This campground has many spots! They were all clean and convenient. If you stay on the northern side of the campground, expect to hear cars and trucks through the night. I stayed in spot 31 which was spacious and right next to a little stream. The lake is close by and accessible by a trail in between two campsites. I heard a pack of wolves howling right around sunset but seemed a decent distance away. Definitely chilly at night time, but that’s expected this time of year. Highly recommended :)
Traveler
The road to get here can be interesting if you’ve never been. I wasn’t expecting a dirt road right next to the river. You don’t need any special vehicle though and as soon as you get to the resort, it is GORGEOUS. They have a couple playgrounds (one is better than the other) and lots of open grass area. The swimming pond was a great place for my kids to play. I randomly tried this resort and it will definitely be one I go to again.
Guide
We took a 21’ bumper pull to a double RV site and had a super great time. Site 46 on loop B is so good, double RV spot, right by the bathroom, tons of extra room for a tent if you want one
Toilets flush! Honestly one of the best bathrooms I’ve seen.
The northern part of loop B is really close to the dock if you’ve got a boat.
We had a couple prairie dogs and chipmunks visit our site. Didn’t bother us, still wary of humans, but they were fun to watch
Scout
Yes this is my own spot but my family and used it for 2 years before offering it to the public. We’ve made tons of upgrades this year and have loved going out there every time.
Traveler
We stayed here during Memorial Day weekend 2023, it was a complete wash out but totally worth it. We had reserved a site in the middle of the campground and didn't like the lack of privacy or proximity to the bathroom, so we ended up moving to site 25 which was FCFC. That site was perfect. It was large and the river ran right behind it. The bathroom was a bit of walk though.
There was no hosts, so we did have to drive a bit to get firewood, but other than that we really liked the camp ground.
The bathrooms were kind of gross and smelly, but not the worst I've seen.
Ranger
We stayed for 7 nights (the limit) in August of 2023. It's all paved, asphalt road and concrete pad for picnic table. Very beautiful setting with the large lake and mountains surrounding. Fishing-yes! Hand powered boating, hiking trails and lots of other lakes to explore.
There no water available but you can fill your RV, Trailer or whatever at the entrance to the Lost Creek CG which is about 3 miles east on Hwy 150. No Dump station, nearest being in Kamas.
Seems to be a popular place for local (SLC) families to gather. Family friendly so lots of kids. Quiet time 10PM to 6AM.
Traveler
Nine Mile Ranch is a great campground outside of Wellington, UT and a good base camp to check out Nine Mile Canyon. They have historic cabins they have used for camping cabins, RV and tent sites. Bathrooms and showers were very clean. Super friendly and knowledgeable camp host. I would definitely stay again!
GuideI picked this campground based on its proximity to the Crystal Lake trailhead, hoping that it would be quieter than Washington Lake since it didn't have RV hookups, and it did not disappoint! There were only a few other occupied sites at the time that I went (midweek, before Labor Day), many of the sites were along the creek in a beautiful alpine meadow. The pit toilet was clean, and since I had a water filter, I could pull straight from the creek at my campsite rather than going to the spigot at the entrance.
There is a dirt parking lot for lake access just across from the campground entrance, and the campground is a short <2 mile drive to the Crystal Lake trailhead where there are many options for day hikes. I would 100% stay here again!
Traveler
We showed up Labor Day weekend. Almost every spot along the river was taken, but once you were in your camp you could hardly tell neighbors were around. We didn’t fish, but saw a couple of fly fishers catch 4 trout right in front of us.
ScoutMy family and I love camping and have been building our camping arsenal and experience. This campsite gave us a good time and also helped us realized what we needed to add to our “Need to Buy List: Camping Edition.”
First, the Pros of the visit.
Now the Cons.
Overall, it was not a bad campsite! I think our experience wasn’t the best but that’s mainly due our unpreparedness and lack of experience. There’s many things to do in Fruitland area and also places where you can enjoy the peace and quiet! I hope our learning experience can benefit anyone interested in go to this campsite! Happy camping!
ScoutGreat camp site with plenty of things to do in the area! Daniel and Nate were great hosts and the spot was easy to find and placed in a surprisingly convenient location! Was a vibe FORSURE, 10/10!
Scout
Great spot for fishing but not much else. The sites are okay but not a lot of daytime shade. The trail around the lake is okay but has several large fallen rocks in the way and has a very steep hill to continue around it. Overall, it’s okay.

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.
Traveler
Don't give this place your money. You can't even tent camp here for less than 55.00 per night. Just go another 8-9 miles down the highway to Steinaker where tent camping is 20.00 and RV sites with full hookups are around 35.00.
TravelerThe scenery was lovely. Able to pull into the tent site with our Ford E150 no problems, basically no one else in the tent portion of the site (mostly in the RV section). Every site has a fire pit and a picnic table and chairs. Bathrooms were clean, water was hot.
RangerThis 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.
GuidePretty typical KOA. Bathhouses were clean but a bit worn. They were, however very adequate for the size of the camp. WiFi was better than usual. Some shade. We were in an overflow site with dirt pad but most sites seemed to be gravel. Bring earplugs, lots of road noise at least in the front of the park. If you want great steaks to grill try Unitah meats just down the road.
