Very nice space and view. We loved the quiet and saw some beautiful birds, but there are a couple of weaknesses. First, there really should be easier access to large trash cans. There are a few large dumpsters, but not well-situated--many campers will have to walk quite a way to find them, and that's especially annoying to those of us with dogs who scoop their poop. Second, though we paid ahead there was no information on how to check in, and nobody around to help. Finally, when we left we found that the cesspit at the dump site was full so we had to go to Pine Bluff to dump our sewage; and again, there was nobody around to consult with. Cellphone signal was just about non-existent, but we can't fault the campground for that. Having said all that, we will be back. The good outweighs the bad. I would say that the full dump site was a fluke, but they REALLY need to provide more trash receptacles.

no one was at the check in shack , no clear instructions on how to check in , large rocks on the bank made you lose a lot of hooks and sinkers , camp ground was very nice and loved the roof over the picnic tables , all and all give it a 6 out of 10

Hidden gem. Plenty of space at sites. Not many sites used.

We truly enjoyed our trip to Tar Camp...the only thing was, there was no gate attendant when we got there...so we had to find our site without any help...
We have volunteered as Gate Attendants before and as workers, so that really surprised us...also, no one ever came by to check on us or to even say Hi...just use to other ACOE parks... overall, the park is very well maintained!
