Lodgepole Campground is very nice and close to some great hikes. Site #36 is listed as "equipment required" but not "no tents". We had a camper van and 2 tents at the site. The ranger came by in the morning and told us it was actually "RV only" and to move the tents onto the asphalt pad which was insane. Would not recommend this site if you intend to put up any tents on it.

Let me give you an actual helpful review.
The campground was great, I would recommend the upper loop because there is more shade and the river gets bigger up there. You can definitely fit 2 big tents on any campground. there is no designated space anymore. The showers are closed for the rest of this season but bathing in the river was still nice. No phones. There are pay phones at the visitor center/grocery store. It is 20 degrees cooler than the bottom of the mountain. It said 70 degrees on google weather but in reality it was 90, the cities below the mountain were around 110. Great campsite loved it. Saw bears. campsites are far enough apart. If you want it more quiet camp in no generator areas.

Have fun!
