I stayed at Ironton a week Sept 2019 in a large class A motor home. Nothing here just great dry camping so be prepared. There is lots of room to spread out or if you have a small pop-up or tent, you can find many places to hide away from everyone. I will be staying here every year from now on and using it as a base to ride the trials of the San Juan mountains. Jeeps or ORV are required along with good maps.  If you arrive from the south on highway 550 you will need to enter the parking lot for the Corkscrew jeep trail and turn around (heading back south) as all the entrances into Ironton are a very sharp Right hand switch-back and difficult unless you have less than a 20 foot RV..Google map in Satellite view to see it! The old town site has been preserved and there are many old buildings to the south of the camping area to explore and the old railroad line built by Otto Mears, (the man who built HWY 550, the Million dollar highway), follows the old creek and the road that enters the area. You can find coal and rail road spikes if you look hard enough. No Att cell service and very limited Verizon signal. you might make a call but no internet so bring some books, dvd's or hit the Redbox in town.  Bring your own firewood too. Water is available,,,$$,, in Silverton at the visitor center so fill up before coming.
