This quickly became one of our favorite places to camp. It's a beautiful place; the lodge resort is just down the hill if you need anything, and the swimming beach at the end of the lake is amazing. We will definitely be back. The only drawback to this campground at all was that you have to park at the top and pack your stuff in, but it's so worth it. It's just beautiful there.

I booked this campsite for a friend's birthday camping trip, having never been to Warm Lake previously, and it was so wonderful. We were on site 001, which is the campsite closest to the parking lot, the bathrooms, potable water, and also some (kinda steep but super convenient) stairs with perfect lake access for paddleboarding or fishing. Even though it was a short walk from the parking lot to the campsite, we still used a wagon to carry most of our belongings, which made a world of difference. The sites are pretty close together, since this campground is a small loop with 8 individual campsites, but everybody was nice and super respectful of each other.

It had such a beautiful view of the lake and had ample space for all 8 of us. We were able to fit 4 smaller tents at this one campsite while still having enough room for all our camp chairs and even another foldable table for playing games. We ran out of firewood the first night and went to the lodge to get some more, which was a literal one-minute drive or like a 5-minute walk down to the sandy beach area.
