Beautiful park with a terrific view. Spotless clean and neat. Only regret was the showers. 3 of the 4 showers were broken and the one that did work was cold water only. I wasn't expecting that. But I would definitely camp there again if I'm ever in the area while traveling.

We have stayed at Tar Camp several times. The bathroom/shower facilities are a big factor for us when camping and Tar Camp offers one of the best. We enjoy watching the barges quietly making their way down the river and birders will not be disappointed. Only one warning is to be aware of the goat heads. Depending on the material of our shoes, one pair was covered with them, and one pair did not allow them the stick.

This is a very lovely campground with great waterfront sites. A definite go to when in the area. Very small town, but a decent grocery store and doable laundromat. Not far from the city if that's your thing.

It has been a few years since I have stayed at Tar Camp. It was nice to see the new upgrades. The park staff were helpful and very friendly. We will be back soon, it was a peaceful few nights.

The park attendants, Karen & Ethan, are very attentive and friendly. We had an issue with a tree limb falling and our 110 hookup, and they took care of them quickly! We always enjoy Tar Camp!!

We had a beautiful, level back in site on the water. Very quiet time of year at Tar Camp…the parking spaces were spaced well and not top of each other. We will be back!

We had a wonderful experience. The sites were all well kept. Unfortunately, with the burn ban, we couldn't enjoy our stay to the fullest so well have to come back. The only reason I cant give it all stars is because they had the middle/main restrooms closed, which is less than a hundred yards from our site. Instead we had to go 300 yards to the next one.
