Highlights of this campsite are walkable access to sweet Warner Lake and trails including Mountain View hike with amazing views overlooking Canyonlands and Moab. Early September 2022 was too early for the aspens to be golden, but fields of sunflowers were putting on a show in the meantime.

Incredible location with access to so much to see and do. The lake is on the smaller side for those interested in paddleboards and such. The bathrooms are a decent walk from the cabin but it has everything else you need. The windows and doors show the most wear and tear in the building but that is to be expected from something as old as this. Ran into to very little issues with the power with the exception of the morning after a very cloudy day since this runs on solar. As everyone else says, make sure to bring your own water but the little cabin has pretty much all the other basics. No fires unfortunately while we were there due to dry conditions as that is the one thing that would have made it absolutely perfect. You're about 45 minutes from Moab. Cell service was decent for some phones but could be very sporadic.

Campground was clean and host was very attentive. Beautiful scenery and nice private campsites. Cold at night so be prepared.

Kind of hard to get to, especially the last couple miles, but one of the coolest campgrounds around. Incredible views of the canyonlands and the most incredible stand of aspens I've ever seen. Plus, if you are mountain biking, you can pedal out of camp and right down Hazard County to Porcupine UPS and LPS and to the city of Moab.
BTW: Coyote Shuttle can drive you back to camp in the afternoon, if you arrange it with them. So, morning ride from camp down the mountain, and a shuttle back to camp in the afternoon. The best kind of MTB day ever.

Hard to get to at night, as there are steep dirt roads, but we made it and it is worth the drive, beautiful and quiet. No potable water.

This is a lovely spot and treasured by locals and visitors alike. We were there in high winds and the cabin, built in the 1930's was "solid". Be sure to bring twin sheet to cover the mattresses. Bunkbeds need to be updated, especially top bunk to meet code (no guard rail.) There was a little mouse activity and small black widow spiders. There is no camp host this year so do a "little extra" when you depart and let's all take care of this special place.

I hesitate a little to write this but only because I don't want to encourage the whole world to visit this spot. But Warner Lake Campground is the most beautiful campground Ive ever been to. Its not really close to Moab if you want to be in Moab - but if you don't mind driving or don't care about Moab it is 20-30 degrees cooler up there and the sites are simply pristine. The price you pay if a long washboard dirt road from the LaSal Mtn loop. But I think its well worth the price.

ATTENTION: For 2024 and 2025 access to the Warner Lake Campground will be affected by road construction in San Juan County. Please access the Campground via the River Road or Sand Flats Road (See below.) The paved route is longer but paved up to the Warner Lake CG turn off while the dirt route is shorter but on a rougher dirt road which is accessible to 2WD vehicles but AED or 4WD is recommended.
Paved Route (Official Detour Route): From Moab head north on Highway 191 to the junction of Highway 128, (aka the River Road.) Turn right (East) and continue for about 15 miles until you get to the Castleton/Gateway Road. Turn Right (South) on the Castleton/Gateway Road and continue straight for about 10 miles to the junciton of the La Sal Loop Road. Turn Right (South) again and continue straight for another 10 or so miles until you reach the turn off for Warner Lake CG. Turn left (ENE) and drive on a washboarded gravel road to the campground.
Dirt Road Route: From Moab, head south on Highway 191. When you hit the stoplight of 4th East, turn left (North). Drive about .75 miles to Mill Creek Road and turn right (East). Continue to the next Stop Sign at the junction of Sand Flats Road. Stay straight and stay on Sand Flats Road for about 1.5 miles to the Entrance Station at Sand Flats Recreation Area. YOU DO NOT NEED TO PAY AN ENTRY FEE IF YOU ARE HEADED UP TO THE FOREST SERVICE OR THE CAMPGROUND--TELL THEM YOU ARE HEADED UP TO WARNER LAKE CG. Continue on Sand Flats Road for about 18 miles until you get to the La Sal Loop road junction. Turn Right (South) for about 2.5 miles until you get to the Warner Lake Turn off and turn left on to the washboarded gravel road and drive about 5 miles to the Campground. This road is rocky, heavily washboarded, and rough, high clearance, 4WD is recommended.
Construction Closure Route: From Moab, the fastest access (about 1 hour) to Warner Lake Campground is by driving south on Highway 191. Drive 7.8 miles south of Moab and turn east (left) onto Old Airport Road (sign has arrow to La Sal Loop Road, National Forest Access). Turn south (right) at the T-intersection with the Spanish Valley Drive/La Sal Mountain Loop Road (sign has arrows pointing to La Sal Mtn. Loop Rd and Ken's Lake). Continue 13.5 miles to the Warner Lake turnoff. Turn east (right) and drive 5 miles to the campground and cabin on this gravel road. THIS IS ONLY OPEN before 0830, after 1730 hours (5:30 pm) and on weekends.
Please be aware the some GPS or driving apps are giving the wrong information and directing people on 4WD roads or to locked gates. Make sure your directions are accurate before following them--when in doubt look for Forest Service directional signs.
