Lodgepole is east of the park, and about a 35-minute drive from Sunset, one of the more breathtaking locations in the park. You will ascend the road toward Naches Peak, then go down the switchbacks on the SW side before entering the park and climbing again toward Sunset.
My children and I were there to visit MRNP, so our reference points are in terms of the campground's distance from the activities there. The American River crawls around the edge of the campground's sites. There was a strict ban on all campfires (even in pits/rings) so we were not able to enjoy this part of the camping experience but still had a wonderful time.
On the 2nd evening of our stay, we drove to the Sheep Lake and Sourdough Gap Trailhead (just a few hundred yards from the Naches Peak Summit on Highway 410) and busted out our telescope to check out the nighttime views. Washington in the summer has a fairly late astronomical twilight (well after 11pm) so this made for a late night to bed, but it was one of many varied activities one can enjoy in and near this campsite.
We would definitely return again!
