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.

Beautiful location. The grounds and rest room were spotless, the sites private and the campground very quiet. The couple with the concession to maintain the area were very pleasant and helpful. I'd forgotten that I'd prepaid with my reservation and paid again at the entrance. They tracked me down and refunded my money!

Enjoyed the stay. This was my second visit from 3 years ago. Very quiet which is what I like. Only a couple other campers. I appreciate the cleanliness of the vault toilet and the availability of potable water. The bugs can be bad, but I have seen worse. Deet worked well. The county road from Grand Marais could use some work.

We and friends enjoyed our camping experience very much. The sites were great, lake was beautiful, hiking in the area was plentiful. We enjoyed all of nature at its best!

We spent 4 fabulous nights on site #7. Loved that we were able to access our kayak from the site. We had friends that joined us and were set up on #5 & #6. All of our sites were clean and had plenty of space. The bathrooms were super clean. No cellular service but we expected that. The deer flies were a little pesty during the day but on other trips to the Boundary Waters area we experienced much worse. The mosquitoes arrived at dusk and we were happy to have had a screen tent to retreat to. We were happy to have several places within a few miles in each direction that sold ice. Hope to get back to this campground when we're up that way!!

The Extremely Hazardous smoke cloud meant we stopped at Duluth and waited for healthier air only to abandon our reservation.

Had some trouble with a large tent (9' x 17') due to not finding spots with dirt instead of granite to drive stakes in but that's expected in the area. Site was gorgeous and well-kept. Restrooms clean. And amazingly, not many mosquitoes (did we ever luck out!).

The well water was good and plentiful. The latrine was clean and stocked with toilet paper. The site was easy to pull a trailer into and very level for parking without leveling ramps. We love the view of the night sky and the lake from our site and will always come back.
