Halfmoon Campground

Halfmoon Campground offers 10 shaded campsites arranged in a loop near Piru Creek in Los Padres National Forest, with each site featuring a picnic table and fire ring.

The campground is primitive with vault toilets but no potable water, requiring visitors to be completely self-sustainable, and is accessible via a dirt road (FS 7N03) normally passable by 2-wheel-drive vehicles.

Swimming is available in Piru Creek, though vehicle travel in the creek is prohibited except on designated trails; the site operates first-come, first-served with a 14-day stay limit and $5 per night fee.
