Airline lounge showers usually come with towels and toiletries. Airport operated showers generally do not (or in some cases have a fee for towels & toiletries).
I carry a towel when travelling, and know where it is at all times.

I remember years ago, I must have been 19 or so, Air Canada didnt give me a towel at the lounge. That has now changed though.

I'd have echoed the other posters in this thread but visited the Garuda Indonesia lounge before my DPS-CGK flight in December 2014 and there was a beautiful marble bathroom and shower. Which did not come with a towel. Either in the room or after asking at the service desk.
So I'd say 99% of the time there will either be towels provided or available for a fee. But there is always an exception.

Linen isn't so great for drying off.
That's what I get for posting late at night.

Thankfully I wasn't in desperate need of a shower in this instance, but also pack a change of clothes when I expect to shower in the lounge.

However, I've heard of some public pay showers that don't provide towels, IIRC at NRT.
BTW, I travel with a towel if I'm going to a European beach resort that might charge a fee for using a towel at the pool or on the beach.

This is my experience too, although I try to bring my own toiletries anyway. Outside of the USA don't expect a washcloth. Also, there might not be a bathmat--I've sued a dirty T-shirt for this purpose--or a second big towel for wet hair.

In dozens of lounge showers all over the world I've never found a lounge that didn't provide a towel. Though I sometimes wish they'd provide two.
