Clean campsite. Friendly voluneers. Beautiful views!
(only thing that needs tending to is cleaning the drains in the shower but other than that, it was great!)

Many of the sites are backed up to the river. The area is beautiful.

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.
