Iron Creek Campground

Iron Creek is a beautiful campsite among stunning old-growth forest. We enjoyed hiking the trails around the campground and appreciated the privacy of our site in between the massive trees. We also drove up to see Mt. St. Helen's at Windy Ridge Viewpoint, which was breathtaking. We'd like to come back another year to do more hiking in the area - it's a real gem!

We tent camped at site 58 in late June. It was wooded with lots of privacy from neighboring campers. The sound of the flowing river lulled us to sleep. The vault toilets were well maintained and always stocked with TP. The only reason I gave a 4 rather than 5 start review is that the picnic tables are not moveable. We lucked out that we were able to put our screen house over the table. It came in handy more for rain while we were there than bugs like in the midwest. It would not have worked for us at many of the sites. We highly recommend this campground. We hiked and also took our tandem bike on a nice quiet paved forest service road from the campground.

This campground is located in old growth forest. The camp sites are nicely laid out amongst the beautiful Cedar, Douglas Fir, and Hemlock trees. Water was readily available. Pit toilets were clean and well stocked, and yes, they had the usual smell, but they were clean nonetheless. Paved sites, fire rings, and a onsite host make this campground an easy one to return to. It's also relatively close to the Windy Ridge area of Mt. St. Helens. The road to the mountain is paved although it is quite rough in places due to heaving. The road from Randle to the campground is also paved, with similar heaving in the roadway in spots.

All in all, Iron Creek is a delightful place to spend some time enjoying the forest and close proximity to Mt. St. Helens.

Amazing location! felt like a forest from a fairytale. We felt like home away from home 🏡 And Iron creek waterfall is only 20min drive with amazing, cold, clear water.

So much to explore here, peaceful, and no cell service made it the perfect getaway from everything. Campground has pit toilets which were constantly attended to and clean. I wasn't able to find a map of the campground showing where the trails to the river are, but discovered on our own there are entry points at each loop. Camp host was very nice and greeted everyone on his rounds.

Pavement drive ways
Water spigot right next to our site.
Clean bathrooms with trash bins. Alcohol sanitizer dispenser in restrooms. Large garage bin at the entrance of each loop.
Friendly and helpful host.

Friendly and welcoming host, nice trail surrounding the campground. Site 75 is mostly in the side of the road, so not that much privacy. Other sites seemed better but it is hard to know that when you book online.

Really clean secluded campground with plenty of spacing between most sites (loop B) the sites are ok size, some have barely enough flat area for a single tent but its plenty if you're using a van or camper setup. Great host, easy water access and easy river access. plenty of shade for the summer at most sites, its densely wooded.

Nice, relatively isolated campsites with fire pits and picnic tables. The site we had was right next to the creek, and the noise of the running water cancelled out any noise from people in the other campsites. Slept like a baby.

Good experience