LegendThis campground is only a few blocks from downtown Vernal, but out of town enough for a rural feel. Some highway noise, but quiets down by nightfall. This campground had a good feel to it IMO. Not super large, but almost all the sites were pull through. I requested a spot by the bathroom/shower building & we got a patio site. Very nice site with a propane grill provided.
There are 3 bathroom/showers in the campground. One in the office building, one by the pool & one by the tent section. Bathrooms were clean. I used the laundry room without issues.
They had a couple of tipis, a woody tent (don't know what that is). 15 tent sites & cabins. The RV sites were basic KOA.- in a row & kind of close. We had no issues with WIFI. Staff was courteous& they had a lot of area information. I especially liked the day trips that were numbered. We camped at Vernal/ Dinosaurland KOA Holiday in a Travel Trailer.
ScoutI drove out here cuz this app has it under free it’s not and there is no where t camp if you don’t pay, also there is no firewood if you don’t pay but it’s a cute little spot and right by a lake was cool
GuideThe 9 mile Canyon Ranch has a little bit of everything. RV spots, tent camping, cabins. There are clean bathrooms and showers for $3. You can hammock in some spots. Best to call in ahead so they get you a best part with some of the trees.
Beautiful area. No service but there is Wi-Fi at the house. The lady there was SUPER nice and answered all my questions and was very willing to help and make sure I had a good stay.
I slept in my Bronco but my spot had a campfire and picnic table. Enjoyed my stay.
Ranger
This is a very nice small full hookups campground! Spot are small. But there are a few larger 5th wheel trails here. Michelle and her husband are very friendly and easy to talk with. Was open by her parents I think she said in 1956. She grew up here. Now runs it. Working on upkeep and improvements. Spots leavel to within and inch or two. The trains run 75 yards from camp. And can hear the highway to the west. But blue Cut is Located on east side of a canyon so cliff wall reflects sound. So if your a person who has to wear ear plugs when camping in the back country of a national forest, this is not for you! Have enjoyed our two day stay here at Blue Cut RV Park and will stop in when passing through this part of country.
RangerFun campground with plenty of spaces near Moon Lake. There are toilets, drinking water, fire pits, and even a lodge where you can buy supplies or rent a boat for the lake.
GuideLet me tell you about one of the best hid secrets, It's this place! It seems to have started out as a fishing spot at the reservoir and expanded into a campground many years ago. The camp host Stevie was amazing. I have never seen a campground so well-cared-for. I was also there for a week on my own and she always checked in on me personally. Not only was she knowledgable but she really kept a tight ship. We stayed many, many weekends over the summer and enjoyed wildlife like chipmunks, birds, owls, hawks, ground squirrels, rabbits, a bobcat, raccoons, sheep, moose, deer and so much more. There are 2 porcupines that actually became camp mascot's named Bruce and Dave. They meant no harm to anyone but wandered campground to campground giving campers a start! Totally awesome. And let's not forget the un-official camp host who helped Stevie, her dog, Arizona. <3 Our dogs all got along very well. We all became great friends. There is hiking there, swimming, fishing and lots of people paddle board. The Spring water was better drinking water than what I have at home and I miss it and the view of the stars. There were wild rasberries and people even left painted rocks to commemorate their visits there. The campground was in process of having new tables and pits put in. Just beautiful and made memories there to last a lifetime. If you guys don't have Stevie back, I won't know what to do!!
Guide8800 ft of elevation—escape the heat. Great fishing. Site 5 is my favorite, just a short walk to the reservoir
TravelerGreat views of steep cliffs on Lighting Ridge.
LegendThe Campground is set among pine trees, wildflowers, and a prestine lake. Stayed in mid August and the weather was perfect. Mid 70's during the day and low 40's at night. She 29 was a great spot. Took a little maneuvering to get our 24' TT in with the very narrow causeway and creek beds on both sides, but it was worth it. I didn't see any camp host. The Campground was not crowded due to mid week camping. The hike down to the lake is beautiful and well worth it. Even though the water level is quite low, it still is majestic. At a little over 10k foot elevation, keeping hydrated is key. Highly recommend this Campground.
Scout
You must have high-clearance 4WD to get to these sites. Also like one of the other reviewers states, this does not mean that you’ll be one of few campers at the lake. We found a beautiful campsite that was secluded and settled in. Then we learned that a trail encircles the lake and goes through all of the campsites. Lots of folks walking on the trail (and thus through our “secluded” site) including with off leash dogs. We also had someone come camp right on top of us, even though we could see open spots across the lake. We could hear partiers across the lake but they were far away and they settled down after it got dark. Everyone cleared out after Sunday and we had the lake practically to ourselves. The lake was beautiful and if you’re going for the views and don’t mind other people around, you won’t be disappointed. Or maybe just go during the week when few people are present. The poor air quality in the valley from the Oregon wild fires probably also made this spot more popular. Everyone we talked to came in from Salt Lake City for the weekend.
