Tower Rock Campground

Overview

Tower Rock Campground is named for the impressive pillar that looms nearby and offers semi-private sites shaded by a mix of cedar, Douglas fir and maple.

Recreation

A privately-owned trout pond offers fishing nearby, but anglers can also cast for brook trout in the Cispus River.

Drinking water, picnic tables and campfire rings are provided. This facility has vault toilets.

Natural Features

Tower Rock Campground is located about a quarter mile from the south bank of the Cispus River on the east side of Mount St. Helens. The terrain is mostly meadow and mountainside, as the campground is surrounded by mountains on almost every side.

Nearby Attractions

Tower Rock Campground is just east of Mount St. Helens, making it a convenient base for exploring this volcanic monument.
