If you can get a creek side location in upper Parkside they are the best! Other locations are okay.

We always enjoy building memories at Parkside! The legacy of the "Rock" at site 17 has pleased generations and imaginations through play in our family!

We loved camping at Parkside Campground! The host was super friendly and helpful. We stayed in Site #12 overlooking a small meadow and the Beartooths, and it was beautiful. You could hear the river from the site. We've stayed at the campground before, and Site #s 8, 9, 10, and 12 are the best. We will definitely be back!

We scored this amazing tent site only 4 days prior and couldn’t be more thrilled! Being just feet away from the creek and at the base of beautiful mountains has us already making plans to return. Our only regret is that we could only stay 1 night.

This is a wonderful location. Quiet, scenic and relaxing all in one spot. We stayed in site 16 which was a great spot. However, we were in a full profile 5th wheel at 40ft in length and ended up having to back out of the campground after our stay as the loop presented a few trees staggered along the loop that would have damaged our RV had we tried to drive around it. Other than that the place is wonderful!

The temperatures never made it out of the 40's for several days around the 4th of July. Prepare accordingly.
