Great location. Specious site. Felt clean. The river is beautiful. Only con was cell service but kind of a pro too. Id go back.

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.

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.

My husband and I camped at Iron Creek Campground for four nights in July 2021, with our 23 ft trailer. Our grandchildren, ages 7 and 5, joined us for two nights. We had a blast! The campground is very private, quiet and natural with giant old-growth firs everywhere. Neighboring campsites are well screened. The Cispus River is just a short walk away on a wooded trail. The river was running fast, which made it dangerous for water play. But we walked up the Cispus River's boulder-strewn beach to the mouth of Iron Creek and found that more accommodating and a popular spot.
The campground was not full during our mid-week stay and toilet facilities and grounds were exceptionally well maintained. Our grandkids and other children enjoyed scooters and bicycles around the campsite. The nearby Old Growth Trail is perfect for young children. We all enjoyed an afternoon visit to Iron Creek Falls, which is found south of the campground on Forest Road 25, just before the turn onto Forest Road 99. The waterfall is splendid, dropping maybe 100 ft into a small plunge pool.
My husband and I hiked nearby Tongue Mountain, which was an easy to moderate hike with excellent views of Rainier, Adams, and Mount St. Helens. We completed the 4 mile hike in 1.5 hours. The top is a narrow, rocky ridge that may not be suitable for children. We also enjoyed a 51-mile loop drive, starting at the campground, heading south on Forest Road 25, turning west on Forest Road 99, south on Forest Road 26 to the dead end at Windy Ridge (overlooking Mount St. Helens), and then north on Forest Road 26 to where it joins Forest Road 25 at Iron Creek Campground. This trip took us a little over 3 hours, stopping to enjoy the views of Mount St. Helens, Adams, and Rainier. The loop is an opportunity to see how the landscape around Mount St. Helens is recovering from the eruption in 1980. Warning: Forest Road 26 is paved but in terrible condition with many slumps. Forest Road 25 is only somewhat better.
