About
Warner Lake Campground is located high in the La Sal Mountains at an elevation of 9,400 feet, adjacent to scenic Warner Lake. The campground is surrounded by dense aspen forests that provide partial shade and spectacular autumn colors. With 19 individual campsites, a group area accommodating up to 50 people, and a small cabin that sleeps four, the campground offers a range of camping options. Each site includes a picnic table and campfire ring. The lake offers excellent rainbow trout fishing opportunities, and visitors can enjoy canoeing and kayaking (no powerboats allowed). An extensive trail system surrounds Warner Lake, with a trailhead located directly in the campground. Popular trails include the Trans-Mountain Trail, Miners Basin Trail, Warner Lake-Oowah Lake Trail, Burro Pass Trail, and Dry Fork-Beaver Basin Trail. Views of the surrounding La Sal Mountain peaks are stunning, with 11,634-foot Haystack Mountain visible from several campsites. Located about 30 miles from Moab (approximately one hour drive on mountainous gravel roads), the campground offers a high-elevation retreat with access to Arches and Canyonlands National Parks for day trips. Campers should note that no potable water is available and must bring all necessary water supplies. The access road is heavily washboarded gravel requiring careful driving.
Directions
From Moab, drive south on US 191 and turn left onto Old Airport Road (signed for La Sal Loop Road). Turn right at the T-intersection with Spanish Valley Drive/La Sal Mountain Loop Road. Continue 13.5 miles to the Warner Lake turnoff, turn right, and drive 5 miles on gravel road to the campground. High clearance recommended. Road construction detours may be in effect; check with the Moab Ranger District for current access routes.
