Yellowstone Cell Service & Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi and Internet Service

While most visitors cherish the chance to disconnect in Yellowstone, we understand that some guests appreciate having internet access.

Internet availability in the park is subject to specific park regulations. The service provided is not as fast as what you might be used to at home or work. Due to limited bandwidth, access is restricted to one device per room at a time. During peak use, you may experience very slow speeds.

For guests who need it, complimentary wireless internet is available at the following approved hotel locations.

Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel

  • All guest rooms
  • Public spaces – the lobby and map room
  • Meeting rooms
  • Wi-Fi is NOT available in the Mammoth guest cabins, but cabin guests may access Wi-Fi in the public areas of the Mammoth Hotel.

Canyon Lodge

  • Public spaces in the village lodge – the Canyon Eatery and gift shop buildings
  • Washburn Lodge lobby – where check-in is located
  • All guest rooms
  • All guest cabins

In-park Internet Speeds

In-park internet service is slower than typical home or work service. For example, average home service can deliver 50mbps-70mbps downloads, coffee shops average 10mbps-20mbps, and in-park service averages 1.5mbps. This means that in Yellowstone, it would take:

• One minute to download a single song
• Eight minutes to upload one cell phone photo
• Two minutes to download a YouTube clip
• One hour+ to download a TV show
• Streaming services (for TV shows and movies) will not work

We continue working on solutions that will provide faster service while complying with park regulations and infrastructure limitations. In the meantime, we thank you for your understanding with regard to available internet speeds.

 

Cell Phone Service

Cellular service in Yellowstone is limited and varies by carrier. Cell towers at Mammoth Hot Springs, West Yellowstone, Old Faithful, Grant Village, Lake Village, and Mount Washburn provide service to the park’s main developed areas—including Old Faithful Village, Canyon Village, Lake Village, Mammoth Hot Springs, and Grant Village—as well as the North and West entrances. It’s best to check with your provider to verify coverage. Verizon generally offers the most reliable service, while AT&T tends to be strongest at Canyon Village.

 

During the busy summer months, high user volume can overwhelm the cellular network, making it difficult to make calls or use data. Texting is often the most reliable way to communicate within the park. While cell service is available in most nearby towns and along some major highways, be aware that coverage gaps are common throughout the region.
