What Guests Are Saying
Picnic Point is a beautiful and well-maintained campground that quickly became a favorite for visitors, offering a stunning swimming beach at the lake and proximity to a lodge resort. The atmosphere is peaceful and quiet, making it ideal for a relaxing getaway. The only minor drawback is the need to park at the top and carry belongings down to the campsite.

The sites were great and the camp host very friendly. The lodge at the bottom of the hill has great a kitchen but gets pretty rowdy on Friday night. The bar crowd dies down around 1:30. Bring some ear plugs if that's not your party scene.

Love the space! Always a little loud with the party people at the lodge, but at least they’re having a good time ☺️

Beautiful view! Not too far of a walk, it is the furthest one from parking but it was an enjoyable walk. Our dog had lots of fun!

Beautiful spot, great views of the lake, nice little walk in campground. Unfortunately the little cabin resort next door had some rowdy, super loud people that were partying & screaming into the middle of the night, kind of ruined the experience of being in nature and trying to get away from it all. Surprised the sheriff was not called out. Would stay somewhere else next time.

One of my favorite places to take the kids! Beautiful and so close to the lake. Can be kind of noisy at night.

The camp site overlooks Warm Lake and you can walk down to the lake from a few spots within the grounds. So, this is lovely and my husband and I enjoyed a beer on a big rock while watching the sunset. The grounds are GOOD and the bathrooms are clean and you don't have to walk too far from your vehicle to get to your campsite. HOWEVER, maybe it's due to covid that people are on edge but the other people in the site were incredibly rude and yelling and partying until 2 am. Everyone is packed in pretty closely together and if one group decides they're going to be rude then it certainly ruins the sleeping efforts of everyone else in the campground. I am all for having a good time and I will give people some extra time over quiet hours (10 pm). But, 2 am is totally ridiculous and we couldn't sleep...even with earplugs. There's also no camp host here so there was nobody to tell them to be quiet (several campers did and they refused to listen). So, a word of caution...this campground is already pretty LOUD as people are really close to one another. If you add that to one really inconsiderate group you're not going to enjoy yourselves. It's really unfortunate you can't count on people being respectful of others while getting out and enjoying nature. I will NOT be back to risk it again.

The campground and restrooms were maintained wonderfully! Care taker was by twice every day. Super job.

The view is great (bluff). Right next to the beach and lodge store. Only 8 campsites, so few people. Quiet.

This is a great location for car camping! It's small and you have to walk in so you are farther away from the cars and the road. It feels more remote than the other Warm Lake drive-up sites. We have been here twice and will definitely come again.
