"It had 2 toilet buildings that were cleaned and stocked daily by DNR, 4 horseshoe pits, the giant fire pit, a dumpster, and was in walking distance to the ponds and river."
"We got a walk-in camping spot tat was just a few miles from the fifth waters trail entrance, the bathroom was clean, and the parking lot was nice and easy to get in and out of with large RVs parked everywhere"

"Almost every spot along the river was taken, but once you were in your camp you could hardly tell neighbors were around."
$60 / night
"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."
"WOW - if you are looking for a quiet and comfortable spot, go to Moon Lake, Utah in Ashley National Park."
$25 - $200 / night
"I was glad I had a back-in site around the edge of the loop. I loved the view."
"Mountain View Campground is above the lake, but a path leads down to the boat ramp and beach. Some bring boats and go fishing for brown trout, walleye, bass and yellow perch."

"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."
"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. "
"From here we set off on the Swift Creek trail that ascends quickly. the Yellowstone trail however goes through a dense tunnel of forest for quite a few miles."
$15 - $25 / night
"All of the campsites are within walking distance to the water. Finding level ground is somewhat challenging. We drove to the improved camping area and pay for shower use."
"Right next to starvation lake, plenty of mature trees , great view , super nice staffs , right next to Utah 40 but hardly hear any noise . 5 min away from town."
"There is a nice dog walk/path with a great view of the reservoir at the end of the path. When we were there it was very windy and cold so our time outside was limited."

"Moon Lake is a hidden gem in the high Uinta Mountains. We were in group site B. Lots of places to put tents and campers. Walking path to the lake. Lots of hiking trails. "
"The lake is gorgeous and the camp ground is clean. The campground is paved and has real toilets! We love to hike, fish and even horseback ride here."
ScoutNot a level spot. to be found. Good ,scenery but overall not a great stay
TravelerThis is a very large area where there may be a hundred people camping but there's still plenty of room for 100 more. It's open and yet the forest is right next to you. There are Forest roads that go up into the mountains that are great
GuideI’ve camped here a couple times and I absolutely love it. You’ll find the lake pretty soon after you’ve driven the gravel road for a few minutes where you can fish or just hang out. If you drive further up, you’ll find a nice variety of camping spots. My favorites are up towards the top. From what I’ve seen and experienced, most of not all spots are accessible by truck/suv/towing a trailer. My favorite part of this spot is the beautiful views and the breathtaking sunsets. And of course the stars. If you need food/supplies on the way or during your trip, Kamas is just a short drive out of camp and everything you need is in town.
GuideLake is stunning with camping sites all the way around the lake & most are right on the water. 4x4 & high clearance is a must to access this area. Gets crowded on the weekends but I’ve never seen more than 2 spots taken on the week days.
GuideGorgeous spots for dispersed camping- forest service fee area. Some of the spots have picnic tables, & there is one vault toilet toward the top. Gorgeous open meadows, no road noise. Dirt road all the way up ( about 10-15 mins off mirror lake highway ) definitely accessible for all vehicles as the dirt road is nice & even.
GuideDirt road to drive into the campground. Don’t need high clearance or 4x4 but you do have to drive over some rocks. Campground is a fee through the forest service- $20 per week, $10 for 3 days. Because it’s right off mirror lake highway, you can definitely hear all of the road noise. They are also doing some sort of construction right next to the campground so we woke up a few times to big trucks backing up.
GuideGreat pull in spot with decent size fire pit, right next to a beautiful little lake, or large pond with Lilly pads. Secluded as there aren’t really camping spots right next door, definitely more spots as you go farther up the road. You will definitely need 4X4 to access this area, but the trail is pretty easy.
ScoutHighly recommend. Campsites are about 30 bucks right now. They include a good spot for tent, table, and a fire pit. No showers however. But spectacular view of the lake which you can put paddle boards and kayaks in. A moose did come through our campsite so be aware of wildlife. Incredibly friendly however.
GuideI drove in a short way to where the road turns North with a meadow on your right and forest on your left and sites along the way. I grabbed a big open site at .7 miles where the satellite view seems to show buildings or RVs here but all was clear for me except for one large fire ring. Nice and shady in the afternoon but will be sunny in the morning. Very pleased with the short trek from Vernal. I still have decent AT&T cell service to post this review. A number of cows came by for a visit in the morning. They were interested in the fire ring for some reason. They didn't bring any pies.
