Cellular and Wi-Fi

Cellular Service

Cellular service is limited in Yellowstone. Cell towers at Mammoth Hot Springs, West Yellowstone, Old Faithful, Grant Village, Lake Village, and Mount Washburn provide service to most developed areas and to the North and West entrances. Check with your provider to verify coverage. During summer the number of users can overwhelm cellular circuits resulting in an inability to send or receive calls, text, or use cellular data. Texting is usually the most effective means of communication in the park. Cellular service is available in most nearby communities and along some of the major highways leading to the park. However, areas without coverage exist throughout the region.

Free Wi-Fi is available at the Albright Visitor Center in Mammoth Hot Springs.

Wireless Internet access is available at some of the hotels and lodges around the park for registered guests of Yellowstone National Park Lodges.

Lodging

Everyone needs to sleep and Yellowstone provides lots of options with 9 lodges and 12 campgrounds. There are even more choices in the vibrant communities outside the park.
