Tower Hill State Park Campground

4 Reviews

Tower Hill State Park Campground, near Spring Green, Wisconsin, is a cozy spot that offers a unique blend of history and outdoor fun. With only ten sites, it provides a more intimate camping experience, making it easy to find some privacy while enjoying the beautiful surroundings.

The campground is right by the Wisconsin River, perfect for those looking to paddle or fish. Visitors often mention the historic shot tower on-site, which adds a touch of intrigue to your stay. There are also some nice hiking trails that lead to great views of the valley, so don’t forget your camera.

While the campground has its quirks, like limited amenities and a few vault toilets, many campers appreciate the peaceful atmosphere. As one reviewer noted, “Comfortable campground with few sites and good privacy between them.” Just be sure to bring bug spray, as the mosquitoes can be quite persistent, especially during the warmer months.

Cool spot, underwhelming experience.

I have stayed at this campground three times in the last decade or so.

Pros:

- Excellent location if you're looking to recreate on the Wisconsin River or visit the American Players Theater across the way.  

- Interesting history about the Shot Tower on site.

- Nice little hiking trails.

Cons:

- Every time I've visited we've dealt with lots of mosquitos, but nothing comes close to our most recent visit!  It was a mosquito massacre.  So terrible that after coating ourselves in DEET and eating dinner there the first night, we actually booked another campsite about a half hour away (Brigham County Park - a gem!) and abandoned this site altogether.  

- Vault toilets were fragrant.

Nice site in compact state park

Comfortable campground with few sites and good privacy between them. Right by the river. 

Very small state park — felt more like a regional park or even city park. But nice and easy to get to nonetheless.

The lead shot tower is cool to visit.

Bring bug spray!

Small, quirky state park

It's more of a  picnic area than campground, there are only ten sites. Large area for picnics and gatherings with campsites around two sides.
Site #1 is below the road level, but next to the long hill down to the canoe launch. This is not a direct put-in to the Wisconsin river, but into a marshy tributary. The mosquitoes are notorious. Most sites are on a short bluff over the marsh. Site #5 is the largest and nicest. #6 has a stone BBQ, but the grate is missing. #7 is possibly the most unique in the state, it has an old, restored wood burning oven. Utensils are available at the office (book ahead) and you are expected to mop it out when finished.  Pizza, bread, one pot meals, whatever you can make. the remaining sites are sloped and small.
There is a CCC pre-fab style hall available for large groups, it has a fireplace at one end and is no-frills. No Elec or flush toilets anywhere.
A total of 3+ miles of trails, up to the historic, restored shot tower with an exhibit and great views of the valley.
The whole park is up against county road C, which is not heavily trafficked, but you won't be completely away from engine noise.
This is the closest camping to Taliesen and town of Spring Green. Nearby is Peck's Farm, which has produce, Cheeses, jellies etc... and a free zoo that kids will love. The pygmy goats alone are worth a visit.

One of my favorites in wisconsin

I come here once a year because I love the spring green area and this campground is less crazy than gov. dodge. This historic shot tower is so fun to visit. The mosquitos can be bad, so wear DEET!
