From I 15 take Exit 47 MCCammon US 30 East 11 miles to Lava Hot Springs.
Just spent the weekend at Mary’s Place campground and LOVED it! We’ll definitely be back! It was very clean, the camp hosts were Awesome, and it’s within walking distance to all the fun attractions!! Our only complaint was that we didn’t get to stay longer! 😆
We stayed in tent sites 6&7. Beautiful scenery and lovely shade. Nice grass. Good spot if you just want to sit and enjoy company, or play yard games.
Kids were disappointed that getting in the river, 10 feet from tent site, is prohibited because Mary’s campground doesn’t carry insurance for it. Especially upsetting because KOA guests (directly across from us) are paddling around this very calm spot in the river.
Three stars instead of five for inability to enter the river at tent site, and also for the lack of parking by the tent site. Very inconvenient to have to put all supplies in tent every night and hike up long hill to get to vehicle and bathrooms.
Bathrooms are about the same quality as your average old park restrooms with concrete floors, and cracked toilets.
This campground is very well kept and the camp hosts were great. Lots of grass and plenty of shade. It sits right on the river but it's fenced so it's safe for little kids. The only issue was the portable latrines. They were full & out of TP. Luckily, they have a permanent, full-service bathroom that was clean but it was a 5 min walk from our campsite.
My family and I spent the weekend at Mary’s Place and it was a great experience overall! The campsite was very spacious and has so much shade and grass; It also has power hookups, water and a picnic table. Kevin and Marie were great hosts checking up on us helping us with our fire pit and picking up our garbage bags with their golf cart. They sell ice and have clean bathroom/showers! My kids and I will definitely be coming back!
The campground is wonderful. There are a lot of trees and shade. Things I don’t like are that they make you buy their wood for the camp fires. You can’t bring it in. Their wood isn’t really wood. It’s bark with sticks. It’s impossible to cook with and makes the fire so Smokey. I honestly don’t know why anyone would sell you bark when you need coals to cook. The trains going through in the middle of the night and blowing their horns and applying their brakes was very unpleasant. Our group had an incredibly hard time sleeping because we were all in tents.
