First time camping here in 5 or 6 years that the campground was clean and well mowed. The dump station was finally finished. The bathroom and showers were looked after, new bathrooms were almost finished. Even had attendants on duty. This was absolutely the best kept Tar Camp I have ever stayed at.

Our second time visiting this beautiful park on our journey across the states. Always a joy to visit and wonderful and friendly camp hosts. Definitely a must stay if you’re in the area

Camp was beautiful but the restroom maintenance left a lot to be desired- toilet paper was not replenished and cleaning was minimal.

This place was so peaceful and pretty. I can’t wait until the bathroom gets fixed in section D though! We will be coming back and bringing friends.

Just an overnight stop, it was quiet and well kept. I'd definitely stop again, with my fishing stuff too hopefully.

Tar Camp is looking better than it has in years. New bathrooms going in. Cleaned up nicely.

This is a very beautiful and quiet park. We stayed in a fifth wheel in late October. I’m sure it is very busy in peak season.

We were in site D17 right on the Arkansas River from 10/28/23-10/31/23. The site had 50amp and water only but was a large paved site. We had 3 dogs with us and the stickers were an issue. Our cell signal (Cricket) was slow. We never saw a camp host or a Park Ranger. It is a quiet park with very little traffic. It is a great park to get away and relax in!
