Warner Lake Campground & Cabin

Cooler temperatures at elevation provide relief from Moab's desert heat at this Forest Service campground in the La Sal Mountains. Warner Lake Campground sits along a mountain loop road, with 20 sites offering picnic tables and permanent bear boxes among the aspen and pine trees. Recent road construction on weekdays has complicated access, making the drive up more challenging for campers targeting the first-come, first-served sites.

The campground serves as a base for exploring mountain trails that provide views down to the national parks below. Mule deer frequent the area, and sites are positioned relatively close together within the loop. Campers seeking more space often continue to dispersed camping options along the access road. The season runs from early June through mid-September when snow typically closes mountain access.
