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.

Snowing, windy, wet cold. My friends who were supposed to meet us there had their reservations canceled because of the weather with money returned. So let me add lonely to the above description.

We reserved spot #15. It sits right at the beginning of the loop that goes to other campsites in the area, 9-15, as well as those who have to go around the loop so they can back into their spots at the lower campsites...so it is a little busy. The picnic table was made so low that adults can only use half of it. Would be great as a kids table. With that being said, we had a fabulous time! Bathrooms were clean and well stocked and camp hosts were helpful for those who needed them.

This is one of those great small FS parks in a great location. When we were here in September it was sparsely populated, very quiet and very dark at night. The creek-side spots are very nice if you can nab one of those. Lots of vegetation and trees and the sites are of average spacing. In many sites you will find it difficult to get any sun for solar panels. No cell service.

Wasn't clear that our site was a 'pull off the side' site. Worked for us because we have a teardrop but probably need a clearer description of the site.

Love the size of the camp sites. Any smaller, or more campers and it won’t be worth going

This is a small campground. The facilities were nice and well maintained. There are hiking trails off campground and in area. The views are fantastic.

Parkside is the ultimate forest service campground. We enjoy being there so much. It is easily accessible, quiet, and always well-kept.
