Discover the unique charm of Mary’s Place Campground, where tranquility meets convenience. Nestled within walking distance of all that Lava has to offer, this hidden gem is perfectly situated away from the hustle and bustle of downtown. Surrounded by the scenic Portneuf River, our campground provides a serene escape, with RV sites elevated about 30 feet above the river and a Riverside tent area right on the water's edge. The natural landscape, including mountains and trees, creates a peaceful barrier that shields you from road and train noise, ensuring a restful stay that other campgrounds simply cannot match. Whether you're looking to explore nearby swimming holes, engage in outdoor activities, or enjoy local restaurants and shops, Mary’s Place Campground is your gateway to adventure. Owned and operated by the Bannock County Deputy Sheriff’s Association Inc., we are proud to be a non-profit organization. All revenue generated is reinvested into enhancing the campground. Since 2010, we have completed extensive renovations, including new power, sewer lines, water lines, and irrigation systems. Each year, we strive to make Mary’s Place your favorite camping destination. Experience Lava’s “Best Kept Secret” on your next visit!
