CAMP HALF BLOOD
Camp Half-Blood is a Greek demigod training facility located on the Long Island Sound, directed by Dionysus, who the campers call "Mr. D". It is also the Greek counterpart of Camp Jupiter, a Roman camp in San Francisco, California. But now Roman demigods also reside in this place. This is not just shelter anymore but also a place to learn and train for future heroes.
Camp Half-Blood, Half-Blood Hill, Farm Road 3.141
Long Island, New York 11954
The camp is in Montauk, at the end of the Long Island. The Camp is located on the North Shore of Long Island, referenced many times in the books, while Montauk is located on the South Shore. This makes the camp's true location uncertain. The part of Long Island beach that the camp is invisible to mortals, except the ones who can see through the Mist. Monsters and mortals can not enter, unless permitted from the inside. The address, 3.141, is believed to have originated from the number pi, which is named after the Greek letter. The main entrance of the camp is through Half-Blood Hill,

Due to Hestia and Hades' lack of thrones on Olympus, neither had cabins. In addition, after reforms made byPercy Jackson in The Last Olympian, cabins for Hades, Hecate, Nemesis, Iris, Hebe, Nike, Tyche, Hypnos, and many other minor gods were constructed. There are now a total of 20 cabins. Where the first 12 made a U shape with the addition of 8 more cabins it now makes an omega shape. It is said that they are still making cabins for the other gods and goddesses.
-
It should be noted that Hestia, the goddess of the hearth, has a fire pit in the mess hall. Percy sees the goddess on his first day at camp, but does not really notice her as he thought she was a nymph.
-
Cabins on the left side are odd numbers and cabins on the right side are even numbers (male odd & female even- Dionysus #12 would be a female cabin, but Hestia gave her throne up for him.).
-
The cabins are in order from where their parent sits on the Olympian council.
-
In the movie version, none of the cabins are in the same position or same form.
ZEUS' CABINZeus' Cabin (#1) is described as a marble building looking like a mausoleum, with heavy columns. The big bronze double doors are polished in such a way to provide a 'holographic' effect of lightning bolts passing across. It also thunders all the time. Inside: the dome-shaped ceiling is decorated with moving mosaics of a cloudy sky and thunder bolts. A statue of Zeus in a traditional Greek chiton is centered in the room. It has alcoves with golden eagle statues. | HERA'S CABINHera's Cabin (#2) is a marble, formal-looking building, graceful with slim columns garlanded with pomegranates and flowers. It is done in a similar way to her husband, Zeus' cabin. However, Hera's cabin is more graceful, having slimmer columns with pomegranates and flowers around them. The walls also have images of peacocks carved on them, as well as the doors. Inside: like a temple with a large statue of Hera in the center. There is no furniture inside due to no one will ever stay. | POSEIDON'S CABINPoseidon's Cabin (#3) is a long, low building with windows facing the ocean. The cabin is made from rough sea stone, pieces of coral and seashell embedded into the outside walls, and a trident with a big bronze number 3 over the door. There is always a good sea breeze blowing through it. Inside: The walls are made of abalone. There are six neat bunk beds with silk sheets and a salt water fountain given to Percy. There is also a sort of mobile of hippocampi or "fish-ponies" as Tyson calls them. |

DEMETER'S CABINDemeter's Cabin (#4) is covered in flowers and tomato plants grow on the walls and doorway. Wild flowers and roses grow on the porch. It has a real grass roof. The cabin is colored a light shade of brown. | ARES' CABINAres' Cabin (#5) is badly painted red and has a large boar's head over the door with barbed wire on the roof. Annabeth mentioned it did have land mines, but she might have been joking. Rock music is constantly blaring from it. | ATHENA'S CABINAthena's Cabin (#6) is a gray building with plain white curtains and a design of an owl over the door. Inside: most of the space is devoted to maps, desks, various projects and weapons, with all the bunks shoved together against one wall, "as if sleep was not important". |
APOLLO'S CABINApollo's Cabin (#7) is made of solid gold and made to glow during the daytime - it's hard to tell if the gold is reflecting light or generating it. | ARTEMIS' CABINArtemis' Cabin (#8) is an all silver building with silver curtains, similar to the outfit of the Hunters. It also glows silver during night time as if reflecting the moon, but looks like a normal cabin in the day. It is decorated with paintings and carvings of wild animals, mostly the stag. Because Artemis doesn't have children of her own and the cabin is honorary; however it is used by the Hunters when they visit camp. | HEPHAESTUS' CABINHephaestus' Cabin (#9) looks like a small factory, with brick walls and smokestacks like the forges and lots of gears around the entrance. Inside: Folded steel bunks against the walls to be like "high-tech Murphy beds". Each bed has a digital control panel, blinking LED lights, glowing gems, and interlocking gears. It has shiny metal walls and metal slated doors. It is noted for being unclean and messy, filled with junk most of the time. A fire pole comes down from the second floor. |
APHRODITE'S CABINAphrodite's Cabin (#10) is a wooden cabin with a painted blue roof, pillars, checkerboard deck with steps and gray walls. It also smells heavily of designer perfume. Inside: It is described as a life-size dollhouse with pink walls and white window trim. The lace curtains are pastel blue and green which matched the sheets and feather comforters on all the beds. The guys had one row of bunks separated by a curtain, but their section of the cabin was just as neat and orderly as the girls'. | HERMES' CABINHermes' Cabin (#11) has peeling brown paint and a caduceus over the door. It is probably in such bad shape because it was so over-populated.

HADES' CABINHades' Cabin (#13) is a windowless cabin made of solid obsidian, with heavy columns and torches that burn green like Greek fire twenty-four hours a day and has a skull over the door.
