Tower Fall Campground

One of the best I have been in anywhere. The campground host was very good. She met us when we pulled up and kept the check in process orderly. This is a campground where you will need to be there very early to get a site. She kept the cars in order to keep the process truly first come.first served. The sites will not work with all campers as.some sites are small. Vault toilets are.very clean. It is quiet and was the camping experience we.were looking for. Near the Yellowstone river, Lamar Valley, and Hayden valley. There is a store at the bottom of hill for ice and firewood and yes a flush toilets. I talked my wife and daughter into this so we would be near Lamar Valley and the wolves. They loved it. The vault toilet does not smell bad as long as people kept.the lid closed and the door shut as instructed. Even they did not mind and was a away from the big crowded campgrounds.

We camped here 3 days in June. The host is a very friendly lady and very helpful. At this campground there is only a pit toilet but it didn't smell bad. If you want you can take a shower at the Roosevelt lodge nearby.||When you want to camp here you really need to be here before 9am because it's first come, first serve. It's a small campground and very quiet. You often can spot a black bear here.||The ranger Programm about the wolves was very interesting and made us wake up very early the next day to go a watch some wolves in the area.

This was a great campground. The sites all had tent pads but you could also fit a small trailer in most sites as well. The host was very nice and informative. My wife and I stayed here 2 night and on the first day a black bear and her cub walked right through our camp! Tower-Roosevelt lodge is just down the way and has showers if you need. This campground does have running water but only pit toilets. Get there EARLY!! This is a first come first served campground. Cash or check no credit card. $15/night.

We arrived for a night of camping in our little teardrop trailer at around 9am last week. There were a number of sites to choose from at this time of the year and day which was good because we'd heard how fast it fills. We chose site 9, which was a wonderful site with some views of the river and lots of river noises. It is a shared space (with separate tables and bear boxes for each site) so you may not have a lot of privacy. Bathrooms were a pit toilet, but it didn't smell at all and was kept clean and well stocked.

We camped three nights in late July and loved this quiet campground. Lots of wildlife around the area including a great horned owl who hooted each evening and a black bear who wandered the woods nearby. The ranger program about wolves was excellent.||||It was convenient to Canyon area, Lamar Valley, and Mammoth. Be prepared for cool nights and arrive early as the camp filled up each day we were there by 10 - 10:30 am.

Wonderful little campground with access road opposite the Tower Falls General Store. There are a relatively few campsites in one loop, with the only services available being pit toilets and drinkable water spigots. A friendly campground host greeted me as I pulled up, and invited me to walk or drive around and look at the available sites. The sites were all big enough to fit our 19 foot long RV, and many were shaded by nice tall trees. Camping there was very quiet. Easy to drive to the General Store for quick food like hot dogs and ice cream. Showers are further to the north at the Roosevelt Lodge, where a nice sit-down restaurant and horse riding can be enjoyed. FIrst come, first served, so get here early.

If you don't have a reservation then this is what you have to do. In mid-August we were planning to arrive thru the North Entrance and knew we had to be at the campground around 8:00 am. We were camping with a 20ft trailer and decided to try Tower Fall or Indian Creek. In order to arrive early at the campground we boondocked just outside Yellowstone at the Carabella Recreation Area, handy to US 89 and about 16 miles north of the park entrance. (Take Tom Miner Creek Road and enter the recreation area about 100 yards from US 89, drive about 1/2 mile on the gravel road to the camping area with several sites close to the river)||We were able to arrive at Indian Creek (decided on that one based on a traveler's recommendation) and arrived at about 7:45 am. The campground hosts were excellent and had a board with the vacancies and expected vacancies, there were only 2 campers including us waiting at the office. They gave us a ticket to place on a campsite and told us to drive thru and select a site that was vacant and come back and fill out the paperwork. We found one where the occupants were packing up so we placed our ticket on the post returned to the office and paid for 2 days. Later we added another day.||This was a very large level and open campsite that was great for us. Even in mid summer Yellowstone can get pretty cold at night so we used the RV furnace, mainly in the mornings to warm things up, after day 2 we needed to put our solar panels out to replenish our RV batteries and the campsite was open enough to get good sunlight.||While we were here we saw most campers stay about 2 days so spots opened up frequently, most campers left between 8 and 9 am and there were always spots for early birds and some days there were sites even in the afternoon, but if you have an RV and need a larger site earlier is better to have some choice.

We stayed here in mid-June and arrived just as the campground hosts started allowing you in. They let us pick from the three sites available that day. We took one on the upper end of the loop and there was plenty of room to set up our two small tents. No ranger programs while we were there but we walked up to the site to check it out. Pit toilet nearby was clean and didn't smell bad. The only negative part of our stay was all the smoke from the camp fires and then more when they put them out. It's usually not a problem but all of the smoke seemed to head our way. The Roosevelt Lodge has wonderful breakfast if you don't want to cook and get on the road early.

If I had to use a couple of words, I'd describe this waterfall as beautiful and magnificent. Why there's three and four-star reviews for this waterfall is beyond me! It was fascinating to watch. I could do it all day long! We don't have waterfalls where I'm from so I guess that's why I was so amazed by it. It's not the largest waterfall inside of Yellowstone Park by any means. However, I was still amazed by it! The water looks crystal clear. Watching the waterfall is so peaceful and soothing. Tower Fall is located on Tower Creek in the northeastern part of Yellowstone National Park. The waterfall dumps out water from the Yellowstone River. The waterfall is 132 feet. It was named by Samuel Hauser, a member of the Washburn Party. (Tower Falls) circa 1870. The U.S. Geological Survey renamed it to Tower Fall in 1928. A painting by Thomas Moran persuaded Congress to designate Yellowstone National Park as the world's first national park in 1872. This is according to Wikipedia. Would I recommend this waterfall and national park? YES, without a doubt. I think everyone should visit Yellowstone National Park if they get the opportunity to do so. It's a beautiful experience you and your loved ones will cherish for many years to come.

Located about three miles south of Roosevelt Junction in the northeastern part of the park, Tower Falls is a 132 foot waterfall dumping water from Yellowstone River. There are certainly bigger and better waterfalls out there, but if you like water and waterfalls, this one isn't likely to disappoint you. I didn't me. There's so much to see and do in the park that I wish we had taken more time at places like this just to sit and relax and do less sightseeing; just breathe and take it all in. Nature is God's handiwork for certain.

Let's preface, that these reviews of particular attractions inside of Yellowstone come with a grain of salt. Yellowstone itself is amazing, but there are certain spots that are OK, and if you're short on time you can skip. This particular falls, was just OK. It's pretty far out as it is in the North East corner of the park, and most people either enter on the west, south, or north. There is actually a better looking waterfall a few miles west of this fall.

A beautiful feature in the park, and I enjoyed seeing it. Definitely far less crowded than the attractions in the geyser and thermal areas, and an easy 150 yard walk from the parking area. That said, actually getting to the attraction could pose a driving problem for some. Specifically those who are squeamish about steep, winding roads with drop-offs. A 19-mile drive from Canyon Village junction takes a lot longer than you might think for 19 miles, so plan accordingly.
