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.

Lovely campsite, we had a great time, bathrooms were nice and clean, and beautiful walks and fishing spots. The only surprise we had was turning up and discovering the raised area for the tent to be pitched, was very small at 10x10, and our tent did not fit. Nowhere in our booking for 6 people, were there any size references on sites. We were very lucky there was an open site up the hill which had a 12x14 tent site we could use instead. Could have been dire if it wasn’t available, as we had traveled 3 hours to get there. But it all ended well and the ranger staff were very nice. Would definitely go back again.

Spent 3 nights here and in this spot. Loved every second of it. You get some early morning sunshine and the mid afternoon doesn’t have much shade but the super tall pines surrounding you give great cover.
Excellent, large picnic table (cement) was great and located next to a nice fire pit. The fire pit also has a flip over grate to cook on.
This site has a nice tent pad behind your RV too. Tons of squirrels and a few deer wandering your campsite. They appear well fed and happy. Say hello to “Sammy the Squirrel” if you see him (our son named him.)
The site was easy to back in to and located near fresh water tap and the trash / restrooms. But not close enough to smell either. Probably the nicest campground restrooms we’ve found. There IS a light on the back of the restrooms that a) serves no purpose and b) shines a slight bit in to your spot, reducing “dark sky” viewing.
Also to note, this site is the furthest from the lake but it’s a simple 2 minute drive down to the beach with your water toys.
Bugs were weird and there were some biting flies and some no-seeums. They weren’t horrible but noticeable.
Only detractor (for us) was the fire pit and table were on the opposite side of our trailer door. Backing in, these amenities are on the driver side.

We love this campground. The Lake is fantastic and great for the whole family, with kayaking, boating, fishing and playing on the beach. The campground was nice and peaceful, with deer wandering through the sites. It rained a little each day but always cleared up by late afternoon.

- Standard cancellations usually have a $10 cancellation fee. Customers can generally cancel before the check-in date online.

- 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.

- 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.

Switching to the same type of campsite for the same dates usually has no change fee, but price differences are charged or refunded.
