About Tower Fall Campground

Tower Fall Campground sits at 6,600 feet in Yellowstone's northern range, a small 31-site camp between Tower Fall's 132-foot cascade and the wildlife corridors of Lamar Valley. The location trades amenities for proximity: basic flush and vault toilets, potable water, bear lockers, and trails that connect to Mount Washburn's alpine slopes and the Roosevelt area's thermal features.

The campground contains 31 campsites. The source does not specify whether sites are designated for tent, RV, group use, cabins, primitive sites, or glamping.

Elevation6600 ft above sea level

Natural Features and SceneryThe campground occupies forested terrain where the Yellowstone River has carved deep gorges through volcanic rock. To the east, Lamar Valley spreads across sagebrush flats and meadows. To the west, the road climbs toward Dunraven Pass and Mount Washburn's 10,243-foot summit. The elevation here puts you in lodgepole pine forest with occasional Douglas fir, distinct from the valley grasslands a few miles away. Tower Creek drops 132 feet into the Yellowstone River just downstream, visible from a short trail near the campground. The surrounding cliffs attract bighorn sheep and raptors, including golden eagles and peregrine falcons.

Lodging & AccommodationsRoosevelt Lodge is a short drive from the campground and offers dining and horseback riding; the campground itself does not list on-site lodging.

Go if

Wildlife-focused campers will find spring the strongest season here: grizzlies moving through elk calving grounds, migrating raptors above the cliffs, and Lamar Valley just east for wolves and bison at dawn before the crowds arrive.

Skip if

No showers anywhere on site, generators are prohibited, and the road toward Dunraven Pass is steep and winding, so anyone needing hookups, a hot rinse after a long hike, or easy large-rig access should pick a different Yellowstone camp.
