The lake was beautiful and calm, bathrooms were clean, and the camp host was friendly. Walking from our car to our campsite was quick and easy. The views! Gorgeous! Most of the campsites were vacant while we were there (June 8-13). We didn’t take our kayak out because it was cold and rainy most of the time but the lake looks great for kayaking! Some things to note - fire wood was unavailable to purchase but we lucked out and were able to scavenge some from vacant campsites. It was quite loud on the weekend because of people partying at the lodge. Our fist night a large group of women and children were camping and they got very drunk and screamed at each other all night and their kids were peeing on the trees next to the campsite. They let their dog roam around off leash and didn’t clean up after it. The camp host is off site so no one official to get them to behave. At least it was only one night. Next time we will plan a night to eat in the restaurant at the lodge. No cell service.

It is a beautiful well-maintained campground. We did experience a tremendous storm that blew through, but we were safe. Beautiful views, clean vault toilets, great fishing! It is a little tough having to carry in your equipment from the parking lot to the tent pad, so bring a wagon or cart.

The campsites are well maintained and maintenance / volunteer are excellent. There was a really loud group one night - morning lasting till 1:30 or 2:00 am. This was a really disappointing experience.

Clean, perfect location, and great views.

What a great little campground. The parking area is just a short walk to all of the tent sites. There are 2 areas for water and just a short walk to the VERY clean bathrooms. The only draw back was the cabins below at the lodge and their dogs. There are signs every where saying dogs must be on a leash at all times. However, the cabin people must of not seen these because we had dogs in the camp site at all times. We left our furry friends at home only to end up having to deal with other people's dogs. Other than that, this campsite is definitely worth it. The view of the lake is absolutely beautiful.

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!

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.

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.

@MichelleB940 · Camped on Jun 22, 2020 at Campsite #3

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

@JenniferK113 · Camped on Sep 13, 2019 at Campsite #4

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.

@MaryB757 · Camped on Aug 22, 2019 at Campsite #1

Lovely View.

@CathleenA484 · Camped on Jul 26, 2019 at Campsite #4

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
