Camping tips for Devils Tower National Monument

If you are planning a Devils Tower Camping Trip Belle Fourche River Campground is the only campground located in Devils Tower National Monument.

Devils Tower Camping

I personally loved the layout of the campground as there are lots of grass and Cottonwood trees that provide shade and turn bright yellow in the fall.

Did I mention the incredible views of Devils Tower itself? You can see Devils Tower all around the campground through the Cottonwood trees making even a trip to the restroom rewarding.

Don't forget to pack

Insect repellent is always a great idea outdoors, especially around any body of water.

We use Permethrin Spray on our clothes before our park trips. Please read my article on preventing biting insects while enjoying the outdoors.

Sunscreen - I buy environmentally friendly sunscreen whenever possible because you inevitably pull it out at the beach.

Bring your water bottle and plenty of water with you. Plastic water bottles are not sold in the park.

Sunglasses - I always bring sunglasses with me. I personally love Goodr sunglasses because they are lightweight, durable, and have awesome National Park Designs from several National Parks like Joshua Tree, Yellowstone, Hawaii Volcanoes, Acadia, Denali, and more!

Binoculars/Spotting Scope - These will help spot birds and wildlife and make them easier to identify. We tend to see waterfowl in the distance, and they are always just a bit too far to identify them without binoculars.
