This was our second time here this year! Wished we would have reserved more weekends. This is a secluded, clean, quiet and luscious location. The host are amazing, friendly and courteous. They remind you that you are on vacation and not to worry. They are busy ensuring the place is kept well and clean. There is a curfew that is respected and the place is super quiet after 10pm, I believe. There are a few trails close to the campsites and lots of loops for the kids to ride bikes. We plan on stay a handful of time next summer. Thank you to the hosts at the site for keeping Iron Creek beautiful!

We really enjoyed our time here. Fishing the Cispus and visiting Layser Cave were highlights. Site A10 was a great site but the road was very busy with logging and dump trucks and the noise detracted from the experience. Sites further away from the road may be less susceptible.

Beautiful, quiet, spacious sites. The trees are amazing. The bathrooms are grim. If you can tolerate them and keep your eyes on the beauty it is a great place to camp.

The campsite was absolutely beautiful and restrooms well kept up. It was quiet and private and the trail that wrapped around the entire campground was so nice! We enjoyed ourselves very much and wished we would have booked more days. It as perfect for our older doggo as well.

The sites are very close together and loud. If you like seclusion, this is not the campground to reserve. The sites are very small however, the staff was great. Most bathrooms were clean
