Parkside is a beautiful, well-maintained campground with clean facilities and a friendly host, Dave, who is knowledgeable and accommodating. Visitors appreciate the serene, wooded setting along Rock Creek, excellent for hiking, fishing, and enjoying wildlife. Despite some minor issues with campsite accessibility and occasional noise, the overall experience is highly positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.

Considering the destruction that area had from the June rains and flooding, it was in pretty good shape, the grounds/facilities were clean and other than the overused west latrine, the camp was well maintained.
My only complaint was the fact there was no potable water, or actually the pump was out of service, but being as the creek was close by, we just filled up our water jug, and boiled the water.

We had a great 3 day stay at Parkside CG. This campground came through the floods of June 2022 relatively unscathed. However, there is only one water pump in service for the entire campground.

The Camp Host was informative, friendly, motivated and a delight.
The campground was well maintained. The bathrooms were well maintained, clean and did not smell bad.
The signs were clear and artistic.

A beautiful campground nestled between 2 mountain ranges with the roaring Rock River running through it. Sites were large, treed and spacious. Jane, our Host, was welcoming and kind. Our favorite site on our 5-week trip despite being primitive with no hook-ups. Use this campground as a gateway to Beartooth Pass and the very little used entrance into Yellowstone Park - a truly spectacular drive.

Camp host's system to tag site status as "open" versus reserved dates was confusing. Multiple layers of plastic tags and paper slips inside baggies were clipped to site posts.
