The park was full the weekend we stayed around July 4th. A lot of families enjoying time together and the part was still a quiet place to relax. Sites are well spaced in most areas. A new bathhouse had been installed. There was concrete from the camping pad to the picnic table area, except for the site we chose. Was a bit unlevel going from the pad to the table. We were still happy to be camping on the bank of the Arkansas River, enjoying the breeze in the shade even with the extreme temperatures. We will return.

Well managed, Friendly Park staff and very helpful. Good cell phone service at&t. Great grocery store in town. There is alot to be said about this park. Camp pads for rv/trailer are level, some spots may need minor leveling. We will be back.

Tar Camp is a hidden gem. This park is right on the Arkansas River, all the campsites are on the river bank. The road into the park is lined on both sides with trees. The park is absolutely beautiful. The restrooms are well maintained and the Park Attendants are great.
I’m already planning my next

We love going here. Clean bathrooms and showers in the back. Respectful neighbors. Great staff. Hopefully the sticker issue will be solved in the middle of the park next year as that’s the only huge negative here. Will be back though.
