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

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.

Sites are too small and close together, it would be better if they were spaced out like Army Camp. It did not matter so much because I was the only one there midweek late September. Nice quiet. It would be great if there was a trail nearby.

This campground is small, but the spots are well arranged so they each feel secluded. There are flush toilets and hot showers. The camp hosts are fantastic.

Some of the cleanest bathrooms I've ever experienced, and I've camped at quite a few locations across the country. Great hosts, super friendly and helpful. Loved the site and the proximity to the trails. This is my second visit to Iron Ridge and I plan to go back many times in the future
