Steve and Chase are wonderful hosts. The river is glorious. The bathrooms are clean, the fire pits prepard. We come back every year.

Normally very quiet but this time the helicopter flying logs out from 6:30am to 3:30pm was tiring. Site was clean and long enough for us. Campground host was very neighborly. Little to do with the raging river. Just get rid of the helicopter.

Our site was *very* close to the neighboring site, which was blessedly empty, because otherwise there would have been zero privacy between the two. Perfect for a family gathering, not so much for individual parties.
The campground was very well kept, clean and lovingly maintained.

We loved how close everything was to the Indian River. Tubing was so much fun and the water was refreshing. The camp host was great and these were the cleanest campsite bathrooms I've ever used.

The camp hosts are incredibly lovely. They took care of my daughter and her friends when they were their camping and made sure they had a lovely time.

This campsite was so bad we got there and decided to leave. It was small, crowded, loud (someone with a generator right next to us. There was very little river access, kinda tricky to maneuver down and tbh not a very impressive river (may have been lower this year? Idk.) I did check it all out as we were weighing the options of trying to drive around and find a first come first serve site at another campground (which we did.) We would have been miserable here, surprised the reviews did not mention any of this. Our site was number 10 and i had reserved it for two nights, so had to forfeit the $, but I was glad we chose to leave (in case anyone is curious, we ended up at schoolhouse which was at least bigger campsite and more quiet.)

Indian Valley is a great place to relax. The weather was cool at night and warm enough to swim in the daytime. We fell asleep to the sound of the river and woke up to the birds singing! The camp sights are spacious and the campers were friendly.

Indian Valley Campground is the most enchanted and idyllic getaway! Serenity, inner tubing, fishing, campfires, friendship, it has it all. Off grid with no cell service, family bonding time that is the best recreation. Come prepared for an escape to Nature..,
