This cozy, partially screened guest hut is situated on 200 sweeping acres of pastureland and steep, rolling hillsides. Floor to ceiling windows on the east side allow for a gorgeous view of the mountains and the lovely night sky. Composting toilet and hot water shower with equally impressive views. Enjoy the view, hike, bike, horseback ride, relax by the creek, swim the Columbia or Kettle River and fish Elbow Lake. So much to do and all super close or actually on the property! Multiple hiking and horseback riding trails right on the ranch with a map to instruct you on trail routes. Hut is 100% off grid.
Iron Mountain Ranch features the owner's hand built straw bale house which is run off solar power, a friendly herd of horses along with a few cats and three dogs. (look up the ranch social media accounts online for additional pictures).
Since this hut is built with partially screened walls and partial solid walls, you should consider the season when requesting a booking. I will accept bookings starting on May 1st but even in May the night time temps can be cold. Checking the local Northport, WA weather forecast can give you an idea of what weather we will be expecting. Please consider this luxurious tent camping as there is no heat source in the hut, no electricity or running water. Please bring lanterns, flashlights, headlamps etc. We provide a small charcoal grill but please bring your own charcoal. We also provide a two burner propane cook stove but please bring your own propane canisters.
The futon is a queen size and I can provide sheets and bedding but prefer you bring your own if possible as we have no laundry facilities on the property.
***There is a very limited supply of potable water on the property so you are required to pack in your drinking and cooking water. Dish washing and shower water is provided.***
In the early spring and late fall we cover the screened walls of the hut with clear window plastic so that the nights are not very cold inside the screen house. We provide a propane buddy heater that is safe for indoor use to help keep the space warm for you.
Utilize the unique composting toilet, our own design which became the first approved toilet of it's kind in the county. A hot water shower with equally impressive views is close to the straw house but still as private as you need it to be.
Horseback riding is available upon request and for an additional fee.

This is not a spot bc the park ranger told us we were not allowed to camp here
Traveler
This campsite was overall a really good time! There's a trail that leads to the water for any of the campers or visitors to go swim at, site 13 had its own trail down to the water which was so fun to have easy access too! If you want a site with a beautiful view and flat tent spots site 9 and 10 also looked beautiful!
If you plan to stay at the walk in sites I recommend bringing a wagon! The walk from car to campground is not far but there is a decent hill you have to walk down to the campsite.
Pit toilet was nice and well taken care of! The hand sanitizer was out, but otherwise very clean. The only toilet is at the parking lot, so it's a short walk from the campsites.
The other downside was bugs! SO many bee's! Especially when we ate we had to walk with our food to keep the bee's away we never got stung though!. And mosquitos at night were bad but all of it was manageable with big spray!
Overall a great campsite, if you go during the week you might have the walk in sites all to yourself, not crowded and lots of fun!
Ranger
Difficult to find a spot that accommodates a 30-ft rig but I managed a pull out on the side of the road with not too much dust. Beautiful silence, amazing Blue Skies and Forest all around, Fantastic waking up to dense fog.
Scout
Really well maintained, beautiful campground with great swimming water. Peewee falls is about a 10 minute kayak from the beach. Great stay. Definitely recommend staying during the week. Weekend traffic is intense.
TravelerNice place on public land. Swimming possible. We stayed for the night
Traveler
A great place if you’re looking for a quick overnight stop with easy highway access. Water from a hand pump well and vault toilets available. Also a nice ADA trail at site.
Traveler
Undeveloped and rather unkempt, but a lovely view of the river. Quiet and free! There is a porta-potty that was clean when we visited but no trash pickup and some litter. Great place for a quick overnight stay.
Traveler
Campsite 36 in the Pine loop is just a short walk away from a lovely lake beach that has fire pits and picnic tables. The campsite itself is very nice, large, shaded, with a decent distance from neighboring campers as far as campgrounds go. I didn't do what I usually do and walk around the campground to see what the best site is to book during future visits, but I have zero complaints about this site. We really enjoyed our stay at Lake Sullivan and our excursions to Metaline Falls, Gardner Cave, Peewee Falls, Mill Pond Historic Site, and Crescent Lake.
Guide
Right on the Lake, has water Filling Station and Dump Also Boat ramp A bunch of small Flies, they don’t bite
Scout
Arrived to find an available site. Nice view of Lake Leo. Clean site, vault toilet's were clean and well stocked. The grounds were checked up on by the Forest Service and camp host. There are no services at the sites other than fire pits. Water is available. However, it needs filtering. Camp sites are far enough away from Highway 20 that traffic wasn't heard.
Guide
This site #8 is one of the larger sites at Sullivan Creek.
It’s right next to the river and about 150 yards from the road.
At the site: Fire Ring, and a bear box. Across the road there is a vaulted toilet along with a few campsites there next to each other.
Pack in and pack out! Sullivan lake is about 2-3 miles west and priest lake is 20+ miles to the east. If you do not have a 4wd vehicle I wouldn’t recommend driving on the service road to Priest, and depending the time of year the snow pack about 10 miles in will stop you!
Traveler
What a beautiful spot! We arrived the weekend before Memorial Day weekend and stayed 3 nights. Saw eagles and deer right from our site. The vaulted toilets made life easy and the camp host was beyond friendly and helpful. The very small hike to the falls was only steps away from our site, and one of the sites you could even see the falls! We didn’t choose that one cuz it was full shade and a little noisy for my taste. The sites are roomy and pretty darn spaced out so we couldn’t hear the neighbor we had for a night. It’s about 10 min from colville, but make sure you get wood before hand, you can gather from the area, but stopping at a store to grab it costs a fortune. We might have to make this a regular spot, we loved it so much.
Traveler
Great
Traveler
Worked well to connect spots that were next to each other for a larger group. But most of the ground was hard and difficult to find good tent spots. The only level spots were the parking spots. Access to water was nice.
Traveler
Great site to connect with the lake, but didn't enjoy the tent spots available. Ground was hard and mostly prepared for RVs.

