About

Half Moon Pond State Park, near Bomoseen State Park in the Taconic Mountains, offers a quiet swimming beach and boat launch. Its campground has 63 sites - 40 for tents or RVs, 12 tent-only, and 11 lean-tos - none with electric or water hookups; an RV sanitary dump station is available. 5 electric cabins and 1 electric cottage are also on site but not counted in the total above; pets are prohibited in most cabins (one, Dragonfly, is pet-friendly), though allowed on leash at every campsite.

Fees

Vermont Dept. of Forests, Parks and Recreation statewide camping fee schedule (vtstateparks.com/fees.html), per night, shown as VT Resident / Non-Resident: Tent/RV sites $20/$38; Lean-to sites $30/$49 (Burton Island's lean-tos are a published exception at $40/$60); Group camping $6/$10 per person per night (8-person minimum). No separate rate is published for remote/boat-in sites - the standard Tent/RV or Lean-to rate above most likely applies, but this isn't stated explicitly. A $2/night surcharge applies at some "prime" sites; $8/person/night for additional occupants beyond 4 (8-person max per site); $3/pet/night; an $8/site non-refundable reservation fee; firewood $9/bundle; trash $6/bag. Pets are allowed at this campground on a leash (max 10 feet) or confined, for a $3/pet/night fee, per Vermont State Parks' statewide camping policy; pets must be vaccinated and kept from excessive barking.
