Iron Lake campground offers a beautiful, clean, and quiet setting with well-maintained sites and amenities, making it an enjoyable destination for nature lovers. Campers appreciated the privacy of the sites and the access to recreational activities like kayaking and hiking. However, some guests experienced noise issues from generators and neighbors, which affected their overall experience. Despite these drawbacks, many expressed a desire to return, highlighting the campground's charm and natural beauty.

Resupply of outhouse supplies would be appreciated.
Site was not well cleaned by a prior occupant.
Daytime use of a gas generator two sites down during the daytime hours was an unwelcome disturbance.
Great view of the lake. Watched a bull moose on the opposite shore for several minutes.

The management could have been better for the three days we were there. Maybe it's just a result of Covid, but there was no toilet paper at the vaults and when staff came to change out "reserved" placards, they took ours away a day early. This caused several vehicles to drive into our site because it appeared available. Not the end of the world, but these are pretty basic things you'd expect them to have a handle on. We did really appreciate that it was open this summer though!

Very nice campsite. Tent spot is sheltered. Views of the lake. Some great loon activity in front of our site.