Traveler
Unfortunately we had to leave early but lesson learned. I was camping with my 4 sons and at 1255 am a big cougar walked right into our camp. I was fully prepared for bears but not a big cat. Next time I camp here I'm bringing a solar strobe to deter the cats
Scout
Chip & Bunny are the greatest hosts! We had to leave a day early (without notice) due to the fires being close to our home and they refunded the one night back to us without even being asked. We surely didn’t expect that! We will be back again.
ScoutVery quiet, small lake, boat launch, outhouse
Scout
I enjoyed staying in the screen house cabin and will definitely be back. Lots to do in the area if you like fishing, hiking, biking, horses, and much more. I had a great campfire and watched a mama bear and her cub on the hill beyond the cabin! Also saw deer in the driveway and the night sky was awesome with NO lights in any direction except the stats!
Great hosts and everything you need!

They were so friendly. Nice spots, wide, easy to back in (30ft). Free fresh eggs from their chicken, fresh onions from the garden and more. Never felt so welcomed like here.
Guide
We had a great experience here. The owner Ralph is very affable and helped us get to our site the first night as well as drove my car back for me from the canoe launch site. I’d highly recommend this camp!
Guide
This is a great spot to rent a cabin. There’s great fishing as long as a license is bought online from the Colville Tribe. They also have a swimming area.
Scout
Super quiet
Legend
This is a five star campground based on our criteria. Only reason we give it four stars is they are letting the only trees they have for shade die and they are creating a mess. No shade without them. Grounds are largely in disarray. Also washers are top load agitator type. There are many positives though that will bring us back. It is largely a quiet small campground. It is very reasonably priced and is very dog friendly. There are several places to walk the dogs on leash and off within either walking distance or a short drive to the Colville national forest. Management is really friendly and flexible to changing needs. And they do not require payment until you show up. This is a great spot for golfers as well as non golfers. Note the club has pickle ball courts for free use! Great little restaurant and bar on site too with very cheap drinks ($9 Moscow mule!)
ScoutCool place, but not for camping. Contrary to the description, this place isn’t meant for established or even disbursed camping. There are no campsites. We looked around the area for disbursed camping spots, but the terrain made it really difficult to get around and find a place to pitch a tent/hammock. I wouldn’t recommend for campers, but the trails would be great for cross country skiing. This place is not a campsite. It’s a group of cross country ski trails.
