Welcome

Nestled away in the forests of 3,500-acre Bomoseen State Park sits the quiet camping area of Half Moon Pond State Park. The park sits in a sheltered basin surrounded by dense woods and the serene Half Moon Pond. The park campground features a vast trail system, from short walks to full-day hikes. Hikers often spot white-tailed deer and occasionally a moose. Trails also connect to High Pond and Bomoseen State Park.

Facilities and Amenities

With sites both on the water's edge and in the woods, the 52 tent/RV sites, 5 cabins and 11 lean-to sites provide great camping opportunities in a quiet, peaceful environment. There are restrooms with flush toilets, hot and cold running water and token-operated showers. There is also an RV dump station. There is a play area and hiking trails to High Pond and to Bomoseen State Park.

Motorized watercraft are not allowed on Half Moon Pond. Rowboats, kayaks, canoes and pedal boats are available for rent from the park office. Two small, sandy beaches provide locations for sunbathing and swimming. The pond also has excellent fishing, where anglers can catch panfish, yellow perch and largemouth bass. Other exceptional fishing opportunities can be found at nearby Glen Lake and Lake Bomoseen.
