Iron Creek Campground

This camp ground was so beautiful, the facilities were clean, the host family (May 30th- June 1st) was really helpful and kind. It was an amazing weekend!

Bridge was out so we could not get to the csmpground. Nearby ranger station closed the next morning. Detour information was vague and involved 32 minutes of driving over Forest service roads of questionable maintenance. No Internet service to cancel our reservation. We had to select alternate camping sites.

Iron Creek is such a beautiful campground! The campground was mostly empty when we checked in for our stay, so we found another, larger site that was available. It was perfect! The camp hosts were really friendly and helpful. We look forward to visiting the park again in the coming years!

Nice quiet campground. Vault toilets were exceptionally clean.

Gorgeous campground in an old growth forest with a loop trail to explore. D & C loops can hear the river.

Great campsite with well spaced out campsites each with its own picnic table and fire pit. Lots of water taps and toilets were kept very clean and well stocked and did not smell for drop toilets. Only thing to look out for is RV and tent sites are mixed so if you are in a tent you may end up next to noisy RV generators.

Beautiful area.

Getting to Iron Creek was a pain due to road closures but the park itself is very nice. The hosts are friendly, the hikes are easy and well-maintained. The vault toilets were not as smelly as some of the other places we've been. They were regularly maintained.

A nice quiet campground. The hosts are very kind and keep things going well. My campsite was clean and right near the river. Lots of trails and nice walks. Not really close to anything else. The bridges are out so not easy to get to the campground or Mt St Helens. All in all tho, a very pleasant rough camping experience and will go again next year when the bridge is fixed.

I totally would’ve given this campground a 5 star rating but there was no where to pay other than a self pay station that was cash only… there’s nothing anywhere when booking it’s cash only. So I drove around looking for the hosts house and couldn’t find it. I waited and waited and waited for the ranger or a host to come by but it didn’t happen till 10pm and all we got asked was “you good on firewood?” We also booked 6/27 and it wouldn’t let us book 6/28 because it was listed as first come first serve and when we got there our spot was booked. We drove 4 hours to spend less than 24 hours there. I hope there is some improvement on that for the next time we return. We will be returning as we found it was a very quiet camp and we were able to bring our dog. We could hear the river from our site and it was really lovely! It’s now a tradition we go back yearly just because of it being such a good hidden gem!
