Moon Lake Group Campground
Closed for the season. The campground typically operates from late May through early September. For the 2026 season, potable water is not available due to debris flow damage from summer 2023; a new water system is being installed but is not expected to be completed this year. Campers must bring their own water.

Lodgepole pines and aspens provide partial shade throughout the sites. The area offers excellent recreation opportunities including fishing for rainbow and cutthroat trout, kokanee salmon, and splake. Canoes and motorboats are welcome on the lake. Lake Fork Trail and Brown Duck Mountain Loop begin nearby, providing access to the High Uintas Wilderness with its numerous alpine lakes and backcountry fishing. Moon Lake Resort is adjacent, offering limited supplies, groceries, boat rentals, and firewood for purchase.
