Half moon campground is a great launching place to hike on trails, or even to just stay there to have a nice picnic. It’s an easy hike to the big timber Creek trails, which are amazing. I was there in the winter. Early January to be exact. There was a cascading set of Falls. It was primarily frozen, and the creek cut through a deep, narrow gorge.

It’s at the bottom of the crazy mountains, which give you an amazing view. I did a half day when it was sunny, and another day when there was a foggy misty bit of snow. Different sorts of views, but both were beautiful.
