Camping at Half Moon Lake Campground near Pinedale

Public campground · Pinedale · 17 campsites

A forested campground near trout fishing, hiking, and mountain biking. Most campsites have no hookups.

About this campground

Half Moon Lake Campground sits on the northeast shore of its namesake basin in the Bridger-Teton National Forest at about 7,600 feet, where glacially formed shoreline meets the lower foothills of the Wind River Mountains. The shore and surrounding slopes are a patchwork of lodgepole pine, Douglas-fir and aspen interspersed with sagebrush and rocky outcrops, and willow thickets screen most campsites.

“The online portal differs from the signs posted onsite as to whether the site is reservable or not”

“The campground was about what we expected. Barking dogs and people running noisy generators annoyed us.”

How far ahead to book Half Moon Lake Campground

For July weekends, book about 181 days ahead. Three in four July Friday and Saturday arrivals were booked later than that, and half were booked 111 days or less before arrival. Past timing is guidance, not a guarantee of what is open now.

Months with fewer than 30 reservations of that kind are left blank. Sites where nearly every booking was made the day of arrival (pay on arrival) are left out. Closed seasons, windows not yet released for booking, and currently unavailable nights are separate from this history.

Based on Recreation.gov reservations, FY2015–2025 (2,441 reservations in the years scored). Counts reservations made, not nights actually camped: cancellations aren't in the data, and nights a site was closed count as not booked. FY2020–21 (COVID) are left out of the scores.
