This is a nice, isolated campsite. It takes about 30-45 min to get to it from Fawnskin. While 4WD wasn't needed for us, the road is pretty rough. I did see a minivan out there though. The next closest campsite is about 1/2 mile away. It's very peaceful not having other campers near you. We did see deer everyday. There was a 5' rattlesnake that appeared in the middle of our site.

I did see a minivan out there though. The next closest campsite is about 1/2 mile away. It's very peaceful not having other campers near you. We did see deer everyday. There was a 5' rattlesnake that appeared in the middle of our site. We didn't notice it until it was about 5' from our dog. We just got out of its way and it continued along its path. There are four large picnic tables and three bear boxes for food. It was really hot during our stay, but the trees provided great shade. There is no running water and only a pit toilet. The flat spaces for tents is limited. Not including the parking area, you could probably get 4 tents. Some of the parking area is flat as well.

Ironwood was absolutely surprising! It reminded me of the Ponderosa from the TV show Bonanza. The Christian faith-based lessons integrated with science and nature were spot on...Stephen the coordinator is 100% a true leader sent by God. I could see the Holy Spirit in him! God bless him, his family, and the entire Ironwood crew. They've created and sustained an environment that provided us memories... Ironwood was absolutely surprising!

I highly encourage any Christian organization to book a reservation. You will not be disappointed!

I did not stay here. I walked here from yellow post number six. I didn't check to see if there's a fee to stay at this site. But in another comment, someone mentioned $115 a night for the group site. There seems to be a parking driveway area for the cars. Then a line of big rocks to separate the parking from the actual campground.

But in another comment, someone mentioned $115 a night for the group site. There seems to be a parking driveway area for the cars. Then a line of big rocks to separate the parking from the actual campground. There were four tables, three bear boxes, and a vaulted toilet covered by 4 wooden walls. The areas to pitch a tent are decent but some areas would have to be on a slight slope. Or you can get your truck between a couple of the rocks and put your roof top tent up too. You can walk off in many directions to explore. There is a trail from this site leaving down somewhere but we didn't check it out.

I didn't actually stay here, but at the nearby yellow post sites. The yellow post sites do not have vault toilets, but this campground does! With toilet paper! So if you want to experience the backwoods, but cant stand the thought of pooping in a hole you dug, just drive less than a mile down the road here. I camped in the area 2 years ago, not sure if much has changed. This dead end road used to... I didn't actually stay here, but at the nearby yellow post sites.

Beautiful campsite right next to a meadow at the end of a trail. Grills and an outhouse too.
