Shoshone Lake — Yellowstone National Park
Reviewed Apr. 8, 2020

Mosquito city

I camped here in early July while I worked as a wildlife research technician in Yellowstone. The campsite wasn’t that bad - the hike was longer and had decent elevation change. There are several campsites along this trail. Our campsite had an outdoor toilet, bear hangs, a nice fire pit with natural benches and a stream not too far away to collect water to filter. However, the mosquitos were soooo bad (again this was July 1st through the 3rd) we had to hide out in our tents right after work for hours and we couldn’t fully enjoy the beauty of the area. It has annoying to cook dinner with all the mosquitos swarming is. Going out of the tent to use the bathroom was unthinkable unless it was an emergency! Overall, the campsite and surrounding area were very lovely. Shoshone lake is gorgeous and cold.
