How far is Towle Campground from Palo Alto?

Towle Campground is approximately 50-60 miles from Palo Alto, making it accessible for a weekend getaway. The drive typically takes between 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on traffic conditions and the specific route taken. The journey involves traveling through the peninsula and into more mountainous terrain. Be sure to check road conditions before departing, especially during winter months when weather might affect accessibility. This relatively short distance makes Towle Campground a convenient outdoor escape for Palo Alto residents without requiring extensive travel time.

Can you camp in Los Altos Hills near Towle Campground?

Camping directly in Los Altos Hills is limited as it's primarily a residential area with few designated campgrounds. Los Altos Hills is closer to urban development than Towle Campground. For camping experiences near Los Altos Hills, consider nearby options such as Portola Redwoods State Park or Memorial Park, both within reasonable driving distance. These alternatives offer established camping facilities while maintaining proximity to Los Altos Hills. Always verify camping regulations, as overnight stays in non-designated areas are typically prohibited. For a true camping experience, Towle Campground itself remains a better option than trying to camp within Los Altos Hills.
