Lodgepole is a massive and well-developed campground with pretty much every amenity an NPS campground could provide, including drive-in campsites, water spigots, flush toilets, a market, showers, and a shuttle. The campground follows a river, which is refreshing for a dip when hot out. We stayed for 2 weekend nights in upper loop, 142 Fri night and 143 Sat night. An extra bear box allowed us to stash our food and start our day before the tenants of our next site had checked out (checkout/in time is noon). 142 is a small site on a loop. The tent pad was small but very flat, just fit our 2x 2p backpacking tents. We caught a fair amount of noise at night from the rest of the loop. 143 is next door but right off the road rather than on the loop, so it only really catches noise from 144, with which it shares a large open area. 143/144 would make great joint campsites if you're looking for adjacent sites isolated from other sites. 143 is a very large site with a sizeable but sloped tent pad. There were logs and trees for potentially hanging clothes to dry or a hammock. Bizarrely our very heavy picnic table was placed directly on the tent pad, but we were able to lift it with the combined power of us 4 people. Bathrooms in upper loop were clean but dark (use a headlamp at night), and had limited counterspace for toiletries.
