Reviews of Iron Ridge Campground
"Comfortable, quiet, hiking trails, the usual campsite amenities........check. Great bugs!"
"This is by far the best NP NF campground I’ve found so far. Great level spots, fire pit, picnic table, asphalt parking for small RVs and vehicle parking near tent sites."
"Nice almost off grid camping. The water is down in whole area but they still offered septic dump station. Very nice sites and activities and town close by. Wish we could have stayed longer"
"Clean, secluded, spacious campsites in a private, wooded and hilly area of the Wayne National Forest Ironton unit. Very scenic and cozy. The other campground at Vesuvius is more for RVs, and the sites are more closely packed together. If you're camping in a tent and/or just want some privacy, the Iron Ridge campground is the way to go. The campsites were all clean and seemed well-maintained. The roads were in great shape. Easy access."
