Eight campsites sit along Cold Creek inside Iron Horse State Park, accessed by paved road most of the way with a final stretch of hard-packed dirt. The campground is free and open Thursday through Monday, with a yellow gate bar blocking entry on other days. A covered picnic area with two tables and a fire pit sits near the creek. Site 6 provides the most privacy. Pit toilets are on-site, and pets are welcome.
