We really enjoyed this place. There is a little river that runs thru it and hiking trails everywhere. It was really nice to see people getting out and enjoying being outside and even more sitting around campfires. This site even had a Lodge where you could get food and other items if needed.

Quite nice temperature in July. We were able to fit two sedan cars in our parking space. There is a sink next to the bathrooms which could be used for washing, which is nice.

Nice spot. The bathroom for this campsite and the bathroom in the lodgepole visitor center were probably the worst national park bathrooms Ive ever used.

Lodgepole is a great campground surrounded with beautiful hikes and close to main points of interest in the park. Rangers were also super helpful and nice. Only complaint were some of the other campers who 1) played loud music day and night 2) left trash behind. Please be mindful for those who actually take joy in the quietness of nature.

I usually hate camping in the big park campgrounds, but this one was relaxed and the trails and stream right there was great!

Bears! Not sure what happened after we left but there was a juvenile bear that wandered into the campground nearly every night. One night there was a bear management person who spent the night and used an air horn to keep the bear away but one night wasn’t enough! Last night we were there at least 6 dumpsters were over turned.
Otherwise a great trip, Rangers we’re very responsive, beautiful park even during a drought.

its next to a trailhead which is not as heavy used compared to the waterfall trail but if that is an issue with you, look for another site. overall, great experience, the restroom were a hot mess. it was great we used mask anyways because the smell is not tolerable. hot garbage, but i am sure they clean that up, i just wish they cleaned while we were there. other than that, great campground, and close to the creek.
