The perfect spot for a romantic getaway for a couple looking for a lakeside retreat and a scenic walking trail through the pasture and woods. Enjoy the sunrise over the lake, shop in Tupelo or see Elvis' birthplace during the day, and enjoy a late evening walk around the property. It's the best decision you could make for your next trip!
Or, the best family trip you have every planned. See the look on your child's face when they catch a monster bass! Go with them to pet the horses, talk to the chickens, or hold the bunny rabbit. Moon Lake Retreat consists of 77 acres of woods, water, and pastureland. The lake is fully stocked with trophy bass, panfish, and catfish. If you walk on the south end of the property, you will see geese, cranes, and wood ducks. In the spring, you might even see a turkey strut!
It's the perfect family getaway.

This is a very peaceful stop with 30 amp power and water available. Well kept and very nice host. John communicated with us perfectly. The land and lake are beautiful.

This is one of our go to areas , no power at sites , water only , decently clean bath house . Lake access and hiking everywhere . Park rangers are quite nice here . We had a scout troop staying in the campground which I found odd as there are three specific scout areas . Beautiful fall colors
TravelerBeautiful property with great host they have a short trail that goes around the property and a beautiful lake to enjoy
GuideThis camping area is great for small to medium sided campers.
The newly renovated camping spots have a nice big table and fire pit.
The camp spot has a bunch of trails and a lake nearby. Firewood for sale on site as well as a small store with ice and snacks.
GuideOne of the nicest parks in West Tennessee but not for RV's over 26 feet. Great hiking.
LegendWe brought our small Aliner camper here to primitive camp for the first time and we couldn’t have picked a better place! The campsites have been redone in the last couple of years. Fresh gravel and wooden railing. The bathhouse is clean and easy access from all campsites.
There is a small playground close to the entrance. Lots of hiking trails and a fire tower that you can climb! We love the boardwalk trail! Unfortunately, this is our second time to visit the park and the visitors center has been closed both times. Kayaks and fishing boats available for rent.
You can’t go wrong tent camping or bringing a small RV here!
Bonus tip: This is a dark sky area, so come during the new moon phase for views of the Milky Way!
GuideNice level campsites with white rock. Primitive camping, no water or electric. Not big enough for RVs. Nice bathrooms, excellent showers.
Very pretty with lots of hiking trails and a lake for fishing.
GuideThe sites at this park are beautiful and it’s been one of my favorite camping spots for as long as I can remember. The new renovations make it top notch. If they added electric and water hookups, this place would be booked solid! Nice clean bath house. Very friendly staff and ranger. Great hiking! Canoe and kayak rentals available, but beware of stumps. Beautiful scenery and wildlife abounds. Planning to revisit in November or December and take advantage of a warmer than usual weekend.
ScoutFun place...nice camping facilities. You can rent a canoe or bring your own or hike all day! Go to the tower!
ScoutA few of the campsites are a little small for your needs, but there are several that have the perfect amount of space. Definitely will be coming back to this place.
Scout
ScoutWe did some backcountry hiking and camping here, hike was awesome, very peaceful and great for just getting away for a few days.
RangerThe boardwalks and observation deck were really fun for the kids, but most of the trails were too long for us so we didn’t see the whole park. The site was clean and basic, lots of trees for hammocking. Simple park but really beautiful for this area.
