Nice campground inside a mature pine forest. Sixty camp sites with about (5) marked FCFS. No cell coverage. Site #7 got zero StarLink service. One water spigot near the main entrance. About 1hr across Chinock Pass to the Sunrise (Rainier) visitor center. Summer of 2023 the road to Paradise Visitor center is closed M-F. Note small loop on far east end cannot fit an RV.

Report Check-In

Second year we have camped here over the Father's Day weekend. Campground condition relatively unchanged from previous year. Of note, signage on hwy 410 for the campground remains broken and ugly. More troubling, during this immediate visit there was no drinking water available at the campground. Campground uses a solar powered pump and it was not functioning. Camp host advised our group that we had to drive east on 410 to the nearest FS campground to get water from a hand pump. Round trip was about 15 miles. Water at that location has very heavy iron content. No ETA on when water source at Lodgepole is going to be back in service. Also need to note that the pit toilets in the lower loop along the river and servicing the campsites on the river were very odoriferous, more so than the pit toilets in all other locations. I felt like these needed to be serviced, and soon.

Otherwise a nice stay. It would have been nice to know ahead of time of the absence of potable water. Campsite condition was no different from last year, mostly level asphalt parking pads, incredibly large campsites, nice fire pits, stout picnic tables.
