Iron Creek Campground

Love all the trees and coverage. Great for kids to ride bikes and scooters cause the road is paved also. My favorite campground so far

Iron Creek is located within easy access to the East and South entrances to St Helens. Sites are spacious and private. Each site appears to have a good deal of space in between each which is a plus. Campground has a loop trail and the river can be heard in the background. Campground is close to trails and overall is a great place to relax.

Excellent place to spend a getaway. Hosts were great. Definitely planning a return trip. My only complaint: dog owners, please pick-up after they do their business - it's your responsibility as a dog owner. Otherwise, leave the dog home.

Our trip was a success until I realized I hadn't bought enough ice or firewood, so we took a second trip back in to town for additional resources. Our spot was nice and perfectly spaced and was relatively quiet until loud campers came by. Facilities were clean and since we had prior reservations we had nothing to worry about with checking in. The camp was "full" for the most part with reservation signs everywhere but some campers didn't show up so that was annoying because we could've camped with friends. The only recommendation that I have for this location is I wish they sold firewood since the requirement is to buy local and not bring in wood. The other downside to this camp is the location, a lot of camping spots but the roads are not kept up. Be careful when driving to the right after leaving the camp there's a huge drop where it looks like the cement caves in. Also if you want to know what each spot looks like at this location make sure to google the campground loop and site number, there are some spots that are pretty small.

very nice campground, quiet and right by the river

Just a beautiful campground among the old growth forest . We chose a great site #6 in loop A which had plenty of room for our large REI tent and a screened tent for over the picnic table . Very private too with lots of trees blocking other campsites
Not all of the sites would be appropriate for our tent, they seemed better suited to trailers or RV’s

Camp site was beautiful- surrounded by old growth and the perfect spacing between sites. However, the best feature of this experience was our host, Kathy. When we arrived after a 3 hour drive, we realized that I had inadvertently reserved for the previous night! The sign coming into the campground clearly showed "Full", but when we went back and told Kathy of our predicament and whether there were any cancellations, she took the time to go in and check. Lo and behold, someone had transferred sites, and there was one site open for that night! Lesson learned on my end and also clear to me that while the locations are amazing, it's the people who maintain these facilities who are the frosting on the cake!

Campsites are clearly marked and we found our site on loop D spacious.

Great campground. Large private sites. Nearby hiking and great base camp for exploring Mt Saint Helens view points and hikes.

Had a great time at Iron Creek. Trails were great and river and Creek was fun to see
