Mary’s Campground

Honestly, I feel like any other campground there are rules. If you don’t like rules then don’t camp at a campground. The camp-host was nice and respectful. He did do his rounds to make sure rules were being followed. If you obey the rules, you’re fine. If you don’t, you get asked to follow them or asked to leave. Not all campsites have a fire pit, so you have to rent one. There’s also not a “play” area. This campground is nice, but it’s a little tight.

Great staff, very welcoming and helpful. Loved the full hookups. Loved the environment with seeing all the kids playing around and having fun. Just a few short minutes from downtown. Only complaint is all the cotton falling over everywhere from the cottonwood trees. I know they can’t help that but just thought I’d share. Also sites are kind of on top of each other but we had such friendly neighbors that we didn’t mind at all. Very family friendly would definitely come back!

It is pretty packed in the summer. Lots of people. But rather clean. I would go back. But maybe fall or spring.

Mary’s gets some stars for being green and shaded with bathrooms/showers, and full hookups. It also has a lovely suspension bridge to town. A pretty easy walk to the hot pools with little kids. It’s also along the river and train tracks. All of which I thought was delightful to see and hear. The camp host was also very helpful with parking. But Mary’s loses stars for how close the sites are to each other. There is zero privacy; you’re on-top if each other. Being so close wouldn’t be so bad, but it’s definitely a party camp site. If you want to be kept awake at all hours of the night by loud and drunk party people of all ages that have zero respect for noise discipline...then this is the place. If you’re a young family or retired couple looking for a peaceful retreat. This is not the place for you.

Nice Location right along the Portneuf River with very easy acess to the hot springs thanks to a cool suspension bridge!  The campsites are very well shaded and there are options for RV hookups.

We stayed at Mary’s once and that’s all we will ever stay. The site #7 was right on the river, and just too close to #6 & #8...Yes they did have showers and bathrooms and that’s the 2nd star but the tent campsites super narrow. Now I don’t know how the RV sites are but the tent sites below were nothing to really brag about to friends and family. As we saw people float down the river, we were not allowed to get into the river from our campsite which was right in the river. Let’s just say We’ve been there, done it, and no need to return..

Seemed a little over priced for what it was. The RV sites were good and tent sites had lots of grass but still is $40 a night. Close to hot springs and town.
