Beautiful area, camp site was not "full shade", it was full sun. Would not have booked it if we knew it was full sun for the whole day. Plan accordingly. Parking is not in your camp site, expect to park in a space next to other cars and walk your belongings to your site. Camp sites are very close together. Overall, it was pretty, there is a river that runs through the campgrounds and it is easy access to the shuttles. People were respectful with keeping noise down after 10pm.

We visited at the end of May. Beautiful day time weather in the 70s. However, do not underestimate the cold nights. We visited most of the sights via the shuttle buses. Our highlights were Crescent Meadow and Moro Rock. We were in site 78 which was amazing. However, if you want the best experience make sure to bring someone to book the spot directly next to it. The two spots are literally back to back. If you get a bad neighbor, your night will be ruined very quickly. Overall, we would stay at Lodgepole again.

The campground was clean but the bathrooms weren’t. There were amenities nearby and it was close to Moro rock and general sherman.

Might be the best campground I've ever stayed at. Site 64 was wonderful: close (but not too close) to the bathrooms, the shuttle stop, and the Tokopah falls trailhead. Felt like there was plenty of privacy from the adjacent campsites. Only downside (and I'm scraping here) is that it is sun exposed from midday on, and that the fire pit grill grate was broken off (but still functional; seemed like many other sites had the same issue)

It snowed 5 inches the evening we arrived and it was like a winter wonderland in the summer months. We were tired & cold (were from the south) so we ended up sleeping in the car. Right next to a convenient store which had very clean restrooms + warmth. Would stay again.

Love Lodgepole Campground but site #36 was worst we stayed at in the park. The good: level parking pad, close to path to village, like the "no generator" policy in this loop. The bad: No shade, no green of any kind really--just a site full of dead trees laying everywhere.No privacy. No wonder this site was one of few available.

- Dangerous Rivers! Many drowning victims were playing near rivers. Rivers present a far greater danger than lakes or pools. Surfaces may look calm, but strong currents often run below. Be cautious walking near rivers as rocks can be slippery. Getting out of a cold, swift river is often impossible. Falling Objects - Don't linger under dead, cracked, or broken branches. Run if you hear cracks or snapping from tree roots, trunks, or branches (know that sometimes there is no sound, and very little time to react). Report falling branches or trees to a ranger.
- A California state fishing license is required to fish in Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks, and Sequoia National Forest lakes and streams. Fishing licenses may be available at National Park and National Forest markets.
