About Halfmoon Campground

The Halfmoon Campground is located at the top of Tigiwon Road 707 near the boundary for the [Holy Cross Wilderness](http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/whiteriver/recarea/?recid=81113) in a forested setting; all [wilderness regulations ](http://www.fs.usda.gov/detail/whiteriver/specialplaces/?cid=stelprd3825863)must be observed when traveling in the wilderness (foot and horse travel only). This campground is located at the trailheads for several hiking trails and is heavily used by hikers who are climbing Mount of the Holy Cross. Due to the nature of the Forest Road to the campground and the short parking spurs within the campground, the Halfmoon Campground is not suitable for most RVs.
