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.

Always like camping at Lodgepole with the wildlife and hiking trails nearby plus short drive to Jefferson Lake which is a must. Clean restrooms and sites with lots of space in between sites. Only thing that was little challenging was finding a level service to pitch my tent (site 14). Sites are maintained but some sites appear to be rocky but made do. Nice hiking trail at the end of the campground that hooks up to various trails in the area.

Loved that there was wood available for us. Toilets were clean too!

This camp site has been one of our favorites for the last 4 years. Unfortunately, this trip was spoiled by the Camp Host running their generator almost constantly -- including 10 PM - 6AM! Apparently, they think they're exempt from following camping rules. And we weren't they only ones in the campground that were annoyed by their inconsideration. In previous years the camp hosts have been very friendly and asked if we needed anything. Don't camp here if you expect a decent night's sleep.

Great camping spot. We saw moose every day and even found a cow moose and her two calves in our camp site early one morning.

Nice clean campsite.
Biggest detraction of the campground was the camp hosts! Apparently, they do not have to abide by the same rules as everyone else when it comes to quiet hours and run their generator ALL night long. All other guests observed the quiet hour rules, but not the hosts. Have seen multiple other reviews that have all said the same thing about the hosts.
It's a shame that they do not observe the rules and think it's ok to be disruptive.
