Warm Lake was great. I believe you should change your reservation system. I tried so many times to get this reservation to arrive at the campground to find lots of empty spaces. People are gaming the system and the 14 day reservation opportunity is ridiculous. Many years ago perhaps people spent their whole vacation at a campground but not so today.

The outhouses were not very clean and the camp host did not enforce quiet hours. Camp across street and next to camp host had full size speakers and karaoke machine with a generator running until 11:00pm when finally quieted down after being asked by our group multiple times

Beautiful! We camped in the Warm Lake Campground. There are 12 camp sites in the loop with water, clean vault toilets and a campground host. It is a walk or drive to the beach at the lake. We ate dinner at the lodge. The food and service were excellent.

This is a rustic campground with vault toilets and pump water. The campground has elevation gain between sites - so sites 2 and 3 do not have a direct path to site 7 even though the map may appear like there is. I did love this campground - it is quiet with only 12 sites total. A drive to the South Fork of the Salmon down Stolle Meadows road is a must. Warm Lake Lodge has paddle board and Kayak rentals as well as showers you can pay for.

Campsite had large trees and that was about the only thing good about it. DO NOT book the double site, it is just a dirt lot with no trees. The host wasn't there the entire 3 days we stayed and the lodge next door gave us the creeps. We received a lot of dirty looks for being two women with kids. Felt very unwelcome by the crowd. Will not be coming back to warm lake.

Also the water pump is really rusty. It takes like drinking metal and came home to a fine orange dust inside al my water recepticles.

*Experienced backcountry Idaho camper - never felt this uncomfortable in my 20 years living here*.

Fun location with no other campers while we were there. Having the lodge nearby was handy for meals as needed.
