If you're looking for the perfect destination for a family camping trip, it doesn't get better than Moon Lake. I would highly recommend Moon Lake Resort to anyone looking for an awesome, relaxing, and adventurous camping vacation. It is very enjoyable for people of all ages. It is a great way to spend time together, appreciate nature, and take a break from technology (no cell phone service or internet).
Moon Lake Resort ran by a couple named Bill and Julie. They have cabins available for rent, campgrounds for tents, or campgrounds for RV's. There are fishing boats, peddle boats, kayaks and canoes available for rent as well. The prices are very reasonable and the service from Bill, Julie, and their other employees is amazing. They're all extremely friendly, personal, and helpful and it seems that they really care about your experience and doing all that they can to help make it the best possible.
There is also a small convenience store and they sell everything that you may have forgotten. They have fishing gear (including fishing licenses), food and treats, first aid, souvenirs, and toys for kids. Outside of the lodge, there is a basketball court, beach volleyball net, and horseshoe pit. The lake is a short walk down from the lodge. The lake is breath-takingly beautiful and you won't mind spending a lot of time there on the beach. All the campers are usually very respectful and leave everything as they found it. Moon Lake is very clean and nature is left how it should be.
The cabins are very rustic and old and you would not exactly use the word "nice" to describe them, but they are perfect for camping: Real camping, not "luxurious" camping. Every cabin has a front porch which is perfect for drinking your morning coffee and breathing the fresh morning air. Each cabin also has a cast iron fire pit with four logs around it to sit on. Relaxing by the fire and gazing at the millions of bright stars, is a great way to end an adventurous day.
Keep your eyes open at all times because wildlife is all over. Often you'll see deer walking right through the camp grounds! Fishing at Moon Lake is a blast and one of the best ways to experience wildlife up close. Moon Lake has great fishing and you'll be reeling in fish right and left. Fish aren't the only wildlife at the lake though, deer, bears, and mountain goat come down to the lake to drink the cold water.
Moon Lake Resort's saying is "Out of this world, but still in Utah!" It truly is that. The scenery and accommodations are out of this world. Even though there are other campers around, you don't notice them and still feel very secluded. The peace is never disturbed, except by the occasional woodpecker. Moon Lake is an amazing place to go experience forest nature without completely leaving civilization. read more
