Iron Creek Campground, (NFS) Washington

After we left Mt. St. Helens we were headed to Mt. Ranier but we decided to take a day or two off and just rest. I came across the camping area below which was between the two parks.

It is south of Randle, Washington, on Forest Service Road #25. We found a great spot. It is $20 a night for no hook ups. The sites are large. Road is paved and so are sites. They have picnic tables and fire rings. It is right on a river (our site wasn't) and there is a hiking trail within it that is 1.5 miles and one nearby that is 2.5 miles.






The picture below is of the river that our campground was situated at. You could tube down it, fish on it or just look at it !




During one of our hikes I took this picture of Jeff. As you can see this forest is very lush and green. In this picture a tree had fallen and Jeff is standing in front of the gaping hole in the ground.



I was amazed at how big these leaves were. Look at the size of my hand in comparison to the leaf.



This marshy area was on the way to the trailhead we hiked near the campground.



See ya down the road !
