Nice looking campground, there is only four designated campsites but the campground is huge! The is one vault toilet, no trash receptacle and no water except for the river. Cell coverage (Verizon) is only 2 bars (4G LTE), but so far, I can reach the outside world. Seems pretty quiet here save for the critters, lots of trees so plenty of shade.

★★★★★ 5.0 Vicky McNattin · Nov 2023

4 spots, right in the Ohio River with a gorgeous view of Kentucky beyond. I really enjoyed watching the ferry and other boats on the river. Campsites have a fire ring, lantern pole, and picnic table. Clean pit toilet on the premises was a plus. I went there in mid November. I would suggest you bring tick repellent.

★★★★★ 5.0 Janalee Wyrick · Oct 2023

Free camping. Very few sites like maybe 4-5! Was empty when we were there. Pit toilets. Very clean! Has boat ramp and a overlook trail on tower rock.

Hard to give an honest review of Tower Rock State Park it's a place that if explored amazing things can be seen and found but people normally don't see these things here at Tower Rock because access to them is difficult unless you know the area

★★★★★ 5.0 Destiny Fisher · Mar 2021

Beautiful clean area on the water. Secluded and spacious camping areas. No electrical hook up if that's what your looking for. Primitive camping area. Plenty of trails and sites to see around the area.
