GenieSummary

The staff is very friendly and the bathhouse is very clean. The pond itself is pretty shallow and has some weeds, but there is a deeper swimming area. Not many RVs, mostly tents and pop ups. Half Moon Pond is a great place for a peaceful getaway. The pond is ideal for fishing and kayaking, and Bomoseen State Park is only 20 minutes away for a larger lake experience. The prime sites lining the pond have sun and some shade, and there are water spigots liberally sprinkled throughout the park. The staff is very friendly and the bathhouse is very clean. The pond itself is pretty shallow and has some weeds, but there is a deeper swimming area. There are no hookups, but the local scenery is superb in the autumn, with lots of farm stands selling fresh, local produce.

From The Campground

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 is located in the dense woods of a small, sheltered basin, surrounding Half Moon Pond. The campground offers camping for all tastes with its waterfront campsites and lean-to's and five furnished cabins. For those seeking more creature comforts, Tall Timbers Cottage, with its waterfront location and private boat dock, offers all the amenities of home. The park offers a vast trail system including a short walk or, for the more ambitious, a full-day's hike. Hikers are likely to see a variety of wildlife including white-tailed deer or an occasional moose. 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 coin-operated showers. There is also an RV dump station. 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. The park has a park interpreter offering fun, hands-on activities. Interpreters are park staff solely dedicated to helping you learn more about the natural and cultural history of the park. Some popular activities include night hikes, nature crafts and games, campfire programs and amphibian explorations.
