Warning
GeneralWe are unable to provide water at Moon Lake Campground, Moon Lake Group Site and the Moon Lake Guard Station for the 2026 season.

What Guests Are Saying
Moon Lake Campground is praised for its beautiful scenery, spacious sites, and friendly staff, making it a great spot for outdoor activities and relaxation. However, it has faced ongoing issues with its water supply, resulting in no running water and reliance on porta potties, which some found to be poorly maintained. Visitors recommend checking for events at nearby facilities to avoid noise disturbances and suggest that improvements are needed for the campground to reach its full potential.

2 years without water available and no reduction in price, not sure if it will be fixed this summer.

The campsite itself was pretty good. It was very close to our neighbor, but it is it is. Biggest issue were the wasps. Any time we had food out wasps would swarm our site. My son actually got stung by one so that was kinda annoying. There was also a wedding going on at the cabins. The issue was that curfew is supposed to be 10 and their party went well passed 11. I understand it's a wedding and all, but it was just kinda annoying that we had the involuntary enjoyment of listening to Dance Monkey Dance while we were trying to sleep. Lastly, the water spigot was turned off so I couldn't wash my gear or anything before leaving. Overall, I still loved the campsite and recommend it to anyone looking for a good location. But there were still some things that were a bit annoying.

PLEASE Check when booking this camp site!
You need to call moonlake resort next to this campsite to make sure there is not an event going there. They had a wedding event when we stayed. And there was a booming DJ microphone and loud music all through the campsite and forest. Luckily, the lady at moonlake resort and the lady at moonlake group campground did their
very best to get to get the music turned down as quickly as they could. You could still hear the music through the weekend but it was much better after they
did that. But that is not what we expected and not what we paid for.....To go camping in a quiet forest and have all that noise &
music all weekend.
Recreation.gov also needs to change the
dates that they close campsites.There are lots of people who want to go camping
later in the season towards the end of
September, up to the first week of October where there are not tons of kids and noise
and not just fit people into a box that
people only travel during the summer.It's
unfair that they don't keep the campsites
open longer for other people who want to
enjoy more quiet periods and after kids are back in school. This is a wonderful, and amazing camp site but they have issues they need to resolve.

Policies & Rules
Cancellation policy
- Reservation fees are non-refundable. For campsites, cabins, lookouts, yurts, group sites, and similar stays, we charge a reservation service fee of $8.
- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.
- Late cancellation rules differ by stay type.
- Individual campsites: cancelling after 12:00am local time the day before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- Cabins, lookouts, and yurts: cancelling less than 14 days before arrival usually means a $10 cancellation fee plus forfeiting the first night's fee.
- One-night reservations: a late cancellation usually forfeits the full amount paid, up to the total original reservation cost.
- Modifications are allowed before the cut-off window, but fees depend on the change. Changing to dates completely outside the original reservation dates may trigger a $10 change fee. Extending or shortening a stay that still includes original dates usually has no change fee, though refunds may depend on timing and facility rules. Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
- Early departures may or may not be refunded. At certain facilities, partial refunds may be possible if staff can mark the site available for other visitors. No refund is given for a night if the early departure is requested after that day's check-out time.
- Security deposits are separate. Security deposits may be refunded to the original payment method if the facility is left in acceptable condition, as determined by the property.
