Iron Creek Campground

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.🙄
