This is one of my favorite campgrounds. It has access to the Colorado trail and lots of other good hiking. The lake was quite low but still pretty. Campground was clean as it always is.

Lodgepole is a fantastic location, away from a major highway and access to a lake for hiking or paddle boarding. It’s very beautiful. You can also run into FairPlay for any forgotten items or have some fantastic homemade ice cream.

Campsite and bathrooms were clean. Nicer located with Beaver Pond around and a short distance to the lake.

Campground was clean and the camp hosts were friendly and helpful. Many sites have shade and are close to forest trails.

Great campsite with awesome views. There was a man with a VERY reactive dog that barked the whole time. The water pump had amazing quality water and the campsites were spacious and private. Bathrooms close by and clean. Would have loved to stay longer if there was availability.

I love this campground and it's right on the Colorado trail. The camp host can be a little much but overall would come back.
