The campground was beautiful. The bathroom and shower facilities were awful: dirty, unventilated and unlit half the time. The worst I’ve seen.

For the week we were there we were only 1 of 4 other campers. We absolutely loved it! It was quiet, clean and the most peaceful vacation we have had yet. The grass needed mowing when we arrived but that was taken care of the next day. This is my most favorite camping spot yet.

Nice clean park and close to home for weekend getaways. The RV pads are very nice and enlarged beyond the picnic camp table.
Nice breeze off of the river made extremely hot days bearable.

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!

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
