What Guests Are Saying
Warner Lake offers a beautiful and peaceful campground surrounded by aspen trees, with wildlife sightings adding to its charm. While the area is currently experiencing some issues with cattle due to ongoing construction, visitors appreciate the cleanliness of the cabin and campground. The location provides excellent access to nearby trails and cooler temperatures compared to Moab, making it a great escape for those willing to navigate the challenging access road.

What a beautiful campground! Perfect for beating the Moab heat and crowds . Nice place to cool off, relax and unwind.

I had never been to Utah. I choose Warner Lake from web page description. My buddy and I who stayed there during our cross country trip were extremely impressed with this camp site. My friend said, "WOW!! You hit a grand slam choosing this place!!". I agreed wholeheartedly.
We will return to this place with our wives I know they will love Warner Lake as much as we did!!

Campsite was great! Lots and lots of trees to keep the sun off during the day, and high up to get away from that desert heat. Felt like an oasis in the middle of the Utah desert. Be aware that the road to the site is long, windy, and unimproved; sometimes it's very steep on one side as well. If you're used to mountain driving it won't be anything at all, but if you're not just be ready to take it slow.

I really enjoyed my stay at Warner Lake Campground. It's a beautiful area just an hour south of Moab. I hope to stay here again. It was nice having a spot reserved ahead of time and not having to worry if the campground was full. (which it wasn't)

This is a beautifully secluded spot in the middle of an aspen forest. The lake view being overlooked by the mountain is unexpectedly gorgeous, and a great place to spend the day. If you're trying to visit Arches National Park but don't want to pay to say in the park, this is a perfect camping spot. It is less than an hour from the park entrance, and is very reasonably priced. I am definitely coming back.

This is the best campsite for beauty and temperature and quality. We didn’t realize that there was no water anywhere in this campground however... a family leaving gave us their water and we were extremely grateful. The road to the campsite was also a bit terrifying -we being from Minnesota where gravel roads are smooth and wide 🙃... oh, and water is plentiful. Honestly the best campsite for us, though. Temps in Moab were in the 100’s, temps in the campground were in the 70’s. We felt blessed. Loved the trails and the cows!
We saw Arches and Canyonlands in the morning and were in the campground by the afternoon.
Loved it.

Absolutely beautiful!!!!! I can’t express how amazing this place was! Surrounded by beautiful birch trees and the trails and lake were also very stunning.

Be prepared to go on gravel road for several miles. Be on the lookout for hundreds of cows that wander the area and roads. The lake is as advertised. It competes with nearby national parks in beauty.

It was definitely off the beaten path, up a mostly dirt road in the mountains. The campsite itself was very pretty, quiet and the temperature was much cooler than the Moab area.
