Stayed here to get out of town for the weekend. Nice dry camping campground at the base of Beartooth Pass. Campground roads can be narrow and backing into sites can be tricky for longer rigs. Site 15 was on a slight incline but with the paved RV pad found a level spot. Our TT (29 ft bumper to hitch) has opposing slides, we had plenty of room. Site included picnic table and fire pit. Lots of shade from pine trees. If using portable solar bring 20-30ft of extension wire to find optimal position. Camp hosts were nice.

We stayed a few nights at the Parkside Campground in a reserved site. We ended up moving over to Greenough campground for another five nights when an awesome non-reservable site opened up.
You can't go wrong here. We happened to have a lovely site on the creek, but the non-creek sites are wonderful too. In fact, the water was so fast when we were here, it was treacherous for wandering children and/or pets. A non-waterfront site would alleviate that stress.
There are four campgrounds all very close together, including Greenough and M-K and Limberpine. M-K is down a rough gravel road, so if that isn't your thing, don't choose that one. Greenough and Parkside are very similar. We quickly drove through Limber Pine, and it looked fine as well.
If all these campsites are full (all had openings when we were there over the 4th of July) there are many, many dispersed campsites in the area.
The Beartooth Highway is one of the most beautiful roads we have ever traveled. I strongly suggest leaving your trailer at the campground so you can enjoy the beauty as you navigate through multiple, tight, steep switchbacks. It is doable, but much more enjoyable without towing.
I highly recommend Parkside or Greenough. We would have stayed the full 16 days allowable if we had the time.

We were lucky enough to camp here in September, after the summer season. There were very few others in the campground, but it looked like it fills on the weekends.

We were lucky enough to camp here in September, after the summer season. There were very few others in the campground, but it looked like it fills on the weekends.
Parkside Campground is located 12 miles south of Red Lodge, Montana, just off the scenic Beartooth Highway.
The campground sits in the shadow of the Beartooth Range. Wildlife, including grizzly bear, deer and elk, make their home in the surrounding area.
Picnic tables and campfire rings are provided, as are accessible vault toilets and drinking water. Trash needs to be deposited at the Greenough Lake Campground.
The town of Red Lodge, Montana offers a variety of dining venues. It is a cute town with a grocery store and amenities you might need.
The campground is so close to the Beartooth Highway, and it can be enjoyed easily without having to pull the trailer over it...which I think would be white knuckle pulling a trailer.
The Beartooth Highway was deemed "the most beautiful drive in America" by the late Charles Kuralt. It crosses the rugged Beartooth Mountains from Red Lodge to Cooke City, Montana, and is the highest elevation highway in the Northern Rockies. A MUST drive.
There is no cell service.
Firewood is available from the camp host.
