Was my first time visiting this park and I was in site 31. Site was small and most of it is on a hill but it was pretty secluded so that was nice. Bathroom was very clean and hiking trails were great.

Great Campsites!
Lots of trees, good privacy and clean restrooms.
Only improvements I would like to see are more showers.

Site was beautiful and had plenty of space considering we had a group of 5. The area surrounding was just as nice and there were plenty of things to do in the surrounding areas. Both the campsite and bathrooms were well maintained, as well as surrounding neighbors were alll quiet and respectful. Overall we will be back and had a great experience.

As always, Iron Ridge is a peaceful and usually quiet place to experience nature at its best! Sites are spread out. There are plenty of hiking trails. The lake is down the road for water activities, Even though it was closed to swimming related to e-coli levels, we still managed to kayak a couple of times. The bathrooms were clean and neat, except for the weekend when there were a few rowdy people at the top of the ridge. Still my favorite 'glamping' spot! ALL the camp hosts are amazing!

Campsite wasn’t busy in early June. We were the only ones at the upper sites so we basically had private bathrooms. The downside was the amount of spiders in said bathrooms. Loved the trail that basically went right behind our campsite.
