Warning 1 Alert is In Effect

There is 1 alert for this campground. Camp safely!

We are unable to provide water at Moon Lake Campground, Moon Lake Group Site and the Moon Lake Guard Station for the 2025 season. Due to debris flow damage during the summer of 2023, we are installing a new well system to replace the springs that were damaged. This project is currently underway, but we do not expect it to be completed this season. We apologize for any inconvenience and please reach out if you have any questions.

Beautiful Lake, Clean/Modern Campground

Moon Lake Campground is a clean and modern campground on the shores of a beautiful high mountain lake. The spots can be a little close together, but they are well developed. The bathrooms are modern for a national forest campground with running water, electricity, flushing toilets and ventilation fans. The camp host did an excellent job of daily cleaning and stocking of the campground. Just feet outside the campground is a private resort with rustic cabins and a lodge. The lodge store provides basic necessities in the event you forgot something, as well as an ice cream bar with sundaes and soda on tap. The lodge provides rentals of kayaks and small fishing boats. It even has a taco truck out front. All around, our family ranks Moon Lake near the top of our favorite camping spots.

Secluded Campground

This was a great place to get away from the normal day to day.  The lake is pretty low due to the drought, but we had a great time enjoying the water from the shore.  We brought kayaks and paddleboards and the water was perfect.  The campground was very clean including the bathrooms.  We saw several deer throughout the day.  There are a few hiking trails and they offer horse rides as well.  The Moon Lake Lodge has some cabins that you can stay in and they have a nice little store that has some essentials there including ice cream.  Lots of shade and trees for hammocks.  The bugs were pretty bad.  Gnats that would bite and leave some pretty big welts.  Bring plenty of bug spray.

Family tradition

My family has been going here every year in the summer for the last 30 years, we love to rent a boat and go fishing(we use the little gold and silver jakes fish hooks) and then we serve them up over the campfire. Great place to camp!

Camp along a long lake

This area is more green than I usually expect from Utah. Great kayaking and some moderate/long hikes on site. We hired horses to explore the area, highly recommended. It’s close to lots of other state and national lands too, so it’d make a good base camp. Some tent sites are isolated, many are fairly wooded. Everything is basic and clean, as we expect from national facilities like this.
