Iron Creek Dispersed Camping | Wild Camping

Wild camping is allowed her. There are many dispersed spots along the road.

Please remember to pack it in and pack it out. No trash services. Leave it better than you found it and follow campfire restrictions.

Such an awesome spot. Camped right next to the river. Stayed two nights and only saw one other camper come in late to leave early

Awesome sites with cell reception and creek access. Heads up that summer weekends are very crowded (Friday/Saturday nights). Both nights I patrolled at ~5pm and could not get a spot. For busy weekends I recommend driving a tiny bit further out of Stanley past the "designated camping" area, because the dispersed camping out there is not restricted so you are not confined to specific sites that can fill up. On Tuesday evening however I rolled up here at 8pm and still got a spot. :)

Great little spots close to Stanley. Basically empty on a Monday.

Great spot, get here before evening though as most spots get grabbed. Perfect if you want to hike the sawtooth lake trail as it’s just down from the trailhead. 2 min to Stanley.

9 sites a few creekside. Most are 10 day limit. Each has a iron fire ring with grate Wooded area allows for shade and plenty of hammock hanging trees. Verizon and AT&T both great signal here. camping higher up road equals no service.

I didn’t stay here because it was full but seems really nice. Lots of people setting up camp and leaving for the day. Service seems good on ATT and nice shaded areas. Sites a little close together
