I hadn't been to Moon Lake in at least 10 years, so I was very excited after booking a campground for July 2019. Upon arrival a flood of memories came back to me & it was wonderful. The lake itself is gorgeous & provides a beautiful scenic centerpiece & background for your camping experience. The campground itself is maintained well with dozens of ground squirrels to provide endless entertainment. There were also families of deer that would pass by our site throughout the day, which was splendid. Hiking around the lake is amazing & definitely a must-do. The beach on the south side of the lake is also great for day activities. 10/10, Moon Lake!

Beautiful spot. Planned to stay a week. Had to leave after two nights because of the 24 hours of constant generator noise. Unbearable at best. We won't be back.

Nice campground, Beautiful lake. There are a lot of generators running constantly throughout the day and in the night too. Very busy campground. Took a walk along the beach and into the mountains.

This is my favorite place on earth! I love everything about Moonlake except the upgrades they did. I can't believe they tore down the old bathroom. They replaced a beautiful rock building with a plain generic building. Paving the campground made it look awful. The new bridge they put in looks awful. Please go back to the rustic look the lake had. The dirt roads were great for a campground. They also took out the hookups around the campground to hook up to get water and only have one now. so, if we run out of water, we have to hook up the trailer, go fill water and then get the trailer leveled again. Please add more spouts! Sounds like a lot of complaints.... but i love this lake and the mountains surrounding it.
