Iron Creek - Crawford State Park
Reviewed May. 31, 2020

Great campground close to Black Canyon of Gunnison

We had site # 26 it had water & electric hook up, picnic table, fire pit & a metal shelter over the table for shade & wind. Great view of the lake but the lake level was down so we weren't as close as you could be but still a great lake & mountain view. I have Verizon I had 2 to 3 bars & could stream Pandora. We had deer, Western Meadowlarks, bluebirds & magpies. The camp host was awesome. Nice clean restrooms and clean campground. 

The campground is close to one entrance of the Black Canyon of Gunnison (one of the least visited national Park) it's it's deeper than the grand canyon & narrow. Nice little hikes & pull over view points easy to enjoy. Across from the overview loop there was a small campground we drove through and some viewpoints there. A small trail Chasem took you right to the edge there was a chain link fence between you & the canyon. We saw Elk on the way in & out of the park. 

Take some time to drive to the shoreline & set up your chairs & relax. Fishing along there is good. 

The campground is big with several loops & is maintained well.
