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.

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.

Great area.
The hosts had plenty of firewood when we ran out, and were very pleasant.

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.

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.

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.

Lovely campground. Campground employees were very helpful. Very clean toilets and campsites. Campsites are well-spaced, especially on the upper loop. The Forest Service and concessions are working hard to repair the damage from the flooding.
