What Guests Are Saying
Indian Valley Campground offers a serene and beautiful experience, especially early in the season when it's quiet and clean. Camp hosts, Steve and Cash, are frequently praised for their friendliness and attentiveness, enhancing the overall stay. While some campsites are close together, the well-maintained facilities, stunning river views, and excellent hiking trails make it a favorite for many visitors.

Nice campground close to river. The toilet smell can drift over to campsites close to the bathrooms.
Our spot was shady but some seemed to be in full sun which wouldn’t be fun!

Overall enjoyed our stay at Indian Valley. Plusses: Small campsite, quiet, nice location adjacent to river, ample room for tents. Minuses: No onsite camp manager while we were there, wished there had been raised tent platforms, not just ground, our picnic table needed to be cleaned from previous campers (looks like it was covered in dried ice-cream). Recommend walking or driving to Rocking Rest campsite down 49 to take advantage of day-use park. Small walk to beautiful river side spot for relaxing, tubing or fishing. We went there twice and loved it. The Indian Valley store, just about half mile from Indian Valley camp site was well stocked and much appreciated. We bought firewood there.

We loved being able to walk to the river at a site safe for children with supervision. My grandson especially enjoyed picking berries and meeting up with other children in the campground. The campground was quiet at night and very clean. We'll definitely be returning for more berries and water fun.
