Tar Camp is a great short drive from home. It’s a beautiful place to relax along the Arkansas River and watch the barges come through. There’s a new restroom/bath house. Something new I found out last trip is that one of the bathhouses is a storm shelter.

Beautiful site right on the River. River has locks and dams so you will see barges being transported on River. Locks are smaller so boats will have less barges than you will see on Mississippi River, but still fun to see. Heavy rains while we were there but river was controlled by the dams. River was flowing quickly so no swimming.

Quiet, always well groomed campground. Enjoy the breeze coming off of the water as we watch the barges travel up and down the river. Police and park ranger patrol the area on a consistent basis. Park host are polite and very helpful.

It was a lovely park. It was a new experience not having anyone to check us in when we arrived or at least the next morning. Read a note on the guard house that gave instructions to call or text so I text that we had arrived. Heard nothing nor seen anyone until I text that we were checking out the next day. Finally got a text back telling me they were off that day but would get me checked out. Thing is I wasn’t sure if we were checked in but I had my reservation and information if we needed it. Would definitely go back!!!!

I normally stay at this campground for a couple nights every year. The camp ground is generally clean, and the shower restroom area is acceptable.
