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

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, 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.

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.

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.
