Perfect site #24. Some sites on upper loop were right at the river. We had very short walk to river but could here it from our site. Had 29 foot travel trailer. Host Jerry was fantastic.

Upper Parkside camping areas along the creek are all very nice. We camped before the Memorial Day weekend crush and the campground(s) were nearly empty! Beautiful! Wish campers could learn to not deface/destroy the trees. Teach your children well.

We love this campground. Even though it snowed on us the first night (mid-May - no surprise!), we still had a great time. Took a hike up to Basin Lake, a trail we hadn’t explored before. A great stay all the way around!

Wonderful small campground right on the creek. Great mountain views and hiking right from camp. Friendly campground host. Close to Red Lodge if you’re in the mood to run into town.
