Its a beautiful campground. The sites are spacious and surrounded by trees. Rock Creek runs through the campground and we caught (and released) several fish!
@ChanceL8EB54D7 · Camped on Sep 2, 2024 at Campsite #13
Clean camping sites and close to the creek

Great campground and hosts!
@PaulD5437485 · Camped on Aug 17, 2024 at Campsite #25
I can't say enough good about the camp host, there was a mix up with my reservation change and she was able to swap sites with another that I could fit my 36' 5ver on. We did only stay one night out of the 3 as we discovered we where too dependant on having electric hook up.

Beautiful spot next to the river.

Nice campground.

Beautiful campsite right on rock Creek. Campground clean and quiet and we even had a bear wander through our campsite to make things interesting. Camp hosts were friendly and very professional. All around great experience.
@RAYMONDS813751 · Camped on Jun 26, 2024 at Campsite #6
The camp hosts (Bob and Cathy) were great. Bathrooms were cleaned daily. They kept us informed about wildlife in the area. They were very present during the day going through the campground visiting with campers and getting people checked in. Great job!
@MattC3329284 · Camped on May 31, 2024 at Campsite #7
The area is fantastic, but your facilities leave a bit to be desired. The tables are half rotted. One table at one location is so close to the ground it is unusable. One fire ring is completely rusted through. One site does not even have a bear box (very unsafe!) You charge a hefty fee for use and do not put any resources back into the infrastructure.

Great site, great host this year.
@AmyW6150907 · Camped on May 10, 2024 at Campsite #26

@Roseb1813326 · Camped on Sep 4, 2023 at Campsite #8
Beautiful campsites. We were right next to the most beautiful creek. Clean sites and restrooms. Campsite manager, Janey, was awesome. Gave excellent safety instructions and some pretty fascinating stories. We love camping there

Great spot.
@StephenR879500 · Camped on Aug 15, 2023 at Campsite #16
very friendly camp house
@Elizabeth37674 · Camped on Aug 9, 2023 at Campsite #13
Booked 6 months in advance - still not able to get the campspot we wanted
@JenniferS83796 · Camped on Aug 9, 2023 at Campsite #7
We scored this amazing tent site only 4 days prior and couldnt be more thrilled! Being just feet away from the creek and at the base of beautiful mountains has us already making plans to return. Our only regret is that we could only stay 1 night.
@Williamo848B30 · Camped on Aug 7, 2023 at Campsite #1
If you can get a creek side location in upper Parkside they are the best! Other locations are okay.
@ScottW5600178 · Camped on Aug 6, 2023 at Campsite #17
We always enjoy building memories at Parkside! The legacy of the "Rock" at site 17 has pleased generations and imaginations through play in our family!
@LarryL7664136 · Camped on Aug 4, 2023 at Campsite #15
had a very nice spot and everyone was very nice Very good stay
@JasonS8132232 · Camped on Aug 3, 2023 at Campsite #16
This is a wonderful location. Quiet, scenic and relaxing all in one spot. We stayed in site 16 which was a great spot. However, we were in a full profile 5th wheel at 40ft in length and ended up having to back out of the campground after our stay as the loop presented a few trees staggered along the loop that would have damaged our RV had we tried to drive around it. Other than that the place is wonderful!
@AdriaP1381012A · Camped on Aug 3, 2023 at Campsite #20
We loved camping at Parkside Campground! The host was super friendly and helpful. We stayed in Site #12 overlooking a small meadow and the Beartooths, and it was beautiful. You could hear the river from the site. We've stayed at the campground before, and Site #s 8, 9, 10, and 12 are the best. We will definitely be back!
@RalphS4100274 · Camped on Jul 30, 2023 at Campsite #15
Camp host s. Told about bear problems and checed n wth everyone. Very Friendlly and outgoing. Areas are kept very clean and well stocked.
@LydiaL9120045 · Camped on Jul 17, 2023 at Campsite #17
The location was beautiful, however...the noise from generators was incredible. No enforcement on the times they ran, or limits on the number of vehicles parked at each site. It was crazy busy with people driving in and out and partying. Absolutely did not see a host the entire week we were there. Good access to hiking.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
