Half Moon Lake Campground

Half Moon Lake campground is situated just off the northeast shore of Half Moon Lake at an elevation of 7,600 feet in the Bridger-Teton National Forest, Wyoming. The lake provides many recreational activities. Anglers enjoy fishing for rainbow trout, brown trout, lake trout and other various species native to the area, and visitors also enjoy water sports such as boating, swimming, canoeing and paddle boarding. Two miles down the gravel road is an excellent hiking trail for users of all abilities. The campground offers 17 sites, three of which provide direct lake access. Each site is well screened by willows and equipped with a picnic table and a fire ring, and there are two vault toilets. Approximately half a mile down the main road is the boat launch site, with a dock and additional vault toilets. No drinking water is available. Proper food storage is required. Half Moon Lake was created by glacial movements and is now surrounded by the foothills of the Wind River Mountains. Along the lakeshore and the hillsides you will find lodgepole pine, Douglas-fir and aspen stands interspersed with sagebrush and rocky outcroppings. The Museum of the Mountain Man, located in Pinedale, features a large collection of Rocky Mountain fur trade artifacts, Native American displays, and the history of the settlement of Sublette County. In July look for the annual Green River Rendezvous.
