Our family loved it here perfect spot to enjoy!

This is not a good site for campers. We had our trailer fully lifted and still could not level it. Tent only.

Other than heat our experience was great. Basically had the camp ground to ourselves. Fishing was slowbecause of the heat.

Great location and easy to find. The only issue is that campsite #4 is extremely close. If you are choosing multiple sites for your group, pick these two. If you are only choosing this site, just be aware you may be 20 - 25 feet from your neighbors. The Warm Lake Lodge is right accross the street and they are very accomodating with letting you have access to the lake, fresh water (make sure you ask), and a full bar. Would definitely stay here again.

We fit two good sized trailers here. Nice double site. Made for a good base to explore the area.

Camp host was wonderful and bathrooms were very clean!
@AlexaJ582FCC67 · Camped on Jul 27, 2023 at Campsite #4
We had site 4 reserved, but it had zero shade coverage so we ended up switching to site 2 which was much better. Good location, short walk to the bathroom and to the lodge across the way. We had to drive to get to good beach access, but besides that it was a great campground. Hosts were very nice. Fair amount of mosquitoes around, though weve had worse. Warm lake is always beautiful.

Perfect little forest service camp. Its right close to a lodge if you need supplies.
@MelC9103071 · Camped on Jul 4, 2023 at Campsite #10
amp site was clean, the restroom was clean and the camp hosts were fantistic
@SherrieB8CCAE5 · Camped on May 20, 2023 at Campsite #9
Wonderful! Camp hosts were very nice and helpful. A+++++
@KieranW9387754 · Camped on Jul 31, 2022 at Campsite #7
Fun location with no other campers while we were there. Having the lodge nearby was handy for meals as needed.
@MarkM2223984 · Camped on Jul 20, 2022 at Campsite #6
Always a nice place
@SarahD2854125 · Camped on Jul 20, 2022 at Campsite #2
This is a great location. The hosts are obviously doing a great job. Will return.
@AshleyQ9763722 · Camped on Jul 12, 2022 at Campsite #10
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*.

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.
@PatriciaL40327 · Camped on Jul 26, 2021 at Campsite #10
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.

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

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.

Site #3 is awful! The sites are very close together, but far from the bathroom which is down a fairly steep hill. The camp host at the time we were there was a very grumpy old guy that wasn’t friendly at all. Gravel roads and not a lot of shade. The lodge is close, which was nice to be able to get things if needed. Shoreline is a much better loop, so stay there if you can. I would only stay at this campground again if I could be in sites 8, 9, or 10.

Thanks to all our Supporting Members

@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!!!
