Towle Campground sits within Foothills Park, managed by the City of Palo Alto with access restricted to city residents only. The drive-in campground operates from May through October, charging $40 per night for reservations that must be made in advance. Basic amenities include drinking water, restrooms, picnic tables, and trash service, with campfires permitted at sites.
The residential restriction significantly limits availability compared to places to camp around Los Altos Hills. Campers without Palo Alto residency should consider Black Mountain Backpacking Camp for an alternative option in the area.
