we were called 2 days before our reserved arrival date telling us they had just closed the campground then stuck us in a spot in firefighters. Utah you can do better. If it wasn't for sheep canyon drive which was beautiful, I d called the trip a wash.

Very beautiful. Close to road but being in a trailer made it ok. Will go again. We had lots of shade. One negative was a closed rv dump station. Seems like every one is closed.

The campground and restrooms were very clean, it was a great place to camp. The lack of water was inconvenient, but we brought enough for us so it was fine. The only criticism is that no one other than us had their dog on a leash, not even the host. The host’s dog had total freedom to run through the campground which didn’t seem fair since we kept ours on a leash. One of the other campers dogs chased my son and tried to bite him, not cool. Hopefully that can change in the future, we would love to come back if others can follow the rules.

Lodgepole Campground is in a beautiful area where we would have loved to explore more, but they don't have any water. If we would have been alerted to no water in the campground we would have come prepared, but they didn't let us know. We could have filled up our tank in the camper but we normally pull a dry camper and fill up when we get to the campgrounds. They sent emails about rules and confirmation but nothing about all the water in the campground being shut off. I had 2 gallons of water I purchased for drinking water and we made it work for one night. We put one gallon down the black tank and used the other for sink baths and dish washing.

Beautiful peaceful place. Being surrounded by birches was awesome. The sites that run through #20’s are worth the stay.
