Great Experience! Very peaceful atmosphere.

We loved the site. However a dog off leash attached our dog and family.

Been camping here for decades. Seeing some wear and tear like tables needing repair or replacement but over all campsite was good. Would have liked to have had a cement fire pit but smaller metal was OK. Could have done without pistol target practice shooting nearby. Too close to campground and scared the kids. Is this practice done within the campground? If not, why is it allowed even just outside?

Very beautiful camp ground! Our fire ring in spot 002 was too close to the trees for comfort and we couldn't surround it like normal. The vault toilets ran out of paper and it wasnt replaced, but we brought our own. The site was huge and far enough away from the other sites that it didn't feel cramped like a lot of sites. I would go back, just picking a different site, as the rest had good fire pit areas.

The campground itself was ok, though cows did often walk through it. Note that site 8 is incorrectly labeled, it definitely is not a pull through, and you would struggle to get more than a single small;mid size rv in.

Quiet area, close to the restrooms & water spigot. Not far from Defas dude ranch & the river for fishing.

@RonnieD96A0785 · Camped on Jul 6, 2023 at Campsite #15

Wonderful camp grounds. Our whole family throughly enjoyed our time here.

Beautiful camp site and surrounding area. Bathrooms are subpar but that is to be expected

@BarbaraT607139 · Camped on Jun 17, 2023 at Campsite #1

Beautiful and quiet! We will be back!

@Christine33606 · Camped on Aug 11, 2022 at Campsite #4

The campground is in a beautiful area! Our site was nice, clean and very enjoyable. The ground was soft and we had a difficult time leveling the trailer due to recent rains. There were lots of cows around and in our campsite. Defa’s Dude Ranch is close by and we had a nice horse ride through the trees by the river. Would go again!

@JeanneF1190030 · Camped on Aug 5, 2022 at Campsite #12

One of our favorite spots. Campsites are not too close together, lots of trees, and quiet.

@PaulW1379819 · Camped on Jul 29, 2022 at Campsite #7

Iron Mine is an isolated campground, so I didn't feel like I was surrounded by people like in many other campgrounds around the state. My kids had an enjoyable time. We had fun fishing in the river and sitting around camp. There isn't much else to do in the area that I am aware of.

@RussellR822636 · Camped on Jun 4, 2022 at Campsite #14

Great campground. Well maintained and pretty quiet. Most sites have a slope so leveling a RV is a little tricky.

@SheriB2153217 · Camped on Sep 3, 2021 at Campsite #15

Great campground. Close to the river and peaceful. It was a little tricky getting into site 15 with our 27 foot trailer but the site across from us was empty which helped.

Been camping the North Fork of the Duchesne for 50 years. Many wonderful memories and will be back again next year.

Even though without the knowledge that it was a 6 mile drive to the campground from the highway sometimes a bit narrow and paved off and on pulling a 5th wheel it was the greatest find ever. I almost had my husband turn around because we had no idea what to expect at the end of this long road. Once in the campground we were supposed to stay in site #7 but it was very unlevel (could have been done but a lot of work) and putting out slides was questionable with trees. We found a non reserveable site #18 and decided to stay there instead. It was a great site next to clean bathrooms. We loved our 7 day stay. We rode bikes, walked all around and the river was right across the road from us. The only thing is there were a lot of cows all around the campground which was no bother until we left for a whole day and they decided to take over our site. They were laying everywhere and had chewed several items in camp and the steps of our RV but nothing serious. Just like little children they were on their best behavior when you were around! Definitely will come back if ever in this area!

Iron Mine never fails to satisfy. A short drive from the city brings a cool, shady vacation from the heat of the summer. The campsite is always clean, even without camp hosts. Hiking and fishing are nearby, with a couple of nice reservoirs you can get to within 15 minutes. NB: the burrs are terrible this year, probably a climate thing - but they do provide you and the dog with some 1:1 time ;)

Great hikes nearby and a nice river to cool off in afterward!

@BranJen - Santa Clara, CA

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.

@Wondering - Oregon

Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado

I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
