuel stop in Yellowstone’s Mammoth area, with a small seasonal convenience shop. It’s useful for topping off or picking up road supplies on the park’s north side, but it’s a service stop rather than a sightseeing destination.
Credit-card pumps are available around the clock year-round, with unleaded and #2 diesel. Air and an ATM are also available. Water service is listed, but it isn’t clear whether it’s potable.
