About

Tower Rock Campground takes its name from the striking rock pillar visible nearby. Located in the Cispus Valley about a quarter mile from the south bank of the Cispus River, the campground occupies mostly meadow terrain surrounded by mountains on nearly every side. The 20 semi-private sites are shaded by a mix of cedar, Douglas fir, and maple, with paved parking spurs accommodating vehicles up to 22 feet. Drinking water is available from a hand pump, and vault toilets serve the campground. Each site includes a picnic table and fire ring. The campground is managed by ExplorUS and operates mid-May through mid-September with reservations through Recreation.gov. A privately-owned trout pond nearby offers fishing, and anglers can cast for brook trout in the Cispus River. The Burley Mountain trailhead is located off Forest Road 28 about 4 miles from the Highway 23 intersection, providing access to multiple waterfalls including Angel Falls. Layser Cave Interpretive Site with its short trail to the cave is also nearby.
