Our site was very nice and private. We arrived a day earlier than expected which could be why the site wasn't cleaned up. Nice hiking locally. Only negative was the traffic which I think was coming and going from the camp hosts at the top of the hill was frequent loud and fast. Very curvy road I didn't feel real safe walking our dog. Big plus was water on site! Dump station was closed so we had to go to the oak campground's.

We loved camp site 20! It is larger than the two sites it's near and it's the most tucked away from the road. Overall, Iron-Ridge is a very peaceful wooded campground and I would definitely like to return when the lake is a little warmer for swimming. Ticks are bad this year everywhere, so make sure you bring bug spray and tweezers. There was also a lot of poison ivy in and around our campsite, but was avoidable enough if you know how to ID it! Bathrooms were good, but it's just a single stall.

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.

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!

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.
