What Guests Are Saying
Lodgepole Campground is praised for its stunning scenery, access to hiking trails, and clean facilities, including well-maintained bathrooms. Camp hosts are often described as friendly and helpful, enhancing the overall camping experience. While some sites are less suitable for tent camping due to sloping terrain, the peaceful environment and proximity to Jefferson Lake make it a popular choice for campers.

On Monday, July 24, 2023 I reserved 030 at the Lodgepole campground near Fairplay, CO for Friday nite July 28-29, 2023. When we arrived the site was reserved for someone else for July 28-30. The camp hosts were very uninformed about what we should do. The man told us to set up camp since the others had not arrived but his wife told us we could not have the site. Both of them said they had never had this happen before and didn't know what to do. So we left and drove back to Denver. very frustrated and disappointed! I had proof of our reservation on my phone but they would not accept it.

Campground is clean. Most campers are respectful. Even though there are a lot of sites, you do feel your privacy. There was a guy playing a guitar and singing, a few dogs that joined in. The only gripes I have are:
the washboard road to get there.
$9 daily fee on top of what you pay for reservations and booking fee and
Random generator running during quiet hours.
But, I can get past this for the hiking trails, fishing, moose, snd heron.

The hosts are so nice and this campsite was very large. However, don’t bring your grandma or anyone fragile to it. This particular site you have to scamper up a steep part to get to the site and it’s very slippery. There’s also an incredible amount of bugs, but hey, it’s camping!
