Summary

AI generated

Tower Rock Campground is a well-maintained and quiet site with clean facilities and plenty of shade, making it a pleasant spot for relaxation. While campsites are somewhat close together and there is no official river access, the campground offers easy access to nearby attractions like the Northern Gifford Pinchot. Some visitors noted a lack of amenities, such as toilet paper, and confusion with a similarly named campground, but overall, the environment is appreciated for its peaceful vibes and friendly atmosphere.

We always go on a weekday, it is never crowded. We were able to move from our reserved spot to another. I especially like the fact that when we left there we left our kayak paddles. I was actually impressed that I was able to go back the next day and retrieve them right where I left them laying.

Nice quiet location, toilets all in good working order and clean, fire pits are all newer and in great order. I would have given 5 stars but most tables are in need of repair.

My location was 012 I booked it because it had 5 stars on reservation.gov but it was by far the worst spot in the campground! Everyone can see you so no privacy, the dirt is very soft and sandy, the picnic tables are rotten and the area was overgrown by vegetation and small; but, other than that it’s a quiet clean place.

Nice park and RV site. Ripe blackberries were a pleasant surprise. Definitely noisy with nearby highway and train.

The camp was pretty quiet when we were there- there were a couple of groups that were up late and talking and laughing, but it was never loud and it didn't bother us. The pit toilets were clean. The Layser Cave was interesting, and the hike to Angel Falls? Curtain Falls? was nice.

Very quiet camp ground. Bathroom was clean. Host was great. Able to play in river at the bridge. We went with the purpose of gathering huckleberries which we did so that made the trip. The area was bug free except for yellow jackets. No hook ups. So sites are better for RV or trailers. Down load the pdf map is a must. There were no camp fires allowed when we were there but that made it better. Lack of campfire smoke was a positive.

Camp host Jason was incredibly helpful. Location of the campground was just OK. It looks like it has river access but doesn’t.
