About
Halfmoon Campground sits at 4,720 feet elevation in a shaded area along Piru Creek in the Mt. Pinos Ranger District of Los Padres National Forest. This small, primitive campground offers 10 well-spaced sites that provide good privacy. Each site is equipped with a picnic table and fire ring/grill for campfires when conditions permit. The campground operates on a first-come, first-served basis with a $5 per night fee. Interagency Senior/Access passes provide a 50% discount. Vault toilets are available, but there is no potable water on site, so campers must bring an adequate supply. Quiet hours are enforced from 10pm to 6am, with a maximum stay of 14 days. Access to Halfmoon is via Grade Valley-Mutau Road (Forest Road 7N03), a dirt road that runs approximately 9 miles from the Lockwood Valley/Grade Valley Road junction. The road and campground are subject to seasonal closure from November 1 through April 30 due to Multiple Vehicle Use Management regulations.
Directions
From Lockwood Valley Road, take Grade Valley-Mutau Road (FS 7N03) approximately 9 miles south to the end of the road.
