We got lucky with a last minute reservation at the iron creek campsite and a had very enjoyable time at this campground. The river and hiking trail that surrounds this campsite makes it very special and most of the campsites seem well spaced with foliage buffering your site from your neighbors. Toilets were kept in best condition possible. It was a a busy holiday weekend packed with kids, bikes and dogs but we managed to find quiet time outside with our pup hiking some amazing waterfalls nearby and more waterfalls a bit farther away. It is an enchanting area to survey, we watched elk running along one hike and grouses along another. Excited to visit again. Only thing, that was kind of confusing , was the lack of recycling. Regardless, we look forward to staying at iron creek again.

This is an amazing campground. The hosts were super friendly and the campground is in pretty good shape. The forest and surrounding areas are lush and the nearby river is amazing - particularly in summer. We have camped here multiple times and have enjoyed our visits.

We stayed in D87. The campground is clean, quiet and beautiful with all the old growth trees and thick vegetation. The restrooms were clean and our picnic table at our site was new. There was a great little rocky shore where we could put our feet in the water. The camp hosts were super nice! Great campground!!

What an amazing campground! This is one of the few places to see so many old growth trees and glacial blue waters outside a National Park. Clean restrooms and level private campsites. Also, a great area to ride bikes along the Cispus river between Iron Creek and Tower Rock Campgrounds.

What A beautiful campsite 20 minutes from civilization. The hosts were spectacular and did a incredible job maintaining the order and cleanliness of this campground. It goes without saying the bathrooms were the cleanest toilets I have encountered on my travels. People with trailers need to be a little careful coming in from town due to some Uneven road surfaces. The hike around the perimeter of the campground is heavenly, especially for the dog. Thank God, only a small portion of this campground was damaged due to an unattended campfire incident last year.🙄

The most beautiful campground in the midst of large trees and full underground foliage. The river is beautiful and our kids spent hours playing on the shore. The sites are situated in a way that they are all private and quiet. There is no cell service, which is a bonus if you’re looking to get away from it all. We will be back!

Site 81 is a great site at Iron Creek Campground. It is a little more open than other sites but is in a quiet corner and you can hear the river all night long. Good size spot and great space between neighboring sites. Hope to stay again in the future.
