Super dusty, which what ever you're camping. Not one camper had their dogs leashed. Running all over the campground. My dog was charged and snapped at. The only dog on leash in the campground. We wont be back.

We had a great time at Iron Mine Campground. It rained in the afternoon we got there, so the dust that a former reviewer complained about was not a problem. (Not that we would have allowed it to be a problem for us.) We were in campsite 7 which was perfect for us as we value our privacy when in a campground. The bathrooms were kept clean and in good repair, although they were a little dated. The earlier-in-the-week crowd was a nice bunch of campers; friendly but not invasive. The arriving-on-Friday crowd was a little more "millennial", but still not too bad. Our only real complaint about the campsite was that one of the benches on our table was not attached to the table and the other one was loose. Our only complaint about the campground in general is that there wasn't a host that we could find which seemed to give people license to drive too fast on the campground road and one group of young adults who were camped in the middle of the campground (at campsite 5) had a pellet gun and were target shooting with nothing too stop their missed shots from straying into other nearby campsites. We wanted to report them, but did not know how to find someone to report them to. A pellet gun may not be lethal, but it can be damaging. The irresponsibility of other campers with dogs off leash or firearms or no respect for quiet hours is not the campground's fault, but it would have been nice to have an authority figure in the area whose presence would likely curtail the rule-breaking. We loved this campground and will likely visit it again. There is also a group site that is set apart from the rest of the campground that was empty, so we explored it. It is definitely a great spot for group camping! We give Iron Mine Campground two thumbs up!

Was a great getaway. Shade could be better in some sites and only a few have water sources. We had a great time anyway. Vault toilets were nice and clean for what they were.

This campground is a little bare and dry, but if that's your thing it's ok. There is water at the campground.

I have stayed in the group site for at least 7-10 nights every year for over 20 years and this is one of my families favorite places to spend time together. It has easy access to the river for children to play in, and it has potable water which occasionally tastes like chlorine after being treated and two toilets. There are so many great hiking trails nearby and plenty of picnic tables for groups of up to 30 to 40 people to sit comfortably. Be prepared for rain and bring tubes for playing in the river, chairs to enjoy the campfire and hammocks to enjoy the breeze in the trees and this could become one of your favorite camping locations as well.
In over 20 years we have had an occasional issue with the garbage can being full or the toilet paper being empty, but after letting the camp host or rangers know the problem it has always been taken care of in a reasonable amount of time. I plan to continue coming here for years to come and see no reason to look anywhere else other than the fact that getting reservations for the group site does require planning at least 1 year ahead of time since reservations are always booked as soon as the group site is available to be reserved, it has been hard to get specific dates close to the same time every year, but it has been worth making the effort.

This place is awful. Don't come here. Crowded. Smelly.
I'm jk, we love it. But please don't come here and leave your trash. Pick up after yourself!

I truly couldn't be happier with my experience at the campground! The Cotton in the air became a nuisance mid day but of course that's just this time of year!, at times it looked like it was snowing Cotton!!
Aside from that the campground was amazing! The bathrooms were clean and did not stink!
I will definitely be returning to this campground many times to come!! 🌲🏞️👍

Quiet and peaceful. Campsites are spaced out very well, so it’s also pretty private. Walkable to the Duchesne river. Lots of shade and trees. Dog friendly.

Dusty, loud, no privacy and a very long drive to get there (some unpaved roads). We arrived late and didn't stay the second night and we left as soon as we could the following morning. The bathrooms are dated, worn, and not clean. The campsites have plenty of room but some are on top of each other. We could have adapted, but it was so dusty that it was too much to really enjoy our time there.
