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.

We loved our stay at Parkside. The sites in our loop were well spaced, easy to access, and the campground is beautifully situated in the valley. The vault toilet was clean and odor-free, well supplied and maintained. Drinking water is easy to access from the pump and tastes good. We hope to return.

Quiet park with beautiful creekside sites as well as easy access to Red Lodge, Beartooth highway and area hiking. We enjoyed the nearby Greenough Lake for trout fishing and spent some time watching a local moose graze.

Very pristine, nice site by the river, rushing water, granite mountains rising from the valley. We'll definitely stay there again when traveling through the area.

Great location off Beartooth Hwy.& many spots have great creek views. Small enough to keep area quiet. The cleanest pit toilets I’ve ever used. Good hiking right from the campground. Close to forest road that goes for a long ways down the canyon. This canyon is even more intriguing from the views looking down from Bear Tooth Hwy., I’d bet there are great boondocking spots nearby, next time I would gravel ride that canyon.
