This really is an awesome place to camp and get some good kayaking in! The park itself is well maintained and offers some great amenities. There's nice bathrooms and showers not far to walk from your site either. There's full electric, water and sewer hook ups as well. The camp host is so friendly and the workers as well. Clean camp sites and they offer wood purchases that they will deliver to you. Also can get ice and a few other things. There's lots of shaded areas and beautiful scenery. We do advise putting all food up and night as there are skunks that like to get into stuff, garbage too. But they only come out when everyone is sleeping and easily run away when you shine a light at them. We kayaked from Indian Mary to ennis riffle. Super fun and there's places to stop on the way to swim. For more experienced kayakers you can get in at hogs creek and follow it all the way down. Overall this place was great, clean campsites and decently priced. We are really looking forward to our next visit. Also it's not far from town either. So if you need something it's within 10 min to get. We kayaked in the intex k2 kayaks and they handled well in the water. DON'T forget your sun screen and water ;)

My family and I camped at the group site. It was very beautiful, the whole camping area was beautiful. The kids really enjoyed the volleyball area. Everyone was friendly. However, it was a bit hard to get down to the river from our site without having to drive a mile to get to a nice area and that had easy access. Also our second day there our "neighbors" let us know about a skunk spraying at a different site, the host let everyone else know but us. And out last night there we had 5 skunks decide to come by our tents and tried spraying us, one did spray my sisters dog a little. Our teenagers went to let the camp host know and they decided to let us know "oh yea, there's 5 skunks, 2 silver back foxes and a mountain lion in the brushes by your site" our little ones were freaked out after hearing that. I think that should be something to mention when campers are staying on that site especially. Other then that it was an amazing area. Just be cautious of the black berry bushes and their thorns.

July 4-10, 2022 best camping experience ever thanks in a great part to Head Hosts Rod & Tiffany! Super chill couple that go out of their way to help. Campgrounds are well kept and spacious with easy access to the Rogue River. Even tho it rained the first two days we had a memorable week with our daughter & son in law. Family time is never wasted time. Robert & Joanne P. Springfield Oregon

This is a wonderful place for the whole family to enjoy. The park is greatly maintain. Park mangers are friendly and caring. All R.V. spaces are very clean. You need to look for ticks on Your pets. They are bad this time of year. (Summer) you will love 💕 visiting Indian Mary Park.

Is there a way to park downriver and shuttled back up to start a floating trip

Jimmy Glenn | Aug 22, 2021
Shellie Eakin Causley | Nov 25, 2021

If you’re going with a larger group with 2 or more cars you can leave a car down at Ennis Riffle County park (and maybe even a couple of non floating friends) and shuttle yourselves between the two parks.

Are charcoal campfires allowed?

Ruth Barker | Aug 22, 2021
Jerardo Gomez | Aug 22, 2021

So far yes. My understanding is the fire pit can be used as seen fit as long as the fire is safe and there are no fire regs that preclude it

Does anyone know if they are allowing campfires right now? Last month it was not permitted at Valley of the rogue due to wildfires. Its just not the same without a crackling campfire after dark.

Eric Lariviere | Aug 22, 2021
Diane Evans | Aug 22, 2021

We were there over the weekend, they are allowing propane fires only. We saw several folks who had portable fire pits run on propane. No wood fires were allowed. This may have changed due to the rain we got.

There’s much better places above and below this park to fly fish. I wouldn’t want to fly fish here - and as stated before- there is a lot of water traffic here.

Roxie Brown | Aug 23, 2019

You can swim at Indian Mary however the current can be very strong with undertows. Supervision of children and confidence in swimming skills are a must. Otherwise kayaking and fishing are definitely on the agenda!
