Beware --- this campground has a resident black bear that can rip the top off of a trash dumpster! Do NOT sleep in a tent with any kind of food inside unless you're wanting to make friends with Yogi and/or Booboo.

The campsite manager was very helpful. Unfortunately, stupid people think it is ok to throw bags of their dog poop on the floor in the bathroom and assume the manager will take care of it. Too lazy to walk and dispose of dog excrement in the provided bear proof garbage containers. Some of humanity lack thoughtfulness, but you would think those appreciative of nature would be more considerate.

This was our first time staying at lodgepole and it was a very positive experience. It was quiet, the bathrooms were really clean and there is a water pump on site. We even saw a moose on the road head up to the campground! Jefferson lake is a couple miles away and so beautiful! Although the road is super bumpy, there are no big holes or anything, so any vehicle can make it up. The only downside is if you stay on the side of the campground parallel to the road it gets dusty from all the dirt being kicked up when people drive by. We left on a Sunday and the trash was overflowing so maybe plan on packing out your trash if you stay on a weekend. Overall a really great experience!
