We've only stayed here twice - and during September - when camping was probably way more low-key than mid-summer. We loved the beautiful fall colors and cooler high altitude temps. Lodgepole hosts some spacious sites, clean vault toilets, and during September the guests all seemed quite polite to one another. We specifically booked our site to mtn bike on the Colorado Trail up to Georgia Pass and eventually to Breckenridge. This campground is an excellent staging point with access directly to the CT, especially if you have someone who can drive your shuttle back to camp later in the day.
