Iron Mine

Nestled in the scenic North Fork Drainage on the southern slope of the Uinta Mountains, Iron Mine Campground offers a serene escape into Utah's high-country wilderness. At an elevation of 7,513 feet, this federal campground provides a crisp, mountain atmosphere perfect for those looking to disconnect and immerse themselves in nature. Whether you are an avid angler casting for trout in the North Fork Duchesne or a hiker eager to explore the surrounding trails, the location serves as an excellent basecamp for outdoor adventure.

This is a primitive, no-hookup site managed by the USFS, designed for campers who enjoy a self-sufficient experience. The campground is equipped with basic amenities, including vault toilets, picnic tables, and fire rings to ensure a comfortable stay under the stars. Because the site is rustic and lacks utility hookups, it is best suited for tent campers and RV travelers who are prepared for dry camping in a beautiful, remote setting.

With year-round accessibility and an affordable nightly fee of just $10, Iron Mine is a fantastic choice for anyone seeking a quiet, moderate-level outdoor experience. The area is ideal for those interested in mountain biking, horseback riding, and backcountry exploration. Come prepared to enjoy the peaceful solitude of the North Fork drainage and the breathtaking landscapes of northeastern Utah.
