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.

The water has been shut off for two years now and it sounds like it will be another year until they get it back up. They brought in portable outhouses, not fun. Sorry, it is usually a good place for a visit but not until they get some things fixed.

Due to fire and flooding, there were no services at the campground. Only porta johns. Hiking trails were closed (also due to flooding). The beach part of the lake wasn't a great place to hang out - the ground was mushy mud.

There was no water. The restrooms were all out of order. The portable toilets were full and needed to be dumped. I had three campsites reserved and one of them was canceled. The fishing was terrible because there were very few fish in the lake.

I realize the flood that washed out the water system was an act of nature. However, the porta potties were full and not maintained. If work is contracted out they should fulfill the contract. The lake conditions were good and we still had a good time.

We had a good time despite the fact that the campground has NO flushing toilets or water. Aparently there was a flash flood last season that destroyed the infrastructure. We were bringing friends here that are newer to camping and it was a surprise to have to use porta potties and go buy water. Luckily we had brought a lot of water with us but we had planned to make full use of the water to wash dishes etc and they really need to update that the campground has no water at all. The portapotties were also very full probabaly dangerously full and very close to each campsite. On the last night the campsite smelled terrible because of them. I wish the potties were away from the campsites. Someone finally came to empty them and they blocked the campground road for 30 min while they emptied them on the day we left.

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.
