I spent the night of Monday, June 24th at the Yellowstone River & Hellroaring Creek Confluence (Campsite #2H2) with 5 friends. The site is beautiful. The tenting area sits about 30 feet above on small bluff overlooking the confluence. There is a path to a beautiful black sand beach where you can watch the sunset. The “tenting” and “cooking” areas are NOT 200 feet apart as Yellowstone claims, likely due to limited space at the site. We had no issues though. When we visited the park was swarmed with mosquitoes, but they were relatively tame here, at least until the sun went down. Be aware that the trail to this campsite is not well marked after passing campsite #2H4. Your best bet is to just follow the creek until you can reestablish contact with the trail. There is also an unmarked trail that has been blazed presumably by people who lost the trail that arrives at the campsite in a round-about sort of way. There are several steep but short mounds to climb over just before the campsite. I would love to revisit this campsite in the future when I visit Yellowstone!
