Primitive camping is allowed in the Half Moon area along Pole Creek only.
Primitive camping sites exist along Pole Creek within the WHMA. The area provides access to adjacent U.S. Forest Service lands and little Half Moon Lake where additional recreational opportunities exist.
Beautiful lake, great lodge with live music and good cocktails. The campsites were nicely located with access points to a beach for (chilly!) morning swims. We stayed here for one night on our way up to the Grand Teton National Park, and while it was a wonderful campground, we were sadly disappointed with the occupants. There were just a few first-come sites, and it looked as if every site except for the tiny one we secured was reserved by two families in a bunch of RVs like they owned the place. They occupied sites with their camp chairs, boats, and toys for their own privacy, limiting access to anyone else who wanted to spend the night there. Glad we got the last spot, bummed we felt like we ruined their private party.
This was by far the best campground we have ever stayed in. And for only $7, you can't beat it. We stayed the last weekend of August and it was mid-70s so it wasn't busy at all. The campsites were well-kept and had plenty of shade with the towering willows and aspens. All the spots are a short walk to an incredible, sandy beach that made you feel like you're actually by the ocean. I will be back for sure! Campsite #8 was the best one there!
BEAUTIFUL place!!! The trail is very nice, the lake is wonderful, the campsites are great. Wonderful view
Small campground, 17 total sites, sites $7 but notice posted that rates may be raised to $12. About 1/2 sites can be reserved, rest are FF. No camp host onsite. Sites are tucked into dense willow-aspen shrubs and only a few have paths direct to the lake, but there are two overflow parking spots that allow access to the beaches on lake. Bugs are likely bad at times. Roads into this CG are narrow and sketchy for large rvs or travel trailers. Cell service is none. A private lodge is farther down the access Rd toward the hiking TH. Road to the TH is narrow, rocky and limited parking, very limited turnaround for trailers
Love this campground even though I'm not a big fan of paid campgrounds. Only $12 a day. Lake surrounded mainly by trees with stunning views. Clean beautiful water. Lodge that offers dinner and a boat ramp.
