Thompson Peak Lookout Tower
Reviewed Jul. 1, 2024

Incredible lookout with amenities!

Just finished up my stay here after snagging a cancellation and I’m absolutely blown away. This was my first lookout tower experience, I was little skeptical about spending $80 post tax for this, but it was well worth it. Beautiful secluded tower with amazing views on almost every side of the tower. So many amenities, this is better than a lot of Air BnBs I’ve stayed at. Working fridge w freezer, coffee maker, microwave, two burner stove, heater, cooking utensils, pots/pans, working electricity and 4 bars of service. I usually go for more remote locations, but this was a wonderful break from sleeping outside in a tent for 8 days straight. Super comfy stay. The drive up was fine. Almost any car could drive up, just be careful with FWD when it gets muddy. As someone who visited solo I felt extremely safe. Padlock on the gate on the road, padlock on the front door, and a padlock on the door taking you up to the 3rd story. Absolutely awesome place for watching sunset, sunrise, and stargazing! I got the opportunity to watch a lightning storm in the middle of the night. trash is PACK IN PACK OUT! There is NO RUNNING WATER here. Pit toilet only. Well worth the money.
