Amazing campground, location and experience! We saw deer, chipmunks, squirrels, a variety of birds, and plenty of signs of bears! The amphitheater was awesome and the ranger programs were incredibly helpful and fun. We loved the marketplace and the convenience of how close everything was that we wanted to do (General Sherman, Museum, hiking trails, meadows, etc.). One of the best camping trips we have had in a long time! Thank you!

This is one of the best campsites ever!! 124, 125 and 128 both have clear views of the waterfall. 128 is a bit more private, but you have a few stairs to contend with. Not many, and Ill probably opt for 128 next time. A few people walk by along the river to play in the falls. Didnt bother me at all. I highly recommend these walk-in sites at the end of Lodgepole. I was there during peak season mid-July, and it was quiet and peaceful. I would not recommend these walk-in sites to anyone with children under 5, however. Too many cliffs and boulder fields, plus the stairs if youre in 128. I snatched one toddler from another campsite running hellbent towards the drop off to the river through my site. Another 4-year old fell down the stairs from 128. Restrooms were clean and convenient with a dish washing sink.

Definitely a gem site! Even though you need to walk few meters from the shared parking area, it didnt bother us that much. Glad we got the wheeled cooler and wagon, which makes fewer trips between the car and our site. The little creek and fall is just in front of us and they become natural white noise during the night, which is wonderful! The site is not big, but enough privacy.

A beautiful and thriving wilderness amongst the campgrounds. Each space has a fair distance from neighbors. Bathrooms flush and the market is nearby and easily accessible.

Disappointing the whole campground is reserved, but when you arrive, its 75% full.

Beautiful to be in such wondrous Nature!

Our family had a fantastic first-time experience at Lodgepole Campground! Fire restrictions took nothing away from a wonderful family time of hiking, swimming, and spending quality phone-free time together. Once we got used to it, the freedom from our phones was wonderful!! (If phone access is needed, it can easily be obtained with a 5-10 min drive up the road.)

The campground market was also a great help for any forgotten or needed supplies.

Note: Please fellow campers, don’t try to sneak in a campfire if not allowed...one uncontrolled spark can ruin this natural treasure. The beautiful trees and animals you see will make the risk not worth it. Please follow the rules.

Thank you staff for this fantastic campground! You were a great help and so nice when asked about hiking trails. Our 3 boys are already asking to return :)

Awesome! The handful of sites at the far east end of the campground are great and all right near the river.
