Nice quiet campground but someone needs to take care of the overgrown grass and weeds

Our stay at Tar Camp was wonderful and peaceful. We booked an extra night so we wouldn't have to break camp in the rain. Our fire pit was so full of trash which we did not use. It would be so beneficial to have a bathroom in the D section and a working street light. Overall we enjoyed our stay and will be back. Thank you!

Had a Wonderful get away, the campsite was very spacious and shady. While it was a hot weekend we really enjoyed our morning walks and cooking out in the evening. Nice to just relax and get away. River view was beautiful especially at sunset. Will repeat this venture soon…

Clean park. Only bad thing was the power outlet at D8 had weak breakers.

Our first few times at Tar Camp were great. We loved it. But the last couple times we have been it doesn’t seem to be as well maintained. There’s trash at the sites, burn pits and grills aren’t being emptied, and bathrooms aren’t very well maintained. Also we were initially told by a park ranger that we could have a small pool out there and then the last time we were out there a ranger came and told us we could not have a pool of any kind. We noticed others that had pools out there had also emptied and deflated theirs. Being that we can’t swim out there (nor would I want to) a small pool is nice to have for our 6 year old since we like to spend the day fishing and it gives her something to do and a way to stay cool. Needless to say we will not be returning to Tar Camp.

Park was in need of TLC. There was not a gate attendant as non had bided for the job and the park was not well maintained. It is well suited for bank fishing.

Spacious, quite & clean. Watching the tugboats go by was relaxing. My only wish would be to have more than one bathhouse (which is far away from the campsites) and I wish they would add back a hiking trail. I miss the old nature trail. We recommend it and will be back.
