Mt. Holy Cross/Tigiwon (Half Moon) Camping 2022

Post by marcusmartin »

Hi, I'm planning on camping at the Holy Cross TH this week (August 8, 2022).

Can anyone provide me with a 2022 camping update? Availability of spots? Any other pertinent information would be appreciated.

Thank you.
Marcus

Should be fine based on my experience from last Sunday nite. The parking lot campground was empty out of 8 or so great spots. Even has its own vault toilet in addition to the one in the parking lot. And the cross creek campground was maybe just under half full. Say 4 of 10 spots taken.

Yes, there's a decent number of spots all along the road. Camped up there twice without any problems finding a spot on a Sat evening (one was in September to be fair).

Thanks. I probably would go up during the week, so it sounds like I won't have trouble getting a site.
